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,…

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…
