I’m not so good at maths and figuring out angles (my lovely Mum is a retired maths teacher so I should know better!). By the way this project is quite fiddly so more aimed at grown-ups or older kids.

My paper gems were very influenced by these wonderful crayons (via Deborah’s Pinterest board). You can use these paper gems as hanging decorations (for your Christmas tree) or you can incorporate them into a mobile or garland. I would love to make about a hundred and string them up in front of my window…however there is a limit to my patience!! If you spray them lightly on one side they look very pretty and a bit more crystal-like! If you love crystals and gems as much as I do then check out these cool projects: Home-made rock candyHome grown geodes Edited to add: Check out this great advent calendar idea using my paper gems. How-to 1. !!! !! How to make gift bags from newspaper. When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper.

I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold.

Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag. Canon CREATIVE PARK. DIY Cup Cake Liners.

With some trimming, folding, and cutting, we will transform this sheet into the eight pages, including the front and back cover, of a tiny book.

Be sure to download and print a free book from the Free For All exhibition! The first thing to do is to trim off the excess paper from the edges. Here's the first fold you should make, dividing the page in half. Unfold the sheet, and fold it in half along the other dimension. Unfold it again, and then fold the page into quarters. And here's the next. Unfold the sheet, and make a slice between the tops of the center four panels. Fold the sheet together, so that the two strips of panels are back to back. And then find the front and back cover, and crease the book into its final shape. Snowflake Cards. Origami Nut. How to Draw Graffiti Letters.

Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance. The art of quilling first became popular during the Renaissance, when nuns and monks would use it to roll gold-gilded paper and decorate religious objects, as an alternative to the expensive gold filigree. Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling.

Basically, the quilling process consists of cutting strips of paper, and rolling them with a special tool. It sounds simple enough, but special skill is required to create more advanced shapes like marquises, arrowheads or holly leaves. All through the years, the art of quilling has remained almost unchanged, but new specialty supplies now allow quilling masters to create anything from detailed 3-D figures to wall-sized museum installations.

A great doodle and all doodle drawings allow us to make art while daydreaming. S. I love a great doodle! Not only do I love doing them, I’m fascinated by other people’s too. Do you find yourself on the phone, pen in hand making random shapes and images on scraps of paper?

Do you find yourself making the same marks or symbols? Well, that’s doodling and that makes you a doodler! To me this is proof that there’s an artist inside all of us. Making doodle drawings on purpose is also fun. Let’s say you’re blocked creatively speaking. Whether you’re a writer, artist, musician or photographer, making doodles can be a great way to get those creative juices flowing again. The simple act of putting pen to paper making random marks while you drift around in your head space can become a great source of inspiration.

It’s also a great way to relax. I don’t know about you, but that sounds therapeutic to me! Ah yes, what is art after all? Some doodles turn out quite beautifully. These random symbols and marks can evolve into intricate patterns and designs. But then again, who cares? How To Make Paper Roses. What Origami Can Be! Origami Nut. Magic wallet.

I made some Waldorf-style window stars to decorate our big living room windows. I like to put them up in the winter, to liven up the wintry view. They are a bit fiddly, but satisfying to crank out, not unlike cut paper snowflakes.

The best paper to use is square kite paper (ETA- it's 6 1/4" square.) I bought mine at a Waldorf school store, but you could get some from Nova Natural. Actually, my son Julian, who is 7, made the green one, I was pleasently suprised he stuck with all the steps! Use the white paper as a work surface, it's easier to see what you are doing.

So after you've done that with all eight pieces, you will have this: Now put a small glob of glue on the corner of your white paper. That's it! No-Carve Stamps. By Jeromina Juan Ever wonder about the possibilities of designing your own stamps without having to carve anything?

There is a simple way! You’ll need one ordinary household object – silicone caulking. Yes, the one you use on your bathtub, sinks, and windows! With no carving to do at all, this task cannot be simpler. And the result? Clear stamps just like ones you buy at the craft stores, but made in any design and pattern you want, in any size.

Materials 1/8″-thick acrylic plexiglass; can be found at hardware storesX-Acto knife Metal ruler Silicone rubber caulking (clear); can be found at hardware storesWater-based paint BrayerNote: You can cut plexiglass to size by scoring a straight line several times using an X-Acto knife and metal ruler, and then placing the plexiglass on a table with the score line over the edge and snapping it in one quick motion. Directions Step 1: Sketch your designs on paper. Step 3: Let the caulking cure for 24 hours, and then your stamp is ready. Related. Moneywallet.org.
