So just updating what we have been up too lately. Sarah has been super busy teaching classes on mosaics, soap making and other cool crafts. She has also been making these beautiful mosaic pieces (soon to be for sale on Etsy!) You will want to rush to get those, they really are beautiful. We will update in another post with all the information to her shop, and link to her classes if you in the Chicago area you can join in.<br />
<br />
I have been taking a pottery class and making just tons of stuff! I took classes in college but more for figure sculpting, this is just free and whatever I can come up with and I love it!
I am sharing all of that work on my blog <a href="http://nottoopinkcdean.blogspot.com/">Not Too Pink</a>
Here is just a few images of what I have been working on;

<div style="text-align: center;">
We used the walnut shell many times in our small crafts, one of our favorites,<br />
was the knitting basket from this <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2012/06/crafts-for-dollhose-family.html" target="_blank">post</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This would make a really cool, unique ornament for the knitter in your life, so we made new</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas baskets, with red and green yarns.</div>

We just rolled the tiniest yarn ball, and secured it w/ some craft glue, also securing it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into the walnut shell. Add some stick pins for knitting needles, and you are good to go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you choose to make this into an ornament, we just picked a cute ribbon, and affixed w/ a strong glue, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or epoxy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the kitschy awesomeness of the Yule Log, and even more so as a cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BBche_de_No%C3%ABl" target="_blank">Buche de Noel.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I had to make a teeny tiny one, out of Fimo clay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CGUgasRF6vY/UL96DshNuUI/AAAAAAAAAy4/IaLFPqvsQII/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CGUgasRF6vY/UL96DshNuUI/AAAAAAAAAy4/IaLFPqvsQII/s640/1.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.Using tan and brown fimo clay, roll each piece into a flat, almost oval shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Stack the dark brown piece onto the tan piece.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RKaUqWqsr48/UL96KsRy5ZI/AAAAAAAAAzA/flfI7dnqYHU/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RKaUqWqsr48/UL96KsRy5ZI/AAAAAAAAAzA/flfI7dnqYHU/s640/2.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Roll the 2 pieces into the log shape. (much like how you make the real cake!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. With a knife, cut of the messy ends. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ANansrwH3CM/UL96RMwzmhI/AAAAAAAAAzI/6_3IyICWORc/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ANansrwH3CM/UL96RMwzmhI/AAAAAAAAAzI/6_3IyICWORc/s640/3.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Save one of the ends you cut off, preferably, the one that looks best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. And attach to the top of the log, so it looks like a sawed off branch.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5iZ8adQLI5s/UL968R7U6sI/AAAAAAAAAzU/3xY7jNyR_9s/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5iZ8adQLI5s/UL968R7U6sI/AAAAAAAAAzU/3xY7jNyR_9s/s640/4.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. I used a knife to create a "bark like" texture on the log.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Next start to make the detail. Green fimo for holly leaves.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GnIzP2CjVGA/UL97C546ykI/AAAAAAAAAzc/2Ri3Yjg2ck0/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GnIzP2CjVGA/UL97C546ykI/AAAAAAAAAzc/2Ri3Yjg2ck0/s640/5.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Make several leaves, for the top of the log, and some for the log to sit on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't forget the red holly berries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. Roll a small red ball, and even tiner white ones, to make the little toadstools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WDtR3rNBUxY/UL97FNQ8sdI/AAAAAAAAAzk/_X6I8-6u8eY/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WDtR3rNBUxY/UL97FNQ8sdI/AAAAAAAAAzk/_X6I8-6u8eY/s640/6.jpg" width="570" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. Attach the tiny white balls, to the red one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12. Gently roll this on a surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
13. Until the white is flat on the red, creating a smooth surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
14. Now gently cut the ball in half.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
15. These are the tops of your 2 toadstools. Roll some white for the base of the toadstool.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l4kVrrLUd84/UL97NLbkVJI/AAAAAAAAAzs/hNIju-GAf3A/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l4kVrrLUd84/UL97NLbkVJI/AAAAAAAAAzs/hNIju-GAf3A/s640/7.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
16. Create a base for the cake to sit on. If you want to make this into an ornament, add a hole for ribbon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If this is just going to the dollhouse, leave this part out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
17. Now assemble all the pieces together, and bake according to the directions!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is just one more last minute ornament idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love cuckoo clocks, and have been dying to get one for our house for years! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love all the hand-carved details in the house, the little woodland animals, the kitschy German landscapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So like many things I have yet to get, I will make a very tiny version for a dollhouse </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wait patiently for the day, I get a real one in my own house!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So starting off, this is made just like our <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2012/12/day-11-tiny-gingerbread-house.html" target="_blank">gingerbread house</a>, and the <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2012/12/day-20-miniature-glitter-houses.html" target="_blank">glitter houses.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get your block of wood, and cut a card-stock roof, and triangle for support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue the triangle to the roof, and then the roof to the house.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I drew all the details on card-stock, added color with color pencil and glued </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the little pieces onto the house shape.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used a thin jewelry chain, and a stick pin, to add those little acorns and the pendulum.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attached them with super glue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can hang this tiny cuckoo clock inside your dollhouse and it will instantly be much cozier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time of year, this would make a really cute ornament too, just attach some ribbon!</div>

Here is just one example, one of our most popular Christmas gift ideas, tiny book charms!<br />

With the holidays approaching I am once again struggling to come up with some inexpensive, original gifts for my family. How about you?<br />
First order of business for me: a present for my mom. She has a home filled with festive dishes, Matryoshka dolls, quilts, tea sets and books. I try to make her a gift every year. My mom is rather obsessed with the Bloomsbury Group. She collects their various first editions, gives a dramatic slide show detailing their capers and love affairs and for many years even had a big picture of Virginia Woolf hanging in her sewing room. (If you would like to see the Virginia Woolf quilt she made it is on <a href="http://sueboone.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a>) So it did not take much imagination to determine that I should make her something featuring her favorite tortured author. I decided that at the same time I could make my daughter something for her dollhouse.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7kUMnkXM5rQ/ULeeQrGktnI/AAAAAAAAArs/3Y4dSb5V9wU/s1600/book+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7kUMnkXM5rQ/ULeeQrGktnI/AAAAAAAAArs/3Y4dSb5V9wU/s400/book+2.jpg" width="393" /></a> <br />

<br />
I started out by locating some book jackets on the internet. It is really easy to use Google images and locate the cover of your choice. Unless you obtain both the front and back image cover you will need to add on a rectangle that will be the book spine and back. I just filled the rectangle with color or texture and tried to match the cover. No one is going to look at the back of your book! I then reduced them in size and had them printed out at the copy store so they would be really high-quality images.<br />
<br />
I
cut out the covers and gave them to my husband, who is a woodworker. He
cut me some wood scraps in the right sizes. The covers are all a little
bit different so you might need a different size piece of wood for each one. Some are tall and
thin and others are shorter and wider. If you don't have someone who can
easily cut wood for you you might try using balsa wood, which is easily
cut by amateurs with a knife. You also could stack and glue folded
paper inside to fill the covers. <br />

