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…

DIY Paper Plant: Flowering Bromeliad
A DIY paper plant can be the perfect solution if you need an inexpensive and festive party centerpiece (especially if you need a bunch) and best of all they can be made in any size that works for you. Not all the paper plants that i've seen in blogland have been quick to make, so I've come up with one that truly is…..ta da, introducing the paper flowering bromeliad. And I have to say, I haven't seen any flowering paper plants, with the exception of a cactus, so I'm happy to present you with an idea that is quick, budget friendly and can be made to suit your color scheme!…

Giant Origami Clowns
Giant origami clowns are really quite simple to make and make amazing party decorations, not to mention that they make perfect Purim decorations! I used squares of wrapping paper to make origami clowns that are about 70 cm tall, and just a few of these clowns are enough to add a fun touch to any wall. Add some packing peanuts as buttons and collar, and some patterned paper for shoes, a pom pom and hat trim, and the results are simple adorable! The origami clown is folded initially just like an origami crane (hmmm, I need to try making those from wrapping paper too!) so lets get started! (And in…

Modular Origami Stars
We have been making lots of origami lately, the origami hearts wall hanging, and the origami pull out drawers, for example, and now I'd like to introduce you to another kind or origami altogether, modular origami.Modular or 3D origami is made from lots of little double pointed pieces that fit into one another, and some really truly amazing things have been made with this technique, by people from around the world, with a concentration in Russia, so it appears to me from my research. Here is Israel, I have seen modular origami swans next to the bank teller and in the post office for years, but I never really…

How To Fold An Origami Module For Swans, Peacocks And More
Ever seen complicated modular origami swans, peacocks and baskets? If you've ever wondered how these things were made, well, here is the basic module that one needs to fold in order to make such things. I personally don't know if I'm up for folding 1,000 or so modules to make the large birds, but I have begun to explore making smaller decorative items that are more suited to my personal aesthetic, like these origami modular stars. Okay, I'll admit, I've seen a peacock that has caught my attention, but with all the other craft projects on my must-try list, I may just have to leave that up to someone else!…

Origami Pull Out Drawers Make Sweet Gift Boxes!
As I mentioned in my last post, origami hearts wall hanging, we have been enjoying exploring some simple and fairly simple origami techniques on the cold winter evenings of late, and last week we learned how to make these sweet origami stacking drawers. These origami drawers can be used as little gift boxes, or storage boxes for small precious items. It is true that this project does require precision, and you can see that even those made by me here are not perfect (mainly because I used card stock and not origami paper) so I'd recommend this for kids ages 10 and above. And truthfully regardless of the outcome, just…
