DIY: Alternative Christmas Trees. Make a basket out of plastic bags. Paper flower tutorial. I thought some of you would enjoy a quick tutorial on how to make those little paper flowers I used as part of my table setting a couple weeks ago.
The credit for these go to Martha Stewart (I saw this idea nearly 10 years ago in her magazine, but haven't been able to find it on her website). So here I go.. Step 1: Draw a spiral on a 4x4" square sheet of paper Step 2: Cut out spiral along lines you have drawn Step 3: Begin rolling up the spiral from the outside Step 4: Keep on rolling until there's no more left to roll Step 5: You're done! I used a slightly heavier weight paper for this one, but you can use normal paper as well.
Note: You may use a bit of glue or double-stick tape to keep the flower from unrolling and loosening up with time. Appliqués muraux à faire soi-même. Bricolages pour journées pluvieuses. Activités et bricolages pour enfants. 25 DIY Handmade Gift Tutorials Part 2. I love handmade gifts!

Creativity Prompt #22 – The “One-Sheet” Mini Album. October 24th, 2008 by Avital This week’s Creativity Prompt is to make a cute mini album, or journal - what ever you wish to use that for - using a single sheet of cardstock and a couple of chipboard squares (or recycled cardboard…).
For a special touch I covered the chipboard squares with fabric, and it turned out fabulous Supply - Instruction - Score the cardstock at: 3″, 6″ & 9″ (every 3″). If you happen to cut the cardstock in the wrong direction (e.g. cutting from top to bottom consecutively) don’t worry. Fold each score line in an accordion fold (once up and once down) until you are left with a 3″ by 3″ booklet. Enjoy!!!
