Craft Scraps Party Plates That Kids Can Make Too!
Purim sameach, wishing you all a very joyful and meaningful Purim holiday! Today was a day filled with crafting by mom and three kids, in preparation for Purim and all the elements required to really celebrate this very festive and very action packed holiday. My ten year old is still working on his 20 milk carton characters which he is filling with treats for friends, and my 12 year old son mades these oh so sweet decorated party plates using bits of craft foam. Decorating plates with little scraps is so much fun, and perfect for kids who may not be so inclined to sit for hours making little milk…

Piece Of Cake Pinata Style Gift Box
Okay my friends, when it comes to creating a knock your socks off kind of gift box, this one really is a piece of cake! Pinata style party decorations using crepe paper are all the rage, and so this idea, namely an upcycled box covered pinata style in crepe paper strips to resemble a piece of cake, is right on target. And best of all, if your box is on the small side like mine, it really doesn't take a huge chunk of time, phew! So next time a nice little box comes your way, save and turn it into the funnest gift box or party favor box ever! I…

Piece Of Cake Pinata Costume!
A piece of cake pinata style costume is cuter than can be, and today my daughter wore her mommy-made extravaganza to school for their Purim costume party. Yes, a cake pinata this size is lots of work, but the results are so adorable that I have no regrets. There are so many ways to go with this costume, and admittedly she could have worn a birthday hat or something on her head, but in the end the twisted braided hair style (that my daughter did herself!) and lots of makeup made the costume complete. Want to make something like this yourself? I'll be happy to show you how, lets get…

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…

Packing Peanuts And Cardboard Stars Craft
When I received a box filled with packing peanuts I immediately started thinking about how I'd use them for a craft project, and the first thing that came to mind was packing peanut stars. Of course, I actually thought I'd make the entire star out of packing peanuts, but with no real plan in mind, these fun stars are what actually came to be! The stars are quite large (the cardboard circle in the middle is from a family sized frozen pizza package) and fortunately turned out to be pefect decorations for the stage of our community Purim party this week. My only regret is that I only had time…

Milk Carton Flower Pot Craft
Crafting with recycled milk cartons is so much fun, so after we made a bunny and bear milk carton characters desk organizer, we just couldn't stop, and thus the cutest little milk carton frog was born, to join the others. Milk carton frogs could be great for Purim, for Passover, and of course for birthday parties of all kinds. A princess birthday party with milk carton frog party favors would be so adorable, and of course you could add a little crown somewhere, maybe attached to the back panel, you'll have to see what works. I love the idea of using these milk carton characters to make flower pots, either…
