Simple Origami Jumping Frogs Are The Perfect Passover Craft
With the Jewish holiday of Passover arriving on Wednesday night, ready or not, now might be the time to spend just a few minutes making a cute craft to grace your Passover seder table? I’ll admit, despite high hopes of having time for a few simple crafts myself that wouldn’t be realistic right now as while my kitchen (the most important part) is kosher for Passover and I can start cooking, there are other areas in the house that need attention, not to mention the container garden (I got the boys and husband to mostly do that yesterday, phew) and ugh, my office/studio, which is always the big ugly monster…

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…

Bird Themed Paper Decorations For A Play, A Party Or Just Because!
The Jewish holiday of Purim starts tonight for most of the world, while in Jerusalem it starts on Tuesday night. Most of us are likely too busy with preparing food and gifts for the holiday, but the folks in Jerusalem might still have time to decorate an entire wall with a fun bird themed installation? I actually still need to figure out how to hang the origami birds in my own home, having created these decorations for a community party last week, and gotta do it before we set up the long banquet table for our 32 (invited, many will drop by) guests! So dear friends, I am rushing to…

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…

Super Quick Paper Lanterns That Can Light Up!
This year my Purim decorations are all about the quick factor, as with the festive holiday just around the corner, in addition to many guests and food prep, quick is all there is really time for. Ah yes, and the truth is that the decorations I will hang in my house were mostly made for our community Purim party which already took place, so that is a huge help at this point. So where does the need for quick come into play? Well, for that Purim party on Sunday night I had only Saturday night to make the decorations and about 1 1/2 hours to hang them, just before the…

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…
