So for this week’s DIY, I thought I would bring it back to paper dolls again. I thought we would make a regular pleated dress this time. As always, it is fairly easy to do but is absolutely adorable. I am hoping to come up with a coupla different dress styles that my students will…
Yes, I did not get a chance to do our weekly DIY yesterday so I thought I would do a slightly different DIY today. I am gonna highlight a recipe that I love. One of the things that I love about summer is the bounty of fresh ingredients. I usually jaunt down to the Union…
For our Friday DIY, I decided to look into the future for inspiration. In the coming fall term, students in our Craft Market class will be making Paper Dolls including a coupla outfits. As we normally do, we will provide the kiddos with their DIY kit which will include the doll (they will pick from…
For this week’s DIY, I decided to highlight another of our adorable Paper Lantern Creatures: Hefalump. You can find all our PLC DIY kits on our Etsy store. Now Hefalump is one of my fav Paper Lantern Creatures, although truth be told, I love them all. But Hefalump is a little crazy, wacky and is…
For our Friday DIY for this week, I looked to our workshops at Grand Bazaar Market as inspiration. One of the crafts we will be working on is a paper craft to make an umbrella and ballerina. I first came across this paper craft a coupla years ago. I thought it was adorable beyond belief…

For our Friday DIY, I decided to highlight kanzashi flowers again. This time, we turned the flower up side down to showcase the beauty of the bottom of the classic flower. Part of the reason why I like using this particular technique to make these flowers, is that if you pay attention as you are…
So I have mixed feelings about clear slime. I like the idea of it and even though in some ways it is easier to make then other slime, it does take several days to get rid of the bubbles in order to make it crystal clear.
Oh what can I say about magnetic slime? I first came across it about 3 years ago. I loved the idea of it so we made some in one of our classes. As you can guess, the kiddos loved it. I have not made it since then. Not because I feel strongly against it. But…
So I admit that I have been trying to stay away from the world of slime. We teach kids from 3.5 to 12 years of age and in the last coupla years as slime-mania has grown, I made the conscious decision not to do a single class on that subject. Yes, we have had students…
