Paper Leaves On Real Branches Looks Amazing!
I came up with this simple idea six years ago for my son’s birthday just before Shavuot, and I still love it, so I’m dusting it off to share with you as a fabulous last minute craft that includes a nature walk to collect the sticks! Enjoy. Here is what I wrote back then, this year Shavuot is on Sunday night. Paper leaves on real branches is a super quick craft that results in some fun decorations that can be used for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot or really anytime! I actually made these branches as part of the giraffe birthday party that I’m still in the middle of sharing…

Simple Watercolor Leaves To Paint For Shavuot!
As you know, I love to create with a wide variety of media, and recently I’ve been devoting just a tiny pocket of time to filling my watercolor paper art journal with simple watercolor paintings. Check out my watercolor carrots, watercolor feathers and watercolor ferns. It is true, I’m loving the watercolor exploration as it is a relief from the intense oil pastel paintings I’ve been doing, though to create the kind of art I love with watercolors I’d need to combine them with acryla gouache and also get some liquid watercolors with intense colors, ah yes and huge pieces of watercolor paper! That said, my little travel watercolor palette…

Quick Mount Sinai Kid’s Craft For Shavuos
I am busy working on my art, specifically a #make100oilpastels journey with 43 more to go, so the crafting for Shavuos may or may not happen…..in any case I still have all the wonderful cereal box cardboard vases filled with flowers from Passover. Of course I will likely at the last minute cut up a bunch of painted leaves to hang from the chandelier or decorate the table, but that won’t happen until just before the holiday. With no little kids underfoot the need to build excitement for the holiday isn’t exactly necessary so, that said, I’ve dusted this sweet project off to share once again, get to it! Shavuos…

DIY Cardboard Graffiti Vase For Spring!
Now that I have a few fun DIY cereal box vases which I think will be fun for Passover, maybe I can get started with the cleaning. Well, not just yet, I need to make some more! The idea of whipping up an artful vase using cereal box cardboard (or heavy weight paper) is just so delighful that you'll want to give this a try. This is a great idea for budget centerpieces, or for making a huge decorative vase for a desert table or buffet, and the possibilities are endless. Choose to do a cardboard vase with drips and splatters or go for a something simple and colorful, or…

An Abstract Floral Painting On A Recycled Box
Since I shared with you some artful painted gift boxes made from upcycled boxes of all kinds, that have been adding cheer to our home this Chanukah, I just had to include this painted floral gift box that I actually made quite a few months ago. It is not part of the holiday decor, but may just see the light come Spring. That does not mean however that you should not paint flowers in bright colors on gift boxes NOW, as it is a great way to practice painting, a great way to paint without too much pressure, and a great way to force yourself to paint quickly and loosely.…
