5 Minute Paper Cake Toppers Using Your Old Art
Today is my daughter’s 18th birthday, and so after 18 years of raising her and throwing birthday parties with lots of homemade decorations and cute DIY cakes I got it together rather at the last minute and pulled off a really cute birthday surprise complete with lots of recycling crafts that I can’t wait to share. The thing is, tonight is the beginning of a very sad 9 day mourning period on the Jewish calendar, so while I’m posting the DIY birthday cake decorations today, I think the rest will have to wait until after T’isha B’av so that my blog reflects what is actually going on in our minds…

How To Draw A Botanical Border For A New Baby Card
A new baby means a new baby card, and all that sketching or rather doodling in my sketchbook means it is time to put that practice to work in the form of a handmade card! And, why not do the artwork on a separate piece of paper, in this case notebook paper, and simply glue that on to the card? No pressure and great results, gotta love it! And while I don’t really favor the look of markers these days, I love how this simple card turned out, and the recipients didn’t even realize at first that it was hand made! So dear friends, learn how to make some simple…

Simple Watercolor Poppy Wall Art
After sharing a few posts last week showing the watercolor poppies I used to make holiday decorations I decided to hold off and publish this watercolor poppy wall art separately so that it wouldn’t get lost in all the gorgeousness of the watercolor poppy cut outs and the watercolor poppies centerpiece! After making those watercolor poppy cut-outs with straight stems, I realized that I could paint a panorama (two sheets of large watercolor paper used horizontally) of curved stem poppies to fill the width of my kitchen picture ledge for some more lovely decor! And yes indeed, simply painting a long row of poppies with no added background looks quite…

Blooming Watercolor Poppies Centerpiece Is Festive And Very Budget Friendly!
I am totally in love with the watercolor poppies in a pot centerpiece, well one-sided centerpiece really, and I have already made two more! This idea, is something that you can play around with depending on your own needs, and there are so many ways to go! I actually made a small one using a small round plastic peanut butter tub, which would make an adorable teacher appreciation gift or a token of appreciaion for a neighbor, for example. Then again, making larger pots of poppies really doesn’t take that much more time, so go for it, as this burst of festive and artful color is a joyful addition anywhere…

Please take my word for it, these watercolor poppy cutouts are one of the best things I’ve made in a long time, as there is just something about them that looks AMAZING! And that is even though my illustrations and the paint job were a bit lacking…….So get out the biggest watercolor paper you can find and start making some watercolor poppy cutouts, you won’t regret it, and in fact you’ll be jumping for joy and planning all the ways you can use these beauties! I have this idea of a diorama of sorts with watercolor poppies, so with that in mind I drew my poppies with straight stems so…

Simple Balloon Cactus Is Perfect Anytime!
This balloon cactus party centerpiece idea is truly a keeper, and I will very likely be making many many more of these simple balloon cacti in the future. I tend to need ideas that can be made for 8 to 10 tables, on a budget, and this is perfect! I can’t take credit for this idea, but I can take credit for using egg cartons to make the cactus flowers, which I just love! I made these cactus balloons for my son’s birthday party this past shabbat, and since the parsha of the week was bamidbar (which means “in the dessert”) well, the cactus theme was just perfect! The truth…
