Ever tried paper weaving? If not, here’s your chance to learn! This beautiful, Moravian (German) Star is great for home decor, especially during Christmastime (and throughout the year, too!).

Here’s a quick video on how to cut a perfect star from a square sheet of paper. If you’ve been drawing it out [crookedly] and making multiple cuts, then you’re doing it wrong, hehe. 😀 This can also be done with fabrics, and is perfect for scrapbooks, quilts/textiles, and making the American Flag, haha.
Quick, easy craft to showcase candies, cookies, and jewelry. Larger paper = larger heart. 🙂 Creator: H.Vass Ildikó (with permission) HINT: Use felt for longer-lasting/sturdier results. 🙂

I thought it would be cool to have the elephant balance a penny. 🙂 This one is a lot of fun! Tape it to a card for a unique, monetary gift! HINT: You can shape the trunk how ever way you want (pointing up, down, inwards, outwards), as long as the elephant stays balanced. I…
Thought I would try something new. DIY soap makes a great/affordable gift! I used pink powdered colorant, citrus/vanilla/herbal scents, and apricot seeds as exfoliate, to spice up these soaps! 🙂 Everything came from an ArtMinds Kit. Tips: Use candy mold to make mini-soaps! Wrap in festive wrapping paper and decorate with a sticker/stamp for a…
