Little Ladders Party Decor (Or Fun Sculptural Installation!)
My son's bar mitzvah last night was thankfullly a smashing success, and now I can hopefully find some time here and there to share with you some of the crafty details. And yes, there were many which represented hours and hours of work but I have no regrets, only that I didn't have time to do more! The best news of all is that most of the things I made for the bar mitzvah can now be used in the succah, which couldn't be better timing as the holiday of Succot starts on Sunday night! And with Yom Kippur tomorrow night, well, time is certainly on the tight side. Okay,…

Tiered Birthday (Or Wedding) Cake Gift Box
My tiered birthday or wedding cake gift box actually happened a few months ago when I was cleaning for Passover and trying to get rid of stuff. Of course round cardboard boxes aren't something one should throw out, but as they hadn't been put to use for years I kept eyething them for a possible project. And then, yippee, this cake box using packing peanuts as frosting came to mind, and it was made really in a matter of minutes. I think it took longer to actually heat up the glue gun than to put the pieces together, which was fortunate as there really wasn't any free time for crafting…

Five Minute Simple And Cute Cake Topper
This adorable five minute cake topper really will only take you five minutes, especially if you have all the simple supplies on hand, and you most likely do! Okay, it is true, you may wish to invest more time in a cake for a loved one's birthday, understandable, but on the other hand, sometimes you need some quick tricks, and sometimes simple is truly the best! Invest time in decorations that won't be eaten if you have the time, and keep the cake fairly simple, that is my advice! I've even had people arrive at my house as guests and then declare that it is their birthday, in which case…

Paper Giraffes Birthday Photo Wall
As one of the elements in the giraffe themed birthday party I threw for my son last week, the giraffe paper dolls photo wall was so simple to make and with great results. If I had known that I was going to tape those giraffes to the wall I would have made more, but fortunately there were just enough to pull off my little last minute idea! While of course the giraffes, and one little elephant worked for our party, traditional paper dolls or any thing that works in silhouette form would be perfect, and a quick way to add decorative touches in keeping with your theme. This craft is…

Paper Leaves On Real Branches For Shavuot Or Any Time!
Paper leaves on real branches is a super quick craft that results in some fun decorations that can be used for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot or really anytime! I actually made these branches as part of the giraffe birthday party that I'm still in the middle of sharing with you all, though I did have in mind that they would be also be great for Shavuot, in which we decorate our homes with greenery to celebrate the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, which was very green and lush. With shavuot staring Saturday night, right after shabbat ends, many of us are now preparing for two days of…

Giraffe Birthday Cake In A Pinch That Is Simple And Adorable!
Need an idea for a quick birthday cake that looks great and will even prompt some wows? Then maybe my golden giraffe topped birthday cake with dancing paper elephants and washi tape flags is perfect for you! This giraffe cake which was for the giraffe themed birthday party I made for my eleven year old is also perfect for people like me who really don't have the time or patience to figure out how to make a perfect tall cake, as those elephants hide all the imperfections! And of course, in my opinion, since the cake is going to get eaten anyway, don't stress, just cover the mistakes, and maybe…
