I tweaked the Michael's guide because I couldn't find the silver flower embellishment they used. Paper crafts: New Year's Party Hat tutorial Word to the wise, the hat template used isn't to scale; I had to make it larger in my photo editor. Most online templates are

  This is a particularly wonderful craft to do with children, no sharp tools necessary. Merry merry folding! Recycling paper : Origami Magazine Christmas Tree tutorial Materials: Magazine(s) Seriously, that's it. No, really. All you need is a magazine, or magazines plural. And two hands.

    Christmas card: a simple die-cut ornament tutorial My Christmas cards are finally in the mail this week! Yay! Hopefully, I do not keel over from licking envelopes (like Susan on Seinfeld).

  Well, not tacky.  How could something made from a paper plate be tacky???  ;)  Since using props is an easy way for children to learn to retell a story, I try to provide my kids with characters from their favorite books.  We all like to read the Tacky the Penguin series, so this was the perfect craft for us.

  Christmas crafts: Silver Snowflakes tutorial This is a very simple idea – remember making snowflakes out of folded paper? Here, instead of paper, I have used silver foil patty pans.   To make the snowflakes, simply flatten out a foil patty pan, fold it into eights and cut random shapes from the folded piece. Next gently unfold the patty pan and thats it! If you wish to make a string of snowflakes to hang on the tree or wall, attach them to a
