Yom Kippur Craft Using Last Year’s Calendar!
I am reposting this from last year, as it is just too great to pass by, and as a reminder to myself to make another with my 2018 calender! I’ll be the first to admit, crafts for Yom Kippur are rarely something I’ve had time for, as the holiday occurs just four days before Succot, for which I am crafting up a storm. That said, this year I am mending my ways and trying to post at least a few simple ideas for the holiday, as after all, every holiday deserves crafts right? This year I decided to try out some simple recycling craft techniques by creating a few things…

Crocheted Flower Pillow With Applique
Here is the perfect home decor item to bring spring into your home, introducing the crocheted flower applique pillow. Hmm, or maybe it is called the pillow with crocheted flower applique, not quite sure, but in any case this one is a winner and I’m so happy that I’ve actually managed to complete a project that is going to great use in my home! Oh, and of course there isn’t really a greater stash buster than this as you can mix and match as many colors as your little heart desires! I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit wary of crocheted pillows as far as wear and tear,…

Crocheted Heart Wall Hanging
Phew, I finally figured out what to do with my crocheted cherry blossom heart! Ta da, it makes a really adorable little crocheted wall hanging, or maybe it is really a vertical garland, hmmm, not quite sure what to call it, but nonetheless it is truly sweet and quite simple to make. This is the kind of pattern that will look entirely different depending on your choice of colors, so go pastel or bright or even neutral, and the results will be a great way to spread the love. While you are at it whip up a bunch so you’ll always have a little homemade gift on hand, ah yes,…

Crocheted Plush Popcorn Stitch Flower Pattern
Looking for a gorgeous crocheted flower that is fun to make, has lots of plush dimension and looks fantastic? Here it is, the crocheted popcorn stitch flower that could be called a dahlia or even a chrysanthemum. And as you can see from this photo this flower is the perfect partner with the simple 2 row crocheted popcorn stitch flower, and in fact they are siblings! I do have to say, this flower is unlike most crocheted flowers as it is very plush! So I’d say that the wisest thing to do is to use it as an applique of some kind (which is what I have actually done, project…

Simple Crocheted Flower Pattern Using The Popcorn Stitch
The almond trees are now in bloom here in Northern Isreal, so it is a great time to whip up some simple little crocheted flowers that can be used in so many ways for spring crafting. Now let me tell you, this little 2 row flower is no ordinary crocheted flower as it is puffy, on account of the popcorn stitch which is used to form the petals, and since I used chunky yarn, these little guys have a depth of around 1/2″, which means they make perfect appliques for all kinds of decorative accessories such as pillows, wall hangings, garlands, you name it! Looking for a stash buster project,…

Simple Origami Fruit Is The Perfect Last Minute Tu B’Shevat Craft
I’m really not sure how Tu B’Shevat managed to sneak up on me just like that, but that aside, with the holiday coming tomorrow night now would be the time to whip up a few fun crafts and then run to the store and buy as many kinds of fruit (and nuts) as you possibly can to truly celebrate in style! It isn’t about quantity but about variety, so go for it! And speaking of variety, with this simple origami fruit craft you really can make a variety of fruit! Think orange paper for an orange, yellow paper for a lemon, green and red paper for apples, and purple paper…
