tutorial: flower corsage for celebrating mom

Being a mom sometimes isn’t the most glamorous job one can have. Being a mom sometimes means walking around with food or boogers on your shirt, and sometimes not getting into the shower till afternoon . we’re busy driving kids to school and activities, busy folding laundry, busy wiping away tears, busy reading bed time stories, busy making it all better, busy cooking meals, busy keeping house, busy cleaning toilets. Yes, not so glamorous indeed, but probably the most important. We are the ones who help mold, uplift, and carry our children when they need us to. We are the ones they turn to when hurt, scared, or proud. We are their mothers and we have been given the opportunity to love them like no one else in this world.
that makes a mother beautiful in my eyes.
so to help mothers feel a little more pretty on the outside, I’ve created this lovely flower corsage, made out of satin ribbon.

Paper Party Decorations - Accordian Folded Starbursts & Medallions, For The Succah Or Anytime!

What can I say? These are really quite simple to make and yet so stunning, hung flat on a wall or from the ceiling. You can glue two back to back for a more dimensional hanging ornament, and even use really large paper for wall decorations that will not only look amazing as space fillers, but  will certainly require less effort on your part! It takes the same amount of time to make a large medallion as it does a small one, so give it some thought.
You'll Need:

• paper, color, weight and size according to your needs, these were made with A4 laser paper.
• needle and thread, or if you're lucky to own a very long armed stapler, that could work too!
• 2" scalloped craft punch and tiny flower punch
• a regular stapler or high tack glue, or double stick tape

Paper Party Decorations _ Easy Peasy Garland, Perfect For The Succah!

Isn't this sweet? If all you do is make many long ropes of these and string them across the walls and ceiling of your Succah, you can have a totally modern and gorgeous Succah, even breathtaking!  Really! Though if you want to go for breathtaking you'll need quantity and no other decorations what so ever. Got it? Sort of like a modern 50's/60's art installation if you happen to know what I mean. And if you've got kids 6 or 7 or older, they can easily do a great job turning out a bunch of these!
You'll Need:

• colored paper, preferably card stock, though used laser paper
• a glue stick
• fishing line
• a 3" circle punch
• a 2" scalloped circle punch
• or alternatively, a bunch of colored round stickers in a few sizes, even easier!

Pom pom maker

This is a tutorial for making pom-poms using your
fingers. This one is a small, two-finger pom-pom
(about 1" in diameter) but you can make bigger ones
by using more fingers. As far as yarn choice, thinner
and softer yarn will make a more pleasing pom-pom.
