Quick Recycled Cardboard Envelope For Your Handmade Card
After I whipped up my handmade new baby card, using some of the simple botanical sketches I’ve been practicing in my sketchbook, I realized that I really needed an envelope, especially since I didn’t have a gift that was the right size to go along with the card….hmmm. A quick search in my studio, and no envelopes to be found (though while I’m typing this I now remember where I may have put some during Passover cleaning) so I realized that I simply needed to create my own envelope that could also serve as protection for the sweet card during its travels to the recipients. So, introducing my 5 minute…

DIY Stand-Up Cardboard Polar Bear Centerpiece
Looking for a fun winter-themed centerpiece to whip up for an upcoming birthday party or winter themed celebration? Give this DIY cardboard stand-up polar bear a try, and you’ll put smiles on every face! Of course, you can make this polar bear any size that suits your table, but if you go big, well that certainly fills more space and makes more of a statement— more bang for the buck if you will! While you can certainly make a whole family of polar bears in different sizes, which could be just adorable, you can also choose to make some cardboard huskies, which is also super adorable and a great contrast…

DIY Stand-Up Cardboard Huskies For Your Winter Table
At long last I have finally found the time to share with you one of the favorite crafts I made for our family Chanukah birthday party: stand-up cardboard huskies, courtesy of Mr. Printables! And at the birthday party when the huskies made their debut, they were actually pulling the birthday cake! Yes, that birthday cake with the sparkly red flags that I shared a while back. (Note to self and everyone else: try to have everything ready the day before, even the cake, so you’ll have time to photograph it all nicely!) Now it is too late to photograph the huskies pulling the cake and I do have a photo…

Mini Cardboard T-Shirt Memory Game Is Perfect For Your Family Get Together!
Making mini cardboard t-shirts is so much fun, I realized that if one makes say 24, 36, or 48 or any even number for that matter, you can easily whip up your own custom memory game! And making a memory game for a special occasion, especially if there will be kids (or grown ups who like to play games) on hand is such a fun way to make the get together even more fun and memorable. If you really want to go all out, you could even make custom memory games as party favors! (Or possibly just make one set? I was thinking this would also make a great gift…

DIY mini cardboard t-shirts are just the cutest for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, graduation, baby showers, casual weddings, and to welcome guests or just because! Simply make some mini cardboard t-shirts, decorate them with the message or graphics that works for your party, and voila, you can hang them on a string with mini clothespins, attach them to skewers for cake decorations, add a ribbon to make gift tags, or even use them to make fun napkin rings!

Splitting Of The Red Sea Diorama— A Reader’s Version!
One of the greatest pleasures of blogging is when readers actually use my instructions to make their own version of a project I’ve presented. So it is with very great pleasure that i present to you this fantastic version, submitted by Ilana Singer of Strasbourg, France, of my splitting of the Red Sea diorama, the original post can be seen here. While my original version is much simpler than this one, keep in mind that I made mine a whole nine years ago (gasp!) I love the idea of painting the cardboard waves and then adding cut paper shapes, as opposed to my tissue paper decoupage, and the Playmobil figures…
