Made by you: origami boxes

 I love seeing the things you make from my tutorials!
You are all so creative!! Getting your pretty photos in my in-box is so fun!!

 Alexandra, from Switzerland, made this pretty box using recycled newspaper. I love that she chose a blue page and made matching decorations. :)

My sister, Annie Carie , made these from holiday card-stock. I love how festive and colorful they are.

Janelle, from New Zealand, made these boxes from paper she printed from her computer. I love the retro designs!
Have you made an origami box, a felt flower, or any one of my tutorials?  Please email me your photos, I would love to share them with everyone! :)

How to make a doily

The images are pretty self explanatory but here are the steps.

1. Trace a circle using a cup.
2. Use large scalloped scissors to cut around the circle.
3. Use a hole punch to punch a hole in each scallop.
4. Punch another row above and in between the other holes.
5. Erase circle or flip it over.

And done! 

You can use this same technique in a straight line to make a lace strip like I did for the package on the left.

Salt dough christmas cookie ornaments

I made these gingerbread snowflake cookie ornaments out of salt dough last week. They turned out pretty good. I took photos as I made them so a tutorial is on it's way eventually. As soon a I find some more time. :)  Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving!