Some of the books will reside in a doll house and do not need a hook for
hanging. Others will need to hang so that I can transform
them into ornaments or jewelry. (Someone else in my family is getting a Nancy drew bracelet for Christmas!) To add a hangng ring glue on a short
bent piece of wire prior to attaching the cover. Later on you can add a
ring to the wire if you want.<br />

<b>Materials</b></div>
<ul>
<li>Large "kitchen" Matchbox (I bought mine at a grocery store.)</li>
<li>Coffee stirrer cut in half</li>
<li>Cardstock</li>
<li>water colors and colored pencil for the art</li>
<li>Masking tape or duct tape </li>
<li>Glue stick to assemble everything</li>
</ul>
<b>Steps</b></div>
<div>
<ol><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tw9p4nJsDfA/UnkYFpyz-EI/AAAAAAAABzA/KbBHBKPnbhE/s1600/4.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tw9p4nJsDfA/UnkYFpyz-EI/AAAAAAAABzA/KbBHBKPnbhE/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li>Decorate the inside bottom of the box with some swirly water colors </li>
<li>Use watercolor and color pencil to create waves and cut them out. I made two rows of waves.</li>
<li>Glue the waves inside the box.</li>
<li>Draw the boat and cut it out. It is easy to find simple images of the Mayflower online or in books to inspire you.</li>
<li>Make a slit along the bottom center of the inside box and stick the coffee stirrer up through the hole. This slit is the sailing course your ship will be able to move along.</li>
<li>Place the Mayflower in the box and stick the stirrer up through the slit. Tape the stirrer to the back of the boat. The ship will also store inside the box when it closes, just gently remove it from the slot and lay inside.</li>
<li>For the exterior I used a paper covering, hand drawn leaves, and some words about the Pilgrims. You could follow my example or decorate it any way you want.</li>
<li>Slide the inside box into your top and you are ready to take the Mayflower out to give as a fun gift for a child learning about Thanksgiving or for the hostess at your Thanksgiving meal.</li>

I've said it before, I love to make things with little matchboxes, so it should be no surprise I am still coming up with things to do with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3dgWS_tgoA/VrzbbFkaaEI/AAAAAAAACJM/GEZAZEJJ4Vw/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3dgWS_tgoA/VrzbbFkaaEI/AAAAAAAACJM/GEZAZEJJ4Vw/s400/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B001.jpg" width="381" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was just sort of making this little diorama for myself for fun, when my son saw it. He really surprised me how much he loved it! So I thought, I could hide it away and give it to him for Valentines Day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bKlnlA0MkYo/VrzbbHlcQPI/AAAAAAAACJE/SlyyHcXC490/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bKlnlA0MkYo/VrzbbHlcQPI/AAAAAAAACJE/SlyyHcXC490/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to make a second one for my daughter too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-djb1vD76y8I/Vrzbce2qqAI/AAAAAAAACJQ/2AKKCjIZdxI/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-djb1vD76y8I/Vrzbce2qqAI/AAAAAAAACJQ/2AKKCjIZdxI/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B005.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>

My daughter is quite the little writer these days, so she got a little wolf typing away! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Typing on a Robin's Egg Blue vintage typewriter of course! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is how easy this was to make;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GcCV0uktPl4/VrzbeA22JCI/AAAAAAAACJY/XmbQKlsMF3w/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GcCV0uktPl4/VrzbeA22JCI/AAAAAAAACJY/XmbQKlsMF3w/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B008.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just used a regular old small matchbox. Instead of elaborate decorating I simply covered everything with a black sharpie marker in one coat. Very smelly, but provided quick and easy results!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dyWE3w9Nmfc/VrzbePTPPvI/AAAAAAAACJc/KnX5PuCai_Y/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dyWE3w9Nmfc/VrzbePTPPvI/AAAAAAAACJc/KnX5PuCai_Y/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B010.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I traced the background for size, and did a simple illustration in pencil, added color with watercolors,and went back over the pencils lines with black pen so they stood out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used regular white glue to attach to the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WXIpVK_lkBs/VrzbepzdP8I/AAAAAAAACJg/bT6Rqq46TQk/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WXIpVK_lkBs/VrzbepzdP8I/AAAAAAAACJg/bT6Rqq46TQk/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create a 3-D effect, I made 2 more layers, same technique, paper-pencil-watercolor-pen. I cut the image out, but left a tab to attach to the inside of the box, and colored over the tab with black sharpie so it does not show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dyWE3w9Nmfc/VrzbePTPPvI/AAAAAAAACJs/_93aS1nJh0M/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dyWE3w9Nmfc/VrzbePTPPvI/AAAAAAAACJs/_93aS1nJh0M/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B010.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The top layer needs it's tab to be the thickness of the inside of the box, so that it stands on top. The tab of the layer below should be half the thickness, so it rests in the middle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0dKay1NPfh8/VrzbbO8U1fI/AAAAAAAACJI/hEMovRKLCj0/s1600/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0dKay1NPfh8/VrzbbO8U1fI/AAAAAAAACJI/hEMovRKLCj0/s320/Valentine%2Bdioramas%2B002.jpg" width="285" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fold all the layers inside the box, and your little diorama is ready for someone to love!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept it simple for the covers (as you can see above) and just glued another drawn image to the front.</div>

