Giant Origami Fruit Centerpiece IKEA Hack
What do you get when origami meets IKEA? You get a giant origami fruit centerpiece that is very budget friendly and great for large parties with lots of tables. You know like Bar Mitzvahs, and Bat Mitzvahs and budget weddings, or sheva brachas, or a community event or a large birthday party, or just about any occasion that warrants a creative touch without breaking the bank. Not every creative touch centerpiece I’ve created over the years (and believe me, there have been many) has been as sweet as this one, and best of all when the festive occasion is over you can give away the origami fruit and just keep…

Giant Origami Apples Are Perfect For Any Party
A few weeks ago, just after the holiday of Tu B’Shevat I needed to make some simple centerpieces for a community women’s party, and I decided to try my hand at making a giant version of my origami apples and fruit. Fortunately the results were fantastic, especially with the addition of some gold leaves, and the same centerpieces were re-used a few days later at a shabbos Brit, which is perfect. Now, if your gears are turning, great, just know that there is a size limit to these origami fruit, namely the width of your paper, and once they get large folding the paper isn’t difficult, but expanding the shape…

DIY Fairy Lights Holiday Centerpiece
This post is sponsored by DHgate.com Looking for a simple yet festive centerpiece this holiday season? Look no further, this DIY for copper wire fairy lights is so simple, you’ve got this! I actually made this plant in a house (it’s a green house!) centerpiece for my son’s bar mitzvah, and made about 20 of them in no time……the biggest time investment was trying to get all those metal frame houses back home. For the bar mitzvah I bought a bunch of flowering plants and placed them in white ceramic pots that I had on hand from the last bar mitzvah, and the results were gorgeous. Whether or not you…

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…

DIY Logo Cupcake Sleeve
If you are making cupcakes, why not make some DIY cupcake sleeves to honor your special occasion or that special someone? Cupcake sleeves basically cover the cupcake paper and make them look really fantastic, even if your icing isn’t all that great. And best of all you can customize your cupcake sleeves to your occasion, which I did here for my son’s bar mitzvah. Or once you get the hang of making cupcake sleeves, you can always make some using that great paper you happen to have on hand, sky is the limit! Okay, let’s get started!

DIY Logo Cupcake Toppers For Every Occasion
If you have been following my blog you may know that my son became Bar Mitzvah last week, and so of course part of the celebration included lots of baking (for my daughter) and lots of graphics and centerpieces for me. The theme for the Bar Mitzvah graphics was a hebrew letter logo that I designed using my son’s initials and the theme of the holiday of Shavuot which occurs just five days after my son’s birthday. For these cupcake toppers I simply removed the central symbol and replaced it with the number 13, since that is the age we are celebrating! If you would like a custome hebrew letter…
