Whimsical Bear Portraits Make Perfect Party Decor!
As you may realize, I have been delving into drawing and painting and sketchbooking and art journaling more than actual crafts this past year, but that does not mean that our house is suddenly lacking festive decorations, infact just the opposite. Because dear friends, brightly colored or whimsical paintings, whether on paper or in my case milk cartons and boxes make really wonderful party decor, come on by and take a look! These fun bear portraits are now part of my kitchen gallery shelves display, and I even taped a few to boxes so they can stand up. They would make amazing gift tags (they work up quickly, and the…

Simple Painted Treat Boxes From The Recycling Bin!
We are about to apparently welcome some snow so I’ll make this quick as I need to go cover my succulents and bring others indoors! I have quite a collection of little food and medicine boxes that I hope to use someday for a big installation of some kind, not to mention match boxes, but in the mean time, there is nothing quite as sweet as little painted treat boxes. (Or just make some artufl painted matchboxes for shabbat, a fun gift!) Purim is a great time to get creative with fun and artful packaging, so why not gather as many boxes as you can find, get out the paint…

Best Of Recycled Gift Packages For Purim, From The Archives
With Purim coming up on the evening of February 25(Feb. 27th for those in Jerusalem) now is truly the time to start preparing for the holiday, right? I don’t have any costumes to make this year, (as of right now) which means more time to think about everything else, meaning the gifts of food we give to a gazillion people (in my case really just about 15 neighbors and some important folks), the decorations for the house and the Purim meal for a crowd. In most families the kids give mishloach manot to their friends as well, which is where this post might come truly in handy. Start collecting…

Doodle Fish Gift Tags
Okay dear readers, it is time to face the facts, the Jewish holiday of Purim is coming up in exactly two weeks, so now is the time to get started with the preparations! This year I think I’ll start with the thing that I generally run out of time for at the end, gift tags! Yes indeed, start with the seemingly simplest thing, and believe me you will not regret it. In the flurry of preparing the mishloach manot (gifts of food), whether you do it on Purim or a few days ahead of time, (more likely this year as Purim is on Friday!) having adorable gift tags on hand…

Milk Carton Houses With Graffiti Hearts!
I really can’t count the times I’ve planned to make milk carton houses, nor how many milk cartons I have packed away in the basement for those dream projects, but I can report to have taken one tiny step forward with these milk carton heart graffiti wall houses! I realize it sounds like I’ve never made milk carton houses, silly me, I certainly have, twice, milk carton house planter, and doodled millk carton houses. I’ve been all about hearts lately, and while the hearts I’ve been painting haven’t exactly been graffiti hearts, lets just pretend they are, and certainly when painted on a milk carton house they can be! And…

Summer Camp Crafts: A Graffiti Logo Sweatshirt With Splashes Of Color
I am so grateful that my teen daughter loves crafting, as with no school for months now due to Covid-19, she has had lots of time to delve into creative activities that she loves, the latest being grafitti sweatshirts! Her friends are begging her to make some for them, and while I was just thinking she could do a class, maybe just buying an airbrush and semi-mass producing them would be a better idea? Just to be clear, my daughter isn’t wearing this sweatshirt out and about, but she certainly has fun wearing it as pajamas! The graffit sweatshirt idea all started with a Purim costume which led to a…