This is a fun project for anyone who has ever wanted to engage in some doll making, but without making the doll completely from scratch. For me the, the most fun part about making a doll is to create clothes and accessories that will make the doll unique. Making the body is not something I have proven to be that talented at. So, lucky for me, I ran across this 18 inch cotton doll at the craft store many months ago. It cost $8. The doll is not particularly attractive but has bendable fabric limbs and happens to be the same size as the American Girl Doll, which wound up coming in handy because you can purchase clothing items that you don't want to sew. Aside from the actual American Girl store, lots of places sell knock off 18 inch doll clothing including Joann Fabric and Toys R Us. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
First, decide what kind of doll you want to make. If it is a literary or
historical figure you should pick some identifying items of clothing
and determine what color hair and eyes the doll will need to have. The clothes that Amelia is wearing were sewn were
from Simplicity Pattern 5733, which contains all the clothes patterns
you would need for virtually any doll including a skirt, a blouse, a
robe, a long coat, a short jacket and pants.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
What our doll is wearing:</div>
<ul><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PCTUAvkL0qc/U3VdJbXafNI/AAAAAAAACZM/p_SRodrz-OI/s1600/7.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PCTUAvkL0qc/U3VdJbXafNI/AAAAAAAACZM/p_SRodrz-OI/s1600/7.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W0JfQaKQmhE/U3Vcz0QQBEI/AAAAAAAACY8/AZldXVUMeCw/s1600/11.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W0JfQaKQmhE/U3Vcz0QQBEI/AAAAAAAACY8/AZldXVUMeCw/s1600/11.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>
<li>white blouse sewn from pattern with pearl buttons at neck</li>
<li>brown suede pants sewn from pattern</li>
<li>black scrunchy boots purhased in 18 inch doll section at Joann Fabric</li>
<li>Long jacket sewn from pattern using Pleather. I used only one layer of the jacket and instead of making a liner glued on long strips of fake fur along the collar and inside. The coat does not button or zip, it is just open. </li>
<li>Suitcase made from an empty Altoid tin. I covered the outside in brown felt and put purple satin on the inside. I made some medals out of shrinky dinks to represent her French Legion of Honor and her Distinguished Flying Cross medal. </li>
<li>Goggles- wait until the face is done so that you know how far the eyes are spaced. Then cut simple goggles out of Pleather, twice. Sandwich some clear plastic (i used transparency from a stationary shop) in between the Pleather and use Superglue.</li>
<li>Hat - there is a really great aviator hat tutorial <a href="http://cristophine.deviantart.com/art/Aviator-Cap-Tutorial-84150949">here</a> at thedeviantart site.</li>
<li>hair- I used orange yarn</li>
<li>face paint- acrylic paint.</li>
</ul>
After I dressed the doll in her clothes I ran into the dilemna of how to make her face and hair. For this I turned to my co-blogger Corinne. She is a talented painter and has some experience with dollmaking so she took over and made the face and hair. She painted a circle on the face using gesso then drew the features in pencil, then filled them in with acrylic paint. She made the hair curly by gluing the yarn in loops under the helmet. It might be possible to find orange yarn that is already curly but I had not found any so this worked great.<br />
We really enjoyed making this doll, as we both are big Amelia Earhart fans. You may want to make a similar one or make one in homage to your own hero or heroine.<br />

April showers are supposed to bring May flowers. Here in the Midwest we have some tulips in our yard, but the terrible winter has delayed a lot of our Spring flowers. You can make these flowers in a few moments and transform your paper scraps into an adorable bouquet to tide you over until your garden blooms. This project originally appeared in the April issue of <a href="http://kidscrafts1-2-3.com/">Kids Craft 1-2-3! </a><br />
<b>Materials:</b><br />
paper (I used a map, sheet music, and pages from a gardening catalog.)<br />
stapler<br />
glue<br />
pipe cleaner<br />
something for the center like circles of felt, buttons, circles of contrasting paper, pom poms<br />
<br />
<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs1yNA3Wb_o/U3Iunxa1_qI/AAAAAAAACXg/u3NvqUK0rQU/s1600/flower+accordion.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs1yNA3Wb_o/U3Iunxa1_qI/AAAAAAAACXg/u3NvqUK0rQU/s1600/flower+accordion.JPG" height="145" width="200" /></a>
<li>Cut a piece of paper into a long rectangle. Try 4 1/2 x 12 inches or pick your own size.</li>
<li>Fold the paper like an accordion with small folds.</li>
<li>After the paper is folded up completely, staple at the halfway point and fan out the sides.</li>
<li>Glue the sides open to make the flower.</li>
<li>For the center you can do what I did and glue on a small circle of felt and a button on top of that. You also could attach circles of contrasting paper, tiny pom poms, or other center items. </li>
<li>I used tape to attach the back of my flowers to the pipe cleaners. You could also use a glue gun for a neater appearance. </li>

Since we are often making things that reference our love of British culture (Sherlock Holmes pillows, a Ms. Marple room box, etc.) we decided that it was time to make a little phone booth. The phone booth is small enough so that it can rest on a desk top or be included in a railway scene or used for whatever you want! I used blank Shrinky Dink paper but you could also make a phone booth out of cardboard, fimo, or fabric. The directions that follow are to make it out of shrinkable plastic. One drawback of this is that you will not wind up with perfection. My phone booth is a little crooked and the edges do not line up perfectly. However the translucence of the plastic does make for a nice effect.<br />
<b>Materials</b><br />
<ul>
<li>shrinkable paper. I used two sheets size 5 x 8 inches and had some scraps left over for future projects<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A23Z2RQv2VA/U1_Qbx7zghI/AAAAAAAACWo/Li0YFoj61xU/s1600/IMG_1494.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A23Z2RQv2VA/U1_Qbx7zghI/AAAAAAAACWo/Li0YFoj61xU/s1600/IMG_1494.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>thin black Sharpie</li>
<li>colored pencils</li>
<li>scissors</li>
<li>printout of a phone booth image, taken from directly in front, sized at 3 x the size you want the final phone booth to be </li>
</ul>
<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Work on the scratchy side of the Shrinky Dink paper. Trace 3 identical phone booth sides around the outside and where the windows will be and cut them out around the outside carefully.</li>
<li>Use colored pencils to fill in color and accents like the gold crown at the top</li>
<li>Write the word "telephone" backwards and trace that using the Sharpie. Fill in around it in white</li>
<li>Leave the windows blank</li>
<li>Trace the back. This fourth side will be solid red</li>
<li>Trim the booths so the top edge does not curl out like it does in real life, or it will be hard to glue them together, Make a straight line on three of them. </li>
<li>Bake in the oven at 350' for 1-3 minutes. This is where you can run into problems. You want the pieces to curl up while they are shrinking then relax back to being perfectly flat. You may want to use a toaster oven for better control and bake one or two pieces at a time. Flatten them with a spatula once they have relaxed back down and are still pliable.</li>
<li>After the pieces cool you can assemble them. Mine did not line up perfectly so I made a tiny box out of card stock and glued the pieces onto this. </li>
<li>Enjoy! Now you can make one in blue, write "Police Box" on it, and make the Dr. Who fan in your life very, very happy.</li>

