Paper and jar Jack O'Lantern by The Creative Place
October is here and naturally, I have Halloween on my mind. I came across this cute glass jar and paper jack o’lantern tutorial at The Creative Place. It’s a great craft project for the kids and a good way to use up some of my paper and ribbon scraps! Click here for the full tutorial.

As a self proclaimed paperphile, I have a really hard time discarding unused sheets of paper. There are so many ways to reuse them! I keep a scrap paper bin at home that I’m constantly pulling from. But, as these things go, at times that paper bin piles up pretty high. This Recycled Scrap Paper Notebook tutorial that I found on Design Sponge is the perfect way to reuse some of those old paper sheets. We make similar notebooks at my Soolip Tree house studio. These DIY notebooks are so cost effective and useful. They’re great for jotting down grocery lists or as drawing pads for the kids. Check out the entire tutorial here.

I absolutely love this play day idea! Paper wings for kids to run around with, better than capes and certainly much prettier and magical!

If you’re in the Berkeley area, stop by the Castle in the Air shop for some great demonstrations this summer! I love this one by D. Sharp, featuring her paper ephemera bird.

There’s a tutorial by Lemmemakeit that shows how simple it is to print with a feather. It would be fun to see what other natural elements can be turned into pretty prints!

DIY Paper Crane Mobile by Papelhilo
A very pregnant friend of mine is currently preparing the nursery for her first child and I think this DIY paper crane mobile by Papelhilo would be a sweet addition! All the project calls for is twig, string, paper, and beads. I love the beauty one can create from simple materials.

This DIY Ribbon Pencil Holder project is sweet, simple and a great solution for all those stray pencils in your junk drawer. If you hold onto ribbon scraps like I do, have your kids dig through them and pick out their favorite ribbon. The more colorful and different, the better! Then follow the complete tutorial at The Creative Place to turn that soup can in your recycling bin into something functional that is truly table-top worthy!

Teacher Appreciation Soap Gift by Design Mom
I hold a very special place in my heart for teachers. They are unsung heroes and key to our children’s development and achievement. At the end of each school year, I like to give my kids’ teachers a sweet “thank you” gift as a token of my appreciation. I am constantly on the look out for new and inexpensive ideas, and I just came across a great one on Design Mom’s blog. Check it out! What teacher doesn’t appreciate being germ free? The label design is so sweet and is available as a downloadable template. For step by step instructions on how to make the gift, click here.
