Penguin Costume

Penguin, princess, clown, elephant and Pinocchio costumes.

As a rule, we seize any opportunity for creative activities. A good one is preparing Purim (Halloween etc.) costumes. It's also a good way to show your kids that you care, and has a great educational value, in my opinion. Even if they can't really participate in making a costume, children are involved in choosing a character, designing the costume and then see you gluing, cutting and sewing. There are also simple things they can help you with.

For this Pinocchio costume we just made the mask, everything else was found in the closet.

Thank you! I made a "sleeve" (one seam only) and closed its end with a round piece of fabric, then stuffed the trunk with foam rubber and sewed it on top of the hood. Hope this helps.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
