Creative Kismet » Blog Archive » little guiding stars Since the new year has started I’ve been trying to think of ways to be more kind to my self. Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and “you are….” phrases inside. I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. I used 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and cut 1/2 x 12″ strips, then followed the video HERE*.

Pinecone Firestarters with Colored Fire Anybody can throw some dried pinecones in a wicker basket and call it the Christmas season, but some people like to give this staid decorating tactic a kick in the pants. The winter was over before I got around to trying these pinecones, but I’m hoping I’ll get the pinecone urge next winter and will have some pictures then.

(scroll down to learn more about my design finds!) Um. I have this overwhelming addiction right now: DIY Bracelets. Six paper flowers It got into my head that I needed to make some paper flowers. I don’t know why. But I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal because the Internet is a veritable smörgåsbord of craft tutorials, and all I had to do was fire up Lappy 5000 and pick one out.

There were just too many choices and although I could compare the photos, they didn’t reflect (1) how good each tutorial was, (2) how closely my flower would resemble the picture, or (3) which flowers would look nice together.
