As evidenced by past Halloween crafts, it might be kind of obvious that I really don’t like scary decorations.
Monsters? Sure, but they have to be friendly. Bats – well of course, but only if they are kind of punny.
So when I saw this Spooky wall art craft, I knew I had the basics of a new door sign. My goal was simple – I wanted a good, graphic door sign that wasn’t scary. Continue reading…
This is the ninth in a series of twelve paper ornaments I’m making this year, one a month, so that when December rolls around I won’t be surprised I’ve done nothing about my wish to have a full paper crafted Christmas Tree.
Here’s another super simple and kind of sweet (pun intended) paper Christmas ornament. This one aims to be a mash-up between the Christmas Cracker favor from the UK and a peppermint candy.
This is the eighth in a series of twelve paper ornaments I’m making this year, one a month, so that when December rolls around I won’t be surprised I’ve done nothing about my wish to have a full paper crafted Christmas Tree.
I was worried when I started this project in January that I wouldn’t keep at it and get it finished. Turns out I may have set my bar too low – every month when I start to search for ideas to make a paper ornament, I have a hard time just picking one!
This month, I decided I wanted to do a reindeer. It’s a classic holiday animal and I figured there’d be a lot of good crafts to use as a starting point.
This is the seventh in a series of twelve paper ornaments I’m making this year, one a month, so that when December rolls around I won’t be surprised I’ve done nothing about my wish to have a full paper crafted Christmas Tree.
When I was putting up my glitter wreath decoration for July 4th, it occurred to me that I should do a paper ornament with stars. And maybe they could be done with faux glitter paper with a 3D effect. I toyed with a couple of ideas, and then realized that I was, as usual, making things more difficult than needed.
All I really needed to do was print and cut another two sets of stars – the red ones and the white ones – and then add a string at the top and call them ornaments instead of wreath decorations. Continue reading…
The entire month of July is a holiday at SuzerSpace.
We call it SuzerFest. Not so coincidentally, my birthday falls in the middle of the month 🙂 .
To get things off with a bang (see what I did there?) I thought I’d dress up the front door with some paper fireworks.
These are easy, and even kid friendly.
All you need is colored paper, toilet paper tubes, scissors and glue. I also used a little string and some ribbon finish it all off.
