Cardboard Mail Carrier Bag
Chuck recently became interested in letter writing and sending letters through the mail. So I whipped up this cute mail carrier bag to help encourage his pretend play!

How to Fold and Cut Origami Stars
Lately I've just been digging Origami projects. There's just something so relaxing about folding paper to create lovely things. For today's post I wanted to share a recent origami project- these folded and cut origami stars. They are really, really beautiful and of course, super simple to make! (I'm an origami newbie, so if I say it's easy... it's totally doable!)
So keep reading to see how I made them.
Oh yeah. Guess what? I took the plunge and actually shot videos of me folding the paper and explaining my process. I know, I know. Video is a completely new medium to me and I still have a lot of kinks to work out (like how to make things brighter!) But, I think the videos explain the process better than the photos. So I've included them in the post.

How to make Woven Easter Baskets
Easter is tomorrow! And if you're looking for a super easy and cute kids Easter craft.... this is it! Check out these woven Easter Baskets!
A friend left her strawberry baskets at our place the other day. I kept meaning to return them to her, but never got a chance. Oops. So they just kept staring at me this past week... whispering, "Craft with me, craft with me." Well, of course I had to obey their siren calls.
With all their open holes, I knew they would be perfect to practice weaving on!
(By the way- we've done so many weaving crafts over here that this was a nice one to add to the collection:
