Giant DIY Accordian Fold Paper Flowers
If you ever need some great looking paper wall decorations, and you are just not sure what to make, give this giant accordian fold flower a try, and you’ll want to make enough to fill the entire wall. It is true, one can buy manufactured accordian fold flowers that are similar, but there is nothing quite like the look of something handmade, right? Plus you’ll be able to customize yours in so many ways depending on the paper you choose! And if you really want to get creative, how about taping together a bunch of magazine or catalog pages and using those? Or even paint or stamp patterns onto your…

How To Cut Simple Floral Shapes From Paper To Make A Party Garland In MInutes!
While I don’t love creating under pressure, it is true that some of my best work has come to light in just that way. I now introduce to you a new idea on the roster that we’ll call Matisse inspired cut paper shapes party garland! You can whip this paper party garland up in mere minutes, assuming you’ve got scissors and the right paper on hand! Picture this: with the party guests arriving in less than fiveteen minutes I still had an empty stretch of string running between two columns and in the center of the room. Yikes! This was exactly the scene on Sunday night just before our community…

Simple DIY Crepe Paper Flowers To Make Now!
I was just thinking that I should make some tissue paper flowers like those that used to grace our Purim table years ago, but it turns out so much time has passed that I actually just realized that the most successful flowers were made from crepe paper! Yes, tissue paper is wonderful too, and I have used it numerous times for flowers, but there is something about the crepe paper and its texture that just makes the whole project that much lovelier. I mean really, look at the photo, who isn’t running to the store to buy some basic crepe paper? Confession: this photo was taken 9 (gasp) years ago,…

Crocheted Flowers Garland For Spring
Somehow I wrote this post last year on Tu B’shevat but in the end did not post is, possibly because I was not happy with the photos? A year later, yes, the photos do not do justice to the project, which looks so much better in person, but as I’m too busy right now to photograph the crafts I have been making, crocheted t-shirt yarn flowers it is. Hmmm, wonder where those flower are now, they would look great hanging with all the white pom poms now hanging from that light! So here is the post I wrote last year: It is still the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat in…

Wishing You Wonderful Shavuot!
Dear Readers, wishing you all a wonderful and meaningful holiday of Shavuot! Just in time for the holiday in which we decorate our homes and synagogues with greenery and flowers, my container garden has come alive, and I took a few minutes to photograph my dwarf bougainvillea in bloom to share with you! A close look reveals that bougainvillea actually have tiny white flowers within the colorful magenta (or orange, white, or reddish) petals, reminding us that like the Torah, true beauty comes from within, and just as we received the Torah on a small humble mountain, Mt. Sinai, so too truth can be found in the most humble places!…

Simple Watercolor Ferns For Shavuot!
I shared these watercolor fern paintings with you last year for the Jewish holiday of Tu B”Shevat, though i just had to share them again as they are so simple and perfect for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, coming up this Saturday night. We fill our homes with greenery for Shavuot, which means flowers, plants, and often the kids go out into the fields and collect anything that seems appropriate. This year the holiday of Shavuot is back to back with Shabbat, meaning we will have to decorate the house on Friday afternoon, ruling out all that fresh greenery, and possibly even flowers, as they just won’t look all that…