Did you ever run across the A.A. Milne poetry collection <u>When we Were Very Young</u>?
If you like Winnie the Pooh you will find his favorite boy featured in many of the poems. Anyway that was just one stanza but it is a nice poem, and brings me to today's project: my Brtish Royal Guard Jumping Jack! <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HBgZ7NuH0bg/U0f-VS6UqkI/AAAAAAAACVE/u4vCcRJI5LY/s1600/aamilne.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HBgZ7NuH0bg/U0f-VS6UqkI/AAAAAAAACVE/u4vCcRJI5LY/s1600/aamilne.JPG" height="200" width="140" /></a><br />
<br />
I think little kids are always really intrigued by the Royal Guard and their impressive outfits. At least I always was. Plus, I am a pretty huge Anglophile so I have always wanted to make a little soldier for our house. (See the bottom of this post for our many projects inspired by our love of English culture.)<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4qE5DXscDrs/U0f-MdRsuYI/AAAAAAAACUo/La3X7MgTyoc/s1600/jumping+jackk+book.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4qE5DXscDrs/U0f-MdRsuYI/AAAAAAAACUo/La3X7MgTyoc/s1600/jumping+jackk+book.jpg" height="175" width="200" /></a>I have some really incredible German craft books that my mom bought in the Sixties in Europe. This one is called "Tiere, Puppen, Hampelmanner" and is by Ilse Strobl-Wohlschlager. It contains some really fantastic jumping jacks that inspired me to make my own. Unbelievably, I did an internet search and this book is available at Amazon! In English! For like $5! So I did not know this when I started and I could not actually read the instructions, but I think I came up with a working jumping jack using her photos for inspiration.<br />
First I cut out the body parts from card stock. There are lots of templates for jumping jacks floating around the internet to inspire you. The German book had a very stylized doll, with a pinched waist and pointy feet, which I totally copied.<br />
You will note that I punched small holes at the shoulders, top and bottom of thigh piece and top of arm and foot pieces. These holes will hold the brads. So, check out how large your brads are and make sure your hole is the right size. The big brass fasteners you get at office supply stores don't work very well with this as they stick out all over the place. I used smaller brads from a craft store.<br />
I then punched an even tinier second hole at the top of the two arm pieces and the top of the legs. This second hole will be for the string. It should not be too close to the edge as it could tear if people get too rowdy with the jumping jack.<br />

I glued tissue paper onto my body parts. The leg and feet pieces are black and the body is red. I also cut out a hat piece and covered it with black tissue paper. The chin strap is white paper colored black, cut to frame the face. I used Mod Podge to apply the tssue and put a few coats on top to make it a little sturdier.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jIJUzpQQsOY/U0f-HDWlFbI/AAAAAAAACUY/cu0BA_3Dw4A/s1600/jumping+jack+green+back.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jIJUzpQQsOY/U0f-HDWlFbI/AAAAAAAACUY/cu0BA_3Dw4A/s1600/jumping+jack+green+back.jpg" height="400" width="235" /></a><br />
I drew the face using a black Sharpie. (Pencil first.) After I colored the face I glued on the hair and chin strap. I also used black marker on the cuffs and collar and added a white tissue belt and gold accents using a paint pen. <br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k2Hr-p8v2d4/U0f-SGsnumI/AAAAAAAACU4/4gikPpfxHs0/s1600/jumping+jack+back.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k2Hr-p8v2d4/U0f-SGsnumI/AAAAAAAACU4/4gikPpfxHs0/s1600/jumping+jack+back.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a> I attached the arms and legs loosely with brads so the limbs can dangle freely. Then I took a needle and some embroidery floss and rigged up the back. I tied a straight string between the arm holes. This needs to be tight but not tight enough that it causes the arms to pull up. Don't worry about the ends of the string until later. Tie a straight string between the top of the legs. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CXVgY0MIG40/U0f-O7g1PBI/AAAAAAAACUw/GTpu0pWEdPA/s1600/jumping+jack+up.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CXVgY0MIG40/U0f-O7g1PBI/AAAAAAAACUw/GTpu0pWEdPA/s1600/jumping+jack+up.jpg" height="320" width="223" /></a>Then Tie a string from he middle of the top string to the bottom string and have it hang down. I added a bead to the bottom. I don't really care what the back of this guy looks like so I trimmed the edges of the string and taped them down. You could probably do this neater if you are so inclined. My kids LOVE the jumping jack. I am going to make some more blank body part pieces and let them design their own. My daughter wants to make a princess and my son probably has some incredibly complicated design of his own.<br />

I bought my daughter the Melissa and Doug Pasture Pals toy many years
ago. I still find the horses floating around the house on occasion but
she never spent too much time playing with this toy. I have been looking
at the box, which is wooden and has 12 compartments, thinking it would
make a great shadow box. I finally decided to make a shadow box for Easter. The idea is that this is the place the bunnies live and work on the eggs. I used a combination of dollhouse accessories and hand made items to make up the house. I have to say that every child who has walked into my house in the past week has been absolutely thrilled by this box and immediately demand that they be allowed to make their own diorama. <br />
I will go room by room and tell you what I included in my little workshop.

We painted the wood green and attached shingles across the top. I used dollhouse shingles and glued them on in layers. It is a little tricky at the corners because when you cut the shingles with scissors they splinter but I thought a rustic look was OK for the bunny house. <br />
I used strips of balsa wood to cover the edges of the walls. I just snipped them to the right length and glued them on with craft glue. The green paint shows underneath sometimes but I think it looks good.<br />

I picked 4 different decorative papers that I think go well together and wallpapered the rooms with squares of paper.<br />
Some rooms are carpeted with felt. The workshops have newsprint on the floor, and the first floor has burlap.<br />
<b>Top left corner room:</b><br />
Dining room<br />
This has a table I made out of a thimble and square of cardboard. The seats are two tiny wooden blocks from the Dollar Store. I purchased the cake at a dollhouse store.<br />
<b>Top row, second from left:</b><br />
Reading room.<br />
I made a simple bench using a Popsicle stick and wooden blocks and glued some little books on top of it.<br />

<b>Top row, second from right:</b><br />
Game room<br />
<b> </b> I made a simple table using spools and plywood. I set up a card house using cards from a dollhouse store, glued on with tweezers to arrange the cards. I thought it was funny to imagine the bunnies making card houses in their spare time.<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Top row, right corner:</b><br />
Bedroom<br />
I made a simple bunk bed out of craft sticks and painted it. <br />
The key to cutting craft sticks without good tools is to score it a lot with an x-acto knife, then hold it in pliers when you snap it, The pliers seem to keep it from splintering. I made some pretty nice clean cuts for this project using this technique.<br />

<b>Middle Row, far left room</b><br />
Egg storage room<br />
I made a crate by stacking and gluing balsa wood strips and used actual Easter candy to represent the unpainted eggs. It would have been better to make some out of polymer clay but the eggs I made looked really bad and the small jelly beans and chocolate eggs look good. You can just replace them each year. I tacked mine down using craft dots which hold stuff in place enough to keep everything from falling out, but are easily removable.<b> </b><br />

