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…

Simple DIY Anniversary Cake That Is Great For Engagement Parties Or Newlyweds Too!
It is always a great idea to have a really simple decorated cake idea up your sleeve to whip out when needed, right? And these sparkly cake flags have been a winner lately, having appeared at two birthdays, and now they have made an appearance to honor a newly married couple who joined us for a shabbat meal last week. I took the photos before shabbat, which meant that I was running late, (as time is precious before sundown on short winter Fridays) but it was worth it, as showing the cake flags on the cake surely beats previous photos of just the flags. While I made this cake for…

A Gorgeous And Rustic Bamboo Chuppah For An Israeli Wedding
The Jewish wedding ceremony is held under a chuppah, and while once chuppahs consisted of four wooden poles with a Tallis or embroidered velvet roof piece, today many prefer a free standing chuppah. I attended a friend’s wedding just a week before Rosh HaShana, and was completely in awe of the gorgeous rustic yet elegant bamboo chuppah adorned with lovely floral arrangements. Truly stunning and wonderful inspiration for a chuppah or even for an outdoor event of some kind, or maybe even a succah? The color of the fabric was perfect and the floral arrangements truly complemented the look. And since this was a chuppah with a mountain view, well…

Accordian Folded Paper Leaves
With Rosh HaShana now under our belts, it is time to think about Succah decorations, and this year I think I’m going to make a large number of accordion folded paper leaves for some artful vines to cover the Succah walls. Well that is one of my plans at the moment, but don’t hold your breath as that could change between now and the time that I actually start the heavy duty crafting! Nonetheless, these golden leaves are simple to make, and can be made any size you desire (meaning large, folks!) and have a very sculptural modern look to them. I’m dreaming of lots of vines running up the…

Giant And Elegant Origami Apples Are Perfect For Any Fall Occasion
Origami apples are so simple to make and are the perfect craft to whip up right now! Fill a basket with them to use as a centerpiece, use them as place cards, hang them mobile style or make a bunch and scatter them around the house. (Or save this idea and gift a whole basket full to your teacher!) The best part is they look great everywhere and any where, and would make cute little Rosh HaShana gifts as well. Attach a tag that is a card and you’ll surely warm the hearts of all your recipients! I used these very apples as apple centerpieces for a Rosh Chodesh party,…
