Quirky Origami Sumo Wrestlers
Awhile back I made these super cute Sumo Wrestler bowling pins from plastic bottles. Maybe this makes me a crafting dork, but I still look back fondly at that craft. They were just so quirky and fun! Today I am once again inspired by Sumo Wrestlers. But instead of making them out of plastic.... we're folding them out of ... origami paper!

How to Make Best Friend Clay Necklaces
Did you own a best friend necklace as a kid? One of my friends recently bought a pair for her daughter and best friend. (They were groovy mood ones. Girls' jewelry has definitely gotten cuter since I was a kid.) I was so inspired by the cute necklaces that my son and I made our own clay friendship necklaces. Aren't they fun?
(And even though these were made for friends, this would be a great gift to make for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day too!)

Here's a super quick and easy origami craft that's perfect for spring or summer! Lately, we've been bitten by the gardening bug.

Gorgeous "Painted" Oil Pastel Crystal Sun catchers
Have you ever tried "painting" with oil pastels? Every so often I feel all artsy-smartsy and pull out my big 'ol box of oil pastels and do an easy oil pastel craft with my kids. This past week I felt the urge and we made these crystal suncatchers by "painting" with oil pastels. The results were pretty gorgeous and the process was fun too!

My 3 Cardboard Craft Books are finally here!
Ok. The title says it all. So please buy my 3 awesome cardboard and duct tape craft books. End of Post.
Just kidding! (Apparently I'm much too wordy for a 1 line post.)
So grab a coffee or tea and let's chat.
Last June I shared that a publishing company contacted me about writing a series of cardboard craft books. (If you missed that post, or you just want to see a photo of our cardboard-filled garage, click here.)
Well, it's been almost a year since that post and tada.... the books are here!
Don't they look good enough to eat? Num num num num num.

Smiley Sun Popsicle Stick Weaving
Sometimes it feels like we go in craft cycles. Before, my son and I were really, really into origami projects. Now I'm starting to dream about doing more weaving projects. There's something really beautiful and relaxing about the process of weaving. There's a lovely pattern of movement and you always seems to get beautiful results.
So, in celebration of the sunny and warm weather, I recently made this really cute smiley sun popsicle stick weaving. If you enjoy weaving God's Eyes, you'll really enjoy this craft too!

Origami Friendship Math Quilt Craft
Brr, it's cold outside! Lately I've been enamored with quilt designs and origami crafts. Their bold colors and gorgeous geometric patterns really make me swoon! Today's post combines my love for both crafts. These origami paper quilts are really quite beautiful to look at. Folding them can be a bit of challenge, because there are so many units to fold. But, make them with some friends and you're sure to have some indoor fun during these cold winter nights.

Awesome Chinese New Year Dragon Kite Puppet
Happy belated Chinese New Year! This past week I visited my son's classroom and did some Chinese New Year themed crafts with his friends. I'd love to claim today's craft as my own because it's so awesome. But, I can't take any credit. My son actually made it in his class. (The teacher found the idea in The MailBox and graciously allowed me to share it here.) Isn't it super neat?