This room was the most fun. I had some tiny glass apothecary jars which I filled with glitter. I made a table using a glass slide glued onto thimbles. If you are wondering where I find all these tiny thimbles, the Dollar Stores usually have bags of them in their sewing kit area. They are colorful and inexpensive and useful.<br />
I made the paintbrushes by snipping a pointy toothpick in half and painting most of it brown. The tip is black and there is a band of silver around it.<br />
The colored pencils are also made from pointy toothpicks, I painted them various colors and tried to emulate the zigzag created by a pencil sharpener. I put a glass bead on the table to show that they have a work-in-progress. <br />
<b> Middle row, second from right</b><br />
Egg drying room<br />
I made a shelf using yet another craft stick and arranged some foil-wrapped eggs and some colorful egg-shaped beads to show their work is drying and nearly ready to be packed up in baskets.<br />
<b>Middle row, far right side</b><br />
Baskets<br />
I made baskets by wrapping soda pop lids with felt and trim and put some Easter grass and eggs inside.<br />
<b>Bottom row, far left side</b><br />
Croquet set. I bought this. I think of the ground floor as their play and outdoors area.<br />
<b>Bottom row, second from left</b><br />

Teeter totter. I made this with a craft stick and some strips of plywood and have it balanced on a chocolate egg.<b> </b><br />
<b>Bottom row, far right side</b><br />
Gardening room<br />
I have here some garden tools hung on the wall and a basket of fruit and veggies from the bunny's garden. <b> </b><br />
I would say the ground floor could stand some improvement, upon writing up this post. But overall it is a pretty cute Easter decoration and best of all can be packed up for next year without taking up a ton of space.<br />

I am still having fun with my cutting machine. Last week I made a <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2014/03/freezer-paper-silhouette-stencil.html">Sherlock Holmes pillow</a> using freezer paper. I had to follow up with my other favorite detective! To make this I used my Silhouette cutting machine but you absolutely can do it with scissors if you are a careful cutter. I printed out multiple copies of Nancy Drew's silhouette on black craft paper and cut them out. Then I took a Dollar Store lampshade and glued them on using matte Mod Podge. I added trim and pom poms and the shade was ready. The base was clear glass and I covered with with black tissue paper and Mod Podge. I think the texture looks pretty good but it would be easy to find a base that doesn't need to be altered or to alter it in a different way like by painting it.<br />
I actually was in such a hurry I didn't do a very good job placing the figures. It would be worth your time to use a ruler and mark off where you will put the cut outs. I also should have marked where the pom pom and trim would be placed as I will confess these are a little haphazard as well. However I am still pretty pleased with this cute little lamp and am already thinking about other shades I can make people like a Virginia Woolf shade for my mom or a Beethoven shade for Annabelle's music teacher. You can pick any image and see how easy it is!<br />

I recently bought myself a Silhouette Portrait machine. I am usually the last person to find out about anything cool and I think in this case I once again have missed years of fun I could have been having using this amazing electronic cutting machine. I thought it was for scrap booking and never really paid attention to the other things it is good for. Anyway, one thing it does really, really well is cut intricate designs onto paper. This is good news for me because I like to make fabric stencils using freezer paper and it is pretty hard for me to cut freezer paper with a lot of accuracy using an x-acto knife because it tends to tear. Having said that, you can do this project without a machine if you have a lot of patience and are a careful cutter. I decided to have my first project be the man very close to my heart: Sherlock Holmes. You could pick any favorite silhouette or outline to stencil. It would also be really cute to make stencils of your children's silhouettes. For an easy way to get a good silhouette from a photograph see our old Christmas post <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2012/12/tiny-silhouettes.html">Tiny Silhouettes</a>.<br />

<li>Freezer paper</li>
<li>iron</li>
<li>Cricut or Silhouette machine or tiny sharp scissors and x-acto knife</li>
<li>fabric paint</li>
<li>fabric to apply the silhouette to. I used a square of cotton.</li>
<li> image that you want to use</li>
</ul>
<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6S-XkPnfNmM/UzGchAwps6I/AAAAAAAACRk/p0bwxOOAGvw/s1600/sherlock+iron.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6S-XkPnfNmM/UzGchAwps6I/AAAAAAAACRk/p0bwxOOAGvw/s1600/sherlock+iron.jpg" height="155" width="200" /></a>
<li>Trace your image onto freezer paper and cut it out or use a cutting machine. The shiny side will be facing down when you iron it on but up when you print it out so you may need to reverse your design.</li>
<li>Iron the freezer paper stencil onto the fabric. It tends to be curly so I tack down edges and work slowly, making sure it is totally flat. After it is on then I go over it a bunch of times to make sure it is totally adhered at every edge.</li>
<li>Fill in the stencil with fabric paint. </li>
<li>Let it dry according to the instructions that come with the fabric paint. Mine had to stay untouched overnight, then I heat set it with an iron. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-21P11_3_Hcs/UzGcp_ULz3I/AAAAAAAACR0/56eInyVNoQc/s1600/sherlock+paint.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-21P11_3_Hcs/UzGcp_ULz3I/AAAAAAAACR0/56eInyVNoQc/s1600/sherlock+paint.jpg" height="200" width="171" /></a></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Easter always brings to mind the images of chocolate bunnies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I rarely find any of the giant chocolate bunnies to taste very good, but I feel they</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is what you will need;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>+Fimo clay in shades of brown and dark brown, white, and pink</li>
<li>+a toothpick</li>
<li>+small knife (like pearing knife) or sharp clay tools</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o6Pdn4JhSz8/Uys2oBy5qRI/AAAAAAAACBs/qqTDaN42dJ0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o6Pdn4JhSz8/Uys2oBy5qRI/AAAAAAAACBs/qqTDaN42dJ0/s1600/2.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So first, you see all the shapes you will need to make. The final bunny is just over 2" tall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roll your clay into the following shapes, just molding with your hands</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Brown oval shape for body, about 1" tall</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">2 brown flat circles for legs, about 3/4" tall</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">2 brown small rolled ovals for feet</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">1 brown perfectly rolled ball for head, about 1/2"</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">2 brown 1" flat ovals for ears</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">2 lighter brown/white flat ovals for inside ear</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">1 lighter brown/white 1/2" long flat oval for belly</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">1 pink tiny little triangle for nose</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">1 pink rolled ball for tale, about the size of a pea</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the pieces are ready, take the two brown flat circles and attach to sides of the main body shape.Position the feet on bottom, facing front.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fUXQY5kmV9g/Uys2p5Oxv7I/AAAAAAAACB8/h_fyBg7V480/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fUXQY5kmV9g/Uys2p5Oxv7I/AAAAAAAACB8/h_fyBg7V480/s1600/3.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the knife or flat tool, smooth the edges across the back of bunny, so they look like one surface. Leave edges on sides and front, to make legs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, position the lighter brown/white pieces on the ears and belly. Flatten them a bit so they become more flush with the surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3V5stIZJ5C8/Uys2r1Lf4bI/AAAAAAAACCI/HMdOFd_4df8/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3V5stIZJ5C8/Uys2r1Lf4bI/AAAAAAAACCI/HMdOFd_4df8/s1600/4.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get the head and attach the ears side by side to the back. Use the same technique with the knife, so flatten the edges smooth on the back of the head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrKmMMnL8Ck/Uys2r51DysI/AAAAAAAACCE/vuCKwfaTrS8/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrKmMMnL8Ck/Uys2r51DysI/AAAAAAAACCE/vuCKwfaTrS8/s1600/5.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then get the head ready to attach to the body. Rough up the "neck" area and the bottom of the head, so they attach better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I curled one ear slightly, just because it is cuter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5NaUjeNcFGg/Uys2srn3OkI/AAAAAAAACCQ/vZHT2sXynQc/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5NaUjeNcFGg/Uys2srn3OkI/AAAAAAAACCQ/vZHT2sXynQc/s1600/6.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, smooth out edges in back of head, so it becomes one surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the pink triangle nose to center of face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use toothpick to poke an eye on either side of nose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--TQxIDCnLo8/Uys2t9Nk-GI/AAAAAAAACCY/ASc-i4_NDJs/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--TQxIDCnLo8/Uys2t9Nk-GI/AAAAAAAACCY/ASc-i4_NDJs/s1600/7.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Roughen up the areas where the tail will attach to bunny, then attach. I gave the tail a little more texture just using my finger nail, so it was not a perfect ball. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the knife again to lightly add "hairlike" texture over surface of bunny. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, the toothpick along the paws, for toenails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then bake in the over, following directions on the clay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2qOg1wVnc_E/Uys2vGbrMrI/AAAAAAAACCw/uDxlXLqqXjA/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2qOg1wVnc_E/Uys2vGbrMrI/AAAAAAAACCw/uDxlXLqqXjA/s1600/9.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now they just need somewhere to live! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I do, whether they want to hear it or not! I love this project because it allows me to combine my love of Aesop's Fables with my interest in discussing morals and ethical dilemnas with my children. What you do is use the spinner to find the Fable of the Day. (or week, or whenever.) Then you can use the magnets to set up the fable on the refrigerator or on a magnet board. Then if you want, you can talk about the moral. I picked 7 fables that happened to appeal to me. Some have straightforward proverbs, like "don't count your chickens before they hatch." Others are more equivocal like "a tree that is unbending is easily broken." I am looking forward to springing this project on my family as soon as Corinne finishes taking pictures for me. (The poorly composed, badly lit photos are mine and the good ones are hers.)<br />
You might find the 7 fables I picked to be not to your taste but fortunately there are over a hundred fables to choose from. Here is a convenient list of morals at the<a href="http://www.angelfire.com/sd/doomsquad/aesop.html"> angelfire site.</a> After you find a moral you like you can search for the fable and find it pretty easily online by typing the moral into Google with the word "fable" attached. Then there are numerous sites that feature fables. Of course, you may have a book of fables to read and mull over, which would be even better.<br />
Here are the 7 that I chose.<br />

