Gift bags made from envelopes The event for which I needed that non-Satanic craft was this past weekend. In addition to little demon-free booklets, we also made these mini gift bags. "Baglets," as one participant christened them. (Or maybe you'd spell it "Baglette"? Looks more elegant than spelling it like "piglet." Find an envelope of any size. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. All done. Update: Try this envelope gift bag project with decorative masking tape.
Starstruck at Christmas « Kate's Creative Space Regular followers will know of my obsession with all things paper, and with projects which take very little time or specialist skill. As Christmas draws ever closer, I’ve been experimenting with different types of festive stars and bring you some simple projects to try today. My usual reassuring criteria apply; these had to be things I could a) get right the first time – or very occasionally the second; b) could do in front of the TV, merlot in hand, and c) look far more elegant and skilled than the actual labour would suggest. Below you’ll find my instructions on how to make each of these stars; the classic 5-point Amish barn stars, 6-point folding stars and concertina or snowflake stars, which look beautiful hung in windows. Five-point stars are in some ways the most striking and simple stars; reminiscent of Amish barn stars and New England folk decorations, they are the kind of stars that children draw in their first pictures. They make gorgeous gift-toppers too…. Finally, fold!
Little Things Bring Smiles: *Rustic Snowflakes* Our snow day has sadly come to an end. The sun has settled and the only place to be now is inside.

Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.

Window Star tutorial 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.) 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. Then fold it in half and crease well. Then fold the pieces each in half crosswise and cut. Next, open them out so you have a rectangle with a crease running down the center. See my not-quite tidy edge? Now on one end only, fold in the sides to meet at the middle. 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. Continue gluing and laying out the pieces... That's it!

Here's another photo from higher up on my stairs. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Tuto cocotte en papier Bon, pour être franche, les cocottes en papier et moi ce n’est pas vraiment la bonne entente, je m’y suis attelé plusieurs fois, et à chaque fois le verdict est le même : oiseau écrasé et non jolie cocotte en papier, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire! Mais après vos réactions suite à cet article, il était temps de m’y mettre une bonne fois pour toutes… Alors attention les yeux, voici un petit tuto cocotte en papier à imprimer! Il vous suffit de cliquer sur l’image, de l’enregistrer sous et de l’imprimer. Et si, si je vous assure, quand on a le coup de main, c’est presque easy! 1* via SMP, 2* Mariages et babillages
Christmas CD's Don't forget my Pampered Chef and Heritage Makers Black Friday Sales. Sales are good ALL DAY LONG!!! This project was so much fun. I had 14 cds left. My daughter is helping me trace. After tracing, you simply cut out. I inked the edges with a dark red to match the paper and then modge podged my paper onto the cds. Now for the next step, there are several ways you can do this. After putting on the first three letters, I decided I wanted to sand the letters, so I peeled them off and sanded. I had the perfect thing to hang my "CHRISTMAS" letters on. I will be linking to
Origami desde Lerma: Un par de dragones Supongo que para este momento todos están informados de mi falta de inspiración reciente, dadas mis INTERMINABLES entradas sobre lo mal que he estado trabajando últimamente. Así que si quieres ir directo a la entrada, sáltate este párrafo completo, que no hago más que pobretearme sobre como me ha costado tantísimo trabajo recuperar un diminuto porcentaje de mi antigua capacidad de plegado y diseño, todo por culpa de todo el trabajo escolar en el que he estado enfrascado últimamente, y por cuya culpa he perdido hasta el gusto por doblar. Ehjem, ya acabé. Volviendo al tema de nuestra incumbencia, mientras no tenía nada que diseñar se me ocurrió la posibilidad de adaptar la base de mi dragón a todos los tipos de dragón que apruebo. Por si alguien no recuerda mi maravilloso dragón occidental, he aquí el vínculo a la entrada que escribí para él. En fin, preséntoles las últimas dos adiciones a mi catálogo de modelos reproducibles indefinidamente. Wyvern Ahora les seré sinceros. Oriental
Fold a fir tree Dangling fir trees – light for hanging, and impressive when you look at them. You need a square base folded by the middle and the diagonals (see how on the picture). The difficult part is at the beginning, steps (1) and (4), (5) and (6), where the folded part has to be opened and folded inside. This is repeated three more times. When you are ready with the one side, turn the form and repeat the steps again. Cut the lower part with scissors. Make 5 symmetrical cuts at the two sides and start folding one after another, and your fir tree is ready.
