Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! I want to wish everyone a very happy and fulfilling Jewish month of Elul! Elul is the last month of the year, and our opportunity to make amends for all the things during the year that we didn’t quite realize as we could have, for the people we may have hurt in any way, for the things we didn’t pay attention to as we should have and for the ways in which we could have been kinder to all those around us, including ourselves, just for starters! The astrological sign of the month of Elul is Virgo, because it just…

Happiness Is A Jar Full Of Tiny Origami Paper Stars

Truthfully, it really can be, and for starters it is all about putting things in perspective, being happy with your lot, and recognizing the need to be grateful for all the good you do have, not to mention for every moment and every morning that you wake up, as nothing is certain! On the other hand making tiny paper stars might come easily to some of us, while to others making a jar full of these would be torture. And that my friends is sort of like happiness: easy to come by for some and really difficult to achieve for others,…

Tiny Origami Stars Made From Paper Strips
Introducing my latest crafting obsession: tiny origami stars, also known as lucky stars. I think they are lucky stars because anyone who makes them just wants to make more and more, and that kind of craft obsession is truly a gift, generally speaking, especially if you are on a long car trip or an airplane or stuck waiting somewhere or in quarantine, or any number of situations wherein a little injection of joy is truly welcome! I’ll admit, despite my love for origami these stars somehow passed under my radar and it wasn’t until I was ordering some stationary supplies that I glimpsed some quilling paper strips photographed together with…

A DIY Birthday Crown For Every Age
In our home a birthday just isn’t a birthday without a birthday crown! Well, except for my birthday, as I have yet to make one for myself! As it turns out, these colorful and very simply birthday crowns, that can truly be made in around ten minutes if need be, are great photo props, and of course you can always take a few photos after the party at some point, just as long as the birthday girl/boy/man/woman agrees to wear the crown! If you really want to go all out, you can also make crowns for everyone, with the birthday crown being just a big bigger and maybe more decorated,…