To make your own magnetic fables you have to decide which fables you want to use and how you want to make the characters. I cut mine out of felt. You could draw them onto paper and laminate it, use clip art from the internet, or come up with your own original way to illustrate the fables. You also need to write or type the name of each fable and the proverb that goes with it.<br />
<br />
<b>Materials</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Artwork to accompany each fable ie animals, props, title of fable, moral</li>
<li>Magnetic printer paper</li>
<li>Craft glue</li>
<li>scissors (It would be good to have both big and sharp and tiny and sharp.) </li>
</ul>
<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRFWBiqzdug/UyhVYo4extI/AAAAAAAACPg/MVtr8qJY0M4/s1600/IMG_1423.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRFWBiqzdug/UyhVYo4extI/AAAAAAAACPg/MVtr8qJY0M4/s1600/IMG_1423.JPG" height="175" width="200" /></a>
<li>Take each fable and decide what you will need to execute it. I tried to keep things simple. For The Lion and the Mouse I only have the animals and a net. This is the same net that is used for The Farmer and the Stork. Many items like trees and roads can be used for multiples stories.</li>
<li>After you have your list make the items and glue them onto magnet paper.</li>
<li>You can hand write or type the title of each fable and the accompanying moral.</li>
<li>I made my spinner out of blank shrinky dink paper. I punched a hole in it before baking so that I could insert a brass fastener. If you have any old board games laying around with spinners it would be really convenient to just repurpose an existing spinner, or at least dismantle one and use the arrows.</li>
<li>The bag that holds everything is just a piece of felt folded in half and sewn up the sides. I bought two magnetic clips so it can hang on the refrigerator too. <b> </b> </li>
<li>Now, spin the dial and discover some words of wisdom to guide your day!</li>

I poured over all the information inside, and studied the illustrations. I would return the book, and quickly check it out again. This is where I learned all about Greek Mythology and really, never forgot it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just print them onto a sturdy paper like cardstock and then cut them out. Glue thin magnet paper onto the backs and you are ready to play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be making a set for the gods too, the goddesses were just more fun to make and came first!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If you want to learn more about the Greek Gods and Goddesses online,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Olympians"> here is a start.</a> Although I prefer the book I mentioned above.<br />
<br />
I came across this quiz too, and just for fun had to take it. I got Athena! (although it was pretty easy to manipulate that, I thought)<br />

Another forest scene with a path and tiny Little Red Riding Hood and one Big Bad Wolf paper dolls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to play with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was very simple to make.<br />
<b>Materials</b></div>
<ul>
<li>one small matchbox</li>
<li>decorative tape</li>
<li>paper (or photos)</li>
<li>drawing items of choice if you choose to draw your own. Pen, marker,colored pencil, water color, etc.</li>
<li>glue</li>
<li>scissors</li>
<li>ruler</li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Steps</b></div>
<ol>
<li> Just measure the cover and inside dimensions of matchbox to create the inside image and cover in these same dimensions. Use printed images, magazine cut outs, photos, or draw by hand as I did on paper.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

2. I used decorative tape to cover the edges, inside and out.<br />
3. The characters measure about 2" tall and were drawn on heavy card-stock.<br />
4. You could glue your printed images or photos to card-stock to give the paper dolls more stability.<br />
5. For the scalloped edge I just used scalloped edge scissors, and cut a thin trim. Glue it to the top edges of the matchbox, finishing it off nicely.<br />

