Giant Origami Pheasant Party Decor Or Stage Set!
If you are creating a giant origami stage set, or perhaps a wall filled with origami party decorations, you may like this giant origami pheasant, with a crown, as he makes a great friend for the giant origami partridge or even the paper peacock! I grew up making origami as a child, and as a mother needing party decorations for my kids realized that origami could also work using the largest paper I could find, generally wrapping paper! And the creative part about origami is that you create an environment for your origami, or add pattern to the origami pieces themselves. Either way, give it a try, plus it is…

Giant Origami Partridge With A Crown!
I love origami, and especially giant origami, as why not put all that effort into something that in itself makes great party decor? I have made giant origami clowns, and giraffes in the past, and now I am adding a giant origami partridge to the list. I didn’t really have time to make the partridge as it is supposed to be made (instructions follow) but making up your own version is just fine as well, after all, origami is an artistic representation, which makes it that much more amazing! I made these origami birds to hang as part of a set decoration for a Purim party, and now I’m about…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Tuesday night is the very festive holiday of Purim, and I fortunately was able to take the decorations I made for our women’s party and use them at home, yippee! That means a bit less pressure, or more time to whip up delicious food for hosting those 25 people? Of course that is just the number of folks we’ve invited, there will be many more dropping by all afternoon. For Purim we also give gifts of food, and I’ll be repeating last year’s effort with a nice selection of Morocannish salads, which everyone enjoyed. Of course I need…

How To Incorporate Contemporary Design Into Your Home
When we think about our homes and what role they play in our busy lives, most folks would likely say that they want their home to be a refuge or retreat from the busy world. Others might see their home as a gathering place or most likely a combination of a place to relax and entertain. Regardless of your personal goals for your home, those goals can be greatly enhanced with your design choices! The wonderful thing about “design” as opposed to “decoration” is that design is about looks and function while decoration is purely decorative. Most of us don’t live in palaces that can afford to have spaces that…

Super Quick Paper Lanterns That Can Light Up!
This year my Purim decorations are all about the quick factor, as with the festive holiday just around the corner, in addition to many guests and food prep, quick is all there is really time for. Ah yes, and the truth is that the decorations I will hang in my house were mostly made for our community Purim party which already took place, so that is a huge help at this point. So where does the need for quick come into play? Well, for that Purim party on Sunday night I had only Saturday night to make the decorations and about 1 1/2 hours to hang them, just before the…

Giant DIY Accordian Fold Paper Flowers
If you ever need some great looking paper wall decorations, and you are just not sure what to make, give this giant accordian fold flower a try, and you’ll want to make enough to fill the entire wall. It is true, one can buy manufactured accordian fold flowers that are similar, but there is nothing quite like the look of something handmade, right? Plus you’ll be able to customize yours in so many ways depending on the paper you choose! And if you really want to get creative, how about taping together a bunch of magazine or catalog pages and using those? Or even paint or stamp patterns onto your…
