Cake postcard tutorial
Make a mailable slice of cake I have so many friends and family members that always say "I wish you could mail me a birthday cake!" ... well, now I can send them a slice.
It seems like we’re always in the need of more kids activities for restaurants and travel. Shortly after I made Paper City Paris , I wondered what a miniature version would look like. Finally, this week I had the time to try it out.

Valentine's Day: Heart-Shaped Crafts - Martha Stewart
To turn an African Violet into a pretty gift, snip its leaf into the shape of a heart. Using clean, sharp scissors, remove a leaf with 1 inch of stem from a plant, and shape the leaf. Fill a small pot with fresh potting soil, and poke a hole in the soil with a pencil. Insert 3/4 inch of stem, pack soil firmly around it, and water well. (While rooting, the leaf should be covered with a glass jar or a plastic bag and removed from bright light to keep it moist.) A new plantlet should emerge in 6 to 8 weeks.
It wasn’t so very long ago that I bought two cake pops at Starbucks, and each of them came in a fancy box. The boxes were sturdy and had amazing sliding action, so at the time I thought that I should keep them. I just knew they would come in handy, and sure enough, I made some recycled gift box ornaments out of them. These are perfect for those little tricks – you know, when the gifts are all opened but you still have something small to give. Tell them to pick up that ornament on the tree and look inside! Of course, the gift would have to be small, but there is more room than you think.

DIY Surprise Balls
I’ll never forget the first time I unraveled my first surprise ball. My smile only got bigger and bigger as a glorious pile of brightly colored paper started to form after more and more wonderfully trivial prizes were revealed. By the end, I was left wanting more.
Let's make this awesome little waterless snow globe shall we? It would make a sweet addition to your holiday decor! I found this little streetlamp miniature at the dollar store alongside some train tracks and accessories. I liked this one because it actually lights up! 1.

Handmade: Glitter Tape
I didn’t start out to write a DIY post. My glitter tape photoshoot was intended to be a glitter texture photoshoot for a future download. But, as it happens, I got sidetracked and I started playing around with the double-sided sticky tape on my desk. One thing led to another and here you go: do-it-yourself glitter tape — messy but fun. While I was making these, I was listening to Django Reinhardt’s version of Stardust Memories — one of my favorite songs. You should listen to the lyrics by Hoagy Carmichael one day.Try as I might, I cannot seem to grasp even the most basic of feminine beauty rituals. I’m constantly struggling to master rudimentary hair and makeup techniques, and my one-time foray into the “subtle” art of perfume left everyone in the room with burning nostrils. This DIY solid perfume locket from artisanal perfumer Mandy Aftel is something I can definitely stand behind, though.

So we're bidding you farewell early with a few links and this cute little picture tutorial ( see more below ) sent to our e-mail from the folks at Present&Correct . Happy wishes for your Easter and Passover break.