We also like to make cute containers to hold these toys so that they make nice gifts and also can be stored neatly. Recently, I <a href="http://smallworldland.blogspot.com/2014/02/jolly-roger-pencil-holder.html">repurposed an old cardboard pencil box </a>using felt scraps and the Jolly Roger flag. This box is nice enough on its own for school supplies and as a keepsake box for your favorite wanna-be pirate, but I decided to make a little scene to fit inside and make it even more fun.This is a pretty easy project but it has a few parts so I will lay them out separately here.<b> </b></div>

pirates instead of fairies. I dressed mine in a variety of shabby fabric and felt scraps and added some messy
hair and facial hair and a bandana for one and an eye patch for the
other. I did not want the pirates to be puppets but to be able to stand
on their own. So, when everything is done you will want to insert a wooden
craft clothespin under the clothing and up into the ping pong ball head where
the finger holes are. You can then glue the clothespin into a
wooden clothespin stand (they sell these in bags at craft stores) and your little figures will stand up nicely. I should also add that for some reason I gave my dark-haired pirate vertical stripes. It would look way more pirate-y if the stripes were to go across his outfit. But hopefully you can tell they are pirates.<br />

<b>Treasure Chest</b><br />
<br />
I used a mini Altoids tin, some leather scraps, felt, and a little key and lock charm I got at a bead store. You could follow my example or come up with something different. If you don't have leather, felt will work fine. Glue the pieces on with craft glue. Inside the chest I glued in lots of beads and glitter and balls of tinfoil to represent the treasure.<br />
<b>The Trees</b><br />
<b><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QigzfJqQhtk/UwPGLFusHtI/AAAAAAAACKU/7DZqoBtvWm4/s1600/IMG_1341.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QigzfJqQhtk/UwPGLFusHtI/AAAAAAAACKU/7DZqoBtvWm4/s1600/IMG_1341.JPG" height="320" width="222" /></a> </b><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4oRxYWAVYr0/UwPE5CAX0TI/AAAAAAAACKA/c-WxYTxq_6o/s1600/IMG_1382.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4oRxYWAVYr0/UwPE5CAX0TI/AAAAAAAACKA/c-WxYTxq_6o/s1600/IMG_1382.JPG" height="208" width="320" /></a><br />
I made a banana tree and a coconut tree for my pirates. I painted craft sticks of different lengths brown then added felt leaves and either bananas or coconuts cut out from felt. I glued the craft sticks into a clothespin base so they will stand. I had to file them down a bit to get them to fit. I would also add that my banana tree is so tall it is a little off-balance and if I did it again I might make both trees shorter for better stability. <br />
<b>Swords </b><br />
The swords are probably the least successful part of my little play scene. You can do better! I used gold and silver polymer (Fimo) clay and shaped these little weapons and baked them.<br />
<br />
<b>More</b>... there is plenty of room in the box for additional accessories. I found a cute little bird and added that to the collection. Ideally you would give this to a child and help them make more stuff like more maps, more weapons, more pirates. A mermaid would be cute, too!<br />

I am making a little felt pirate play set. This first part of the post is where I show how easy it is to make a cute box to hold the pieces. The second part of the post shows how to make the pirates, trees and other accessories. The box is really nice on its own, though, and would just make a nice pencil box makeover without even putting the toys inside.<br />
<br />
<b>Materials</b><br />
<ul>
<li>felt- black, white, blue and colors of your choice</li>
<li>craft glue</li>
<li>plain pencil box</li>
<li>scissors</li>
</ul>

<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Cut out the Jolly Roger pieces from white felt.</li>
<li>Cover the top of the box with black felt</li>
<li>Cover the sides with the colors of your choice. I added stripes to the front</li>
<li>Line the inside of the box with ocean blue felt and add some waves if you want to</li>
<li>Glue on the skull pieces and let it dry.</li>
</ol>

Here is a useful little book you can make as a gift for a Grandma or someone else who likes to carry photos around in their purse to share with absolutely everyone they run into.<br />
I used some nice photos of my kids at the beach last summer and had them printed out as "wallet size." I used typing paper for the inside paper because it is thin and flexible and felt for the exterior. You could use origami paper for the inside pages too because it is really thin but do not use construction paper as it will crack. You can sew up the book in several different ways using either regular sewing thread or embroidery floss. <br />

<li>Decorate the cover of your book. I used felt hearts, buttons, and rickrack. I added my sister-in-law's name to one of the covers. You can sew the pieces onto the cover or glue them.</li>
<li>Make a little book by stacking the folded book pages inside each other.</li>
<li>Lay the bottom piece of felt on a table, put the paper booklet on top of it. Lay your cover on top of everything. Do not worry about the third piece of felt yet. You will use it later on.</li>
<li>After everything is really nicely lined up and square use a bulldog clip or clothepin to hold the pages together.</li>
<li>It is time to bind your book. I employed two diferent methods for my two different books. For one book I used regular sewing thread and a sharp needle and just sewed over the edge and through the paper as neatly as possible. This looks nice, but the paper may rip eventually.</li>
<li>For my second book I used a simple book binding stitch known as the four hole pamphlet stitch. Here are <a href="http://myhandboundbooks.blogspot.com/2007/06/alright-bookbinding-101.html">good directions</a> for how to do it from the <b>My Handbound Books</b> site. It is actually not as hard as it sounds, as you only have to poke 4 holes in the edge of your book so is quicker than the first method. If you enjoy embroidery you could use different stitches to hold your pages together, The blanket stitch would look really nice.</li>
<li>After your book is bound you can trim the paper edges so they don't show and trim the threads. </li>
<li>To hide the sewing on the back of the cover I glued on a backing to it. This is where your third felt rectangle comes into play. You will need to trim it as it will be smaller than the cover since it is not stitched in. We are not stitching it in with the pages because that would add a lot of thickness for the needles to have to through. You ay want to try including in the binding and see what happens.</li>
<li>Glue in your wallet sized photos. I used a glue stick. A scrapbooker would probably use something more elaborate and effective but the glue worked fine for me. </li>
<li>Now, wrap up your little book and mail it someone who will be very happy to have more photos of your adorable kids, or leave the book empty and give it to someone who takes a lot of pictures and likes to share them. </li>

