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…

A DIY Paper Plant That Is Simply Lovely: Agave!
Paper plants are all the rage, and understandably so as they are so simple to make and look amazing. Not to mention great for those who don't have time to take care of the real thing! i happen to have a virtual jungle both indoors and out, but I still appreciate the paper plant idea for its whimsy. There are a lot of folk out there making paper cactuses, but I think I'm the first to make a paper agave. Though many (mostly Australians, where agaves grow in droves) have success growing them in water indoors, the agave is really an outdoor plant, so a paper one certainly is a…

Cereal Box Magazine Holders DIY
I've been wanting to make some recycled cereal box magazine holders for years, and at long last I found a little window of time to give it a try. And I have to say, I just love the results, and this is the perfect way to freshen up your desk area or bookcase, and to use up some pieces of wrapping paper, wall paper, contact paper or even fabric that you just love and don't know how to use! Once you get the hang of it, this DIY is so simple the only thing you'll be lacking is enough cereal boxes! So let's get crafting:

Popsicle Stick Playground Craft For Kids
If you are looking for a fun craft to help kids build creativity, look no further! Creating a little park or playground using popsicle sticks and recycled cardboard tubes (for starters) is so much fun, and afterwards the kids can actually use their creation as a playscape for Playmobil people or any another little dolls or animals. In the past we have made a miniature swingset from recyclables, as well as a mini playground craft using skewers, though this popsicle stick playground was actually made by my ten year old son in school with a group of boys as part of a larger project. I am so proud of him!…

Mosaic Stone Fridge Magnets Craft For Kids
After we finished making our mosaic star of david plaque, there were of course some leftover tiles, and being the resourceful crafter that I am, i came up with this cute little mini mosaic craft for kids and adults, and they even double as magnets! This was such a fun project I am even thinking about going out buying some more of these kid friendly mosaic tiles that one can actually cut with scissors, even though of course I have boxes of broken pottery waiting for a serious mosaic project some day…….sigh. And the other great thing about this project it that it is great for those who wouldn't or…
