Royal Icing Doughnut Cookies Are Perfect For Beginners
Aren’t these royal icing doughnut cookies just the cutest? I don’t have the time or inclination to devote to royal icing, but my fiveteen year old daughter does, so I’m enjoying watching her progress! These doughnut cookies were made to give as part of the mishloach manot for Purim, and looked especially cute presented in boxes with a window. We did think of making coffee cup cookies to go with the doughnuts, or take out coffee cups, but we ran out of time and I don’t really thing Israelis would get it in any case. So just doughnuts it was and everyone oohed and awed! If you are thinking about…

Royal Icing Clown Hat Cookies For Purim
Yes it is true dear readers, this year I have had to significantly lower the bar for my traditional Purim extravaganza as there just haven’t been enough hours in the day. And you know what, it really is okay, and our holiday will still be wonderful and festive on account of buying certain things we would normally make, or using decorations that we already have on hand. My daugher on the other hand did have time to continue with her royal icing cookie adventures, and for starters she made these adorable clown hat cookies which I have already wrapped up and will use as gift tags, if you can imagine…

DIY Castle Centerpiece Recycling Craft

Giant DIY Party Hats Centerpiece
Giant cardboard party hats are the perfect thing to make when you want to make a statement with festive decorations for a birthday party, or in our case the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, but you don’t have a huge amount of time to invest. Make them in a few sizes, and place them in the middle of the table as a fun centerpiece. Next time I think I’ll go with solid colors and huge white polka dots and a yarn or plastic bag pom pom on top. I’ll let you in on a little secret though, I have actually used these hats as Purim party decorations for our community…

Crocheted Beard Is A Perfect Addition To Your DIY Costume
Awww, isn’t he just the sweetest? Well four years have passed since I crocheted this beard for my youngest son, and I’m happy to report that the costume did rub off on him and he has become quite the tzaddik, working really hard to learn lots of extra Torah in preparation for his upcoming bar mitzvah, as well as entrance exams for his next school phase. The crocheted beard for this Mordechai HaTzaddik costume was a huge success! Not only did it complete his costume, it was comfortable to wear, and even kept him warm as the Purim party/barbeque we attended went into the night and temperatures dropped!