Here is a fun Valentine you can make with an empty matchbox.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part is the surprise inside.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little diorama of arrows and a lacy Valentine heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qB2FnvrTi7M/UuV57W-GF3I/AAAAAAAAB-k/ATHOGuhrEdo/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+051+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qB2FnvrTi7M/UuV57W-GF3I/AAAAAAAAB-k/ATHOGuhrEdo/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+051+%25281%2529.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that is not all, one of the arrows is on a stick, so you can slide it from side to side to reach the bulls-eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There you go.<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YTMHheTGH58/UtQn2MOH-qI/AAAAAAAAB5M/nOV2lfgQX-U/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YTMHheTGH58/UtQn2MOH-qI/AAAAAAAAB5M/nOV2lfgQX-U/s320/1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<i>To start you will need;</i><br />
*an empty matchbox<br />
*some decorative tape and /or paper<br />
*scissors<br />
*glue<br />
*regular tape<br />
*toothpicks<br />
*a coffee stirrer and several toothpicks<br />
*card-stock paper<br />
*colored pencils/pens/markers<br />
*tiny brads (found in craft-booking section)<br />
*needle and thread<br />
<br />
So, take the them empty inner box, and start to cover the surfaces with decorative or plain tape and/or paper. I used the tape around the inside and outside edges, as it was pretty quick and easy. Then just measured the inside and cut paper and glued in side for the background.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TE4hnPArinw/UtQn12MqQbI/AAAAAAAAB5I/aWCf-s0iVHM/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TE4hnPArinw/UtQn12MqQbI/AAAAAAAAB5I/aWCf-s0iVHM/s320/2.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I poked a hole in the bottom to make a slit, with pointy scissors, and cut lengthwise across, so the stick will slide back and forth. You may want to cut the slit a little wider, but not too wide, so stick slides easily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Dv0l3UuwRtk/UuVtKm00cgI/AAAAAAAAB8o/GYmsKAYmNP0/s1600/decor+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Dv0l3UuwRtk/UuVtKm00cgI/AAAAAAAAB8o/GYmsKAYmNP0/s1600/decor+box.jpg" height="240" width="640" /></a></div>
I decorated the outside of the box the same as the inside, just using different patterns. Decorative paper on top, and then some striped tape on the sides.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jkvTjNedkGE/UuVvhDlwzrI/AAAAAAAAB9s/M_XaeMamXFU/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jkvTjNedkGE/UuVvhDlwzrI/AAAAAAAAB9s/M_XaeMamXFU/s1600/4.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the coffee stirrer, and cut it in half, to attach to the main arrow. Also, I cut out and colored a heart </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the bulls eye from cardstock paper. The heart just attached inside the corner of the box, with some glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For how to make the arrows, see below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g6xFGSmvpvg/UuVtFJ0BKQI/AAAAAAAAB8A/2ThkuNZcZTE/s1600/arrows+how+to.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g6xFGSmvpvg/UuVtFJ0BKQI/AAAAAAAAB8A/2ThkuNZcZTE/s1600/arrows+how+to.jpg" height="280" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used toothpicks, cut in half and just wrapped some decorative tape around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then using white paper, I cut to tiny triangles for the top, and glued them on either side of the top arrow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the bottom, I cut the shape shown on the left, and glued on either side of the bottom of the arrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6veGT-4Zlok/UuVtHXrCSQI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/cU6x0TDwqzU/s1600/arrows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6veGT-4Zlok/UuVtHXrCSQI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/cU6x0TDwqzU/s1600/arrows.jpg" height="236" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used thread, and tied around the center of each arrow, so they hung on strings...leaving about 3 inches in length. I picked one arrow, and taped to the end of the coffee stirrer stick. Tape was much more secure than gluing since it's all so small.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pf-C4kOIvW4/UuVtIV2i_RI/AAAAAAAAB8c/xiovT9o0cGY/s1600/sewing+arrows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pf-C4kOIvW4/UuVtIV2i_RI/AAAAAAAAB8c/xiovT9o0cGY/s1600/sewing+arrows.jpg" height="236" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To attach the arrows inside, I first took a needle, and poked a hole through the top of the box, one for each arrow, spaced evenly across the top. But not in the center, where the sliding arrow with go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I took the arrow, with thread tied to them, and thread it through the needle, and coming from the inside of the box, sewed it through the hole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1F_i9ZWxwAs/UuVtHR3ByNI/AAAAAAAAB8M/QRxH0oknBuY/s1600/pins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1F_i9ZWxwAs/UuVtHR3ByNI/AAAAAAAAB8M/QRxH0oknBuY/s1600/pins.jpg" height="238" width="640" /></a></div>
To secure the thread in place, I stuck in tiny brads, wrapped the thread around, and secured the brads in place. They were held in place pretty securely with just that, but I took the thread end's and tied them to the<br />
end's next to them, for extra security. (a bit of overkill maybe). Trim any excess thread.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NvScEdqLgCA/UuVtZI-kbpI/AAAAAAAAB9A/HF8bMu7n1eU/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NvScEdqLgCA/UuVtZI-kbpI/AAAAAAAAB9A/HF8bMu7n1eU/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+024.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
Then when all in place, the arrow on the stick will fit into its slot, and slide from left to right, to hit the heart "bulls-eye".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xzSyGfDYsXU/UuVtaSdGSCI/AAAAAAAAB9I/N-gn5GvI-JY/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xzSyGfDYsXU/UuVtaSdGSCI/AAAAAAAAB9I/N-gn5GvI-JY/s1600/Valentines+blocks+and+box+2014+029.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The arrows on the string, all hung at different heights, and they sway back and forth.</div>

<a name='more'></a> I love to make projects using wooden blocks. I made some cute decoupage fruit blocks a while back and so this time I decided to try to use up some felt scraps to make a cute set of Valentine's blocks. I got the blocks at a dollar store. They are just over an inch wide. To cover them I considered downloading a box template and just cutting out various felt pieces and wrapping them around the block. One problem with this is that these cubes are not exactly square so I got a lot of sagging and gaps using a premade covering. Also I think the blocks look cuter if they are comprised of several different felt colors. Either way, it is a very easy project and it will make a cute gift for someone special.<br />
<b>Materials</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Various pieces of craft felt in the colors of your choice. I used typical Valentine's colors like reds and pinks and purples but these blocks would be really cute using primary rainbow colors.</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Sharp scissors</li>
<li>Wooden ABC blocks</li>
<li>Craft glue (regular school glue will not adhere to felt.) </li>
<li>4 x 6 picture frame with glass removed. </li>
<li>Optional- Sharpie for stenciling</li>
</ul>
<b>Steps</b><br />
<ol><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_swv20Wql4/Ut6f5sswiVI/AAAAAAAACFg/hlLH5RJiyEU/s1600/IMG_1273.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_swv20Wql4/Ut6f5sswiVI/AAAAAAAACFg/hlLH5RJiyEU/s1600/IMG_1273.JPG" height="243" width="320" /></a>
<li>Lay a block on the color of your choice and glue down one side to the felt. </li>
<li>When it dries, trim the felt and wrap it around a second side of the block and glue down.</li>
<li>Repeat with new colors and other blocks until they are covered.</li>
<li>Cut out some hearts out of felt and glue them to the blocks when they are dry.</li>
<li>Line the bottom of the frame with felt. </li>
<li>Arrange your blocks in the frame. I found that I had some space on the sides but that it fit perfectly length-wise so the blocks stay in place.</li>
