Little Ladders Party Decor (Or Fun Sculptural Installation!)
My son's bar mitzvah last night was thankfullly a smashing success, and now I can hopefully find some time here and there to share with you some of the crafty details. And yes, there were many which represented hours and hours of work but I have no regrets, only that I didn't have time to do more! The best news of all is that most of the things I made for the bar mitzvah can now be used in the succah, which couldn't be better timing as the holiday of Succot starts on Sunday night! And with Yom Kippur tomorrow night, well, time is certainly on the tight side. Okay,…

Pineapple Embroidery On A Recycled Styrofoam Tray!
Okay dear readers, I have to admit that I just love my little pineapple embroidered on a recycled styrofoam tray, that actually held some precious passion fruit! Who can resist a tray that is this color and shape? Certainly not me, and with pineapples being all the rage at the moment, well this little project seems just perfect right about now! And best of all, you can whip it up quite quickly on account of the large stitches and easy to draw motif.

Styrofoam Tray Recycling Craft: Embroidered String Stars
I have been saving these little square styrofoam trays as I had a feeling that would be great for a fun recycled craft project! And the a few days ago the idea came to me, embroider them!

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…

Modular Origami Stars
We have been making lots of origami lately, the origami hearts wall hanging, and the origami pull out drawers, for example, and now I'd like to introduce you to another kind or origami altogether, modular origami.Modular or 3D origami is made from lots of little double pointed pieces that fit into one another, and some really truly amazing things have been made with this technique, by people from around the world, with a concentration in Russia, so it appears to me from my research. Here is Israel, I have seen modular origami swans next to the bank teller and in the post office for years, but I never really…
