A year later, yes, the photos do not do justice to the project, which looks so much better in person, but as I’m too busy right now to photograph the crafts I have been making, crocheted t-shirt yarn flowers it is. Hmmm, wonder where those flower are now, they would look great hanging with all the white pom poms now hanging from that light! So here is the post I wrote last year: It is still the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat in…

DIY birthday crowns are so simple to make, look amazing and truly make the birthday person feel extra special! In the past I made these crowns in five minutes, and they were cute but not exactly works of art.

Her husband…

Drinking Straw Starburst Ornament
Let’s recycle all those plastic straws that we may be using (if not recycling, use what you may have on hand or buy paper ones, please!) and make some wonderful and festive decorations! I’ll be using straws to make a whole bunch of Hanukkah ornaments for a wall hanging, but of course this idea could be used for decorations for so many occasions. Best of all the drinking straw ornaments I’ve made for this Hanukkah are two sided, so in the future I can use them to hang in a doorway or as a mobile. You can find the link to the tutorial for making the drinking straw dreidel ornaments…
