Evidence Of A Successful Paper Crafting Day



Today I had the rare opportunity to take the day off and spend it with my dear friend Tiff for a fun-filled day of paper crafting. We had many projects on our list of things to try and this folded paper lantern was at the top of my list to figure out how to make. Tiff was also anxious to give this one a whirl as she loves anything having to do with paper. We had a tutorial that wasn't very good and we both struggled with it until we finally gave up and went on to the next project but as soon as I got home I tried again and this time I managed to get it right!!!! I love these little lanterns. This one is made from one of Henry's recycled watercolor paintings. Now, to put a little votive candle in there and it will be just gorgeous.


Then there are these....cool, aren't they!? They are actually part of a Geometry lesson I have planned for the boys so I was testing them out...and now I am addicted. Who knew that Math could be fun and look great too???

Oh I'd love to source something like this for The Brothers Trimm! Would you be willing to share? I would of course give you a big plug;)
