Book Mobiles
2 years ago, I took an art class where our project was to make altered book art. One of my friends actually introduced me to these. We would sit and fold book pages for what seemed like hours. I have 3 hanging in my bedroom. Your hands will get very dirty in the process, from all the ink. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. I just noticed that this one was glued upside down. lol

Easy Origami Envelope |
If you’d like to make these cute little “Flap Lock” Origami Envelopes–all you’ll need is a piece of square paper…any size. I used Christmas scrapbook paper. 1. Fold the paper in half to form a triangle. Make sure your edges are even. 2. 3. fold the right corner about 1/3 of the way to the left. 4. 5. 6. 6. 7. 8. 9. And there you have it! Now scurry off and make a million of these–or at least 24 if you’re using them for the Family Advent Countdown Calendar. Not in the mood to fold your own?

Super Simple Valentine’s Day Bunting
Bunting is all over the place, and it has been ever since crafters, party planners and artists realized just how whimsical it can be, whether its a pom pom extravaganza, a base for a Confetti System style decoration, or simply construction paper, staples and string. Our take on bunting is perfect for Valentine's Day, and will have you tapping into your summer camp skills like what. Materials: - string (any kind will do) - glue stick or double stick tape - scissors - hole puncher - newspaper - old catalogs or magazines - colorful paper (origami or construction paper) First, fold up a piece of newspaper two, four or eight times depending on the size you want your hearts. Cut a half heart along the folded side. For us, this yielded 8 hearts. Repeat with folded origami or construction paper, so that the colored paper hearts are slightly smaller than the newspaper ones. And repeat again with catalogs or magazines.

MAGAZINE ENVELOPES
18K+ Well I got this idea from our friend Nina. She was making these super cute envelopes out of scrapbook paper and I really wanted to make some! So I came home and made some! They are so so SO simple and add a personal touch to your envelopes. You will need: An old magazine, scissors, an envelope, a glue stick and a Sharpie. Tear out some magazine pages that you like. Carefully pull the envelope apart. Trace the envelope on a magazine page. Cut the envelope shape out. Turn the envelope over as well as the magazine cut-out. Unfold everything and separate the magazine cut-out from the envelope. Glue the bottom flap down to the two side flaps. And you've made your own envelope! The great thing about making these envelopes our of magazine pages is that the envelopes have a character all of their own.
Tutorial about My Papercut on Polymer Clay Technique.
Trace your design on paper. The paper I use is Strathmore Bristol smooth 260 g/m2, 300 series. You can buy the same paper in tiny size if you're not planning to use lots of it. If you're in a hurry just use paper from a cereal box. Cut out your design using a #11 X-Acto knife or your favorite knife. It has to be very sharp. I recommend that you apply baby powder all over the papercut so it doesn't stick to the polymer clay later on. Prepare a flat sheet of polymer clay with the thickness of your preference. Carefully place the papercut on the polymer clay sheet. Now apply pressure using a roller or any similar tool until the papercut and the polymer clay form an even surface. Step 7: Lift the papercut carefully using a needle to reveal the embossed design. Here is the magic unveiled. After removing the papercut I cut around the circle of this cameo using an X-Acto knife. You're free to finish the piece as you want. 1. 2. 3. 4. Let's have fun! Elsita :)
