A Gorgeous Candy Topped Engagement Cake
Want to make a really stunning cake that will surely bring oohs and aahs all around? The candy and cookies topped cake trend is just the thing, especially for folks like me who do not want to spend hours on a cake! And one could surely buy an iced cake, even a high cheese cake from the grocery store and simply decorate the top. “Simply” meaning assuming you have an assortment of really great looking candy and cookies, which, if we in our somewhat remote Northern Israel location can purchase at the store, you surely can! Before I continue, let me just say, I did not bake and decorate this…

DIY Origami Crane Mobile To Welcome Spring
After sharing with you my photos of cranes migrating over Northern Israel I realized that origami cranes are a perfect craft right now, so I’ve dusted off my origami crane mobile from 8 years ago to present to you once again! While most of the origami I’ve done lately has been giant origami to use as wall decor for Purim (giant origami clowns here, giant origami birds here), or table decor for a birthday party, (giant origami stand up giraffes, here) making origami cranes using actual origami paper is just so very satisfying, and the results are truly delightful. Add an extra dose of cuteness by including some pom poms…

Giant Origami Pheasant Party Decor Or Stage Set!
If you are creating a giant origami stage set, or perhaps a wall filled with origami party decorations, you may like this giant origami pheasant, with a crown, as he makes a great friend for the giant origami partridge or even the paper peacock! I grew up making origami as a child, and as a mother needing party decorations for my kids realized that origami could also work using the largest paper I could find, generally wrapping paper! And the creative part about origami is that you create an environment for your origami, or add pattern to the origami pieces themselves. Either way, give it a try, plus it is…

Giant DIY Accordian Fold Paper Flowers
If you ever need some great looking paper wall decorations, and you are just not sure what to make, give this giant accordian fold flower a try, and you’ll want to make enough to fill the entire wall. It is true, one can buy manufactured accordian fold flowers that are similar, but there is nothing quite like the look of something handmade, right? Plus you’ll be able to customize yours in so many ways depending on the paper you choose! And if you really want to get creative, how about taping together a bunch of magazine or catalog pages and using those? Or even paint or stamp patterns onto your…

How To Cut Simple Floral Shapes From Paper To Make A Party Garland In MInutes!
While I don’t love creating under pressure, it is true that some of my best work has come to light in just that way. I now introduce to you a new idea on the roster that we’ll call Matisse inspired cut paper shapes party garland! You can whip this paper party garland up in mere minutes, assuming you’ve got scissors and the right paper on hand! Picture this: with the party guests arriving in less than fiveteen minutes I still had an empty stretch of string running between two columns and in the center of the room. Yikes! This was exactly the scene on Sunday night just before our community…

Simple Giant Paper Peacock Party Decor
A big huge PHEW — my late night efforts to assemble some decorations for our women’s Purim party were mostly a success, and now I have a few things to share! While I had a colorful “gan eden” garden theme in mind, I actually only got as far as the birds for the garden, together with a few huge flowers. Fortunately that turned out to be enough as my original idea would have taken days to make and more time than I had to assemble, not to mention quite likely overkill. So first of all I’ll share with you my giant paper peacock, which is just as cute as can…
