Herringbone in the technique of Iris folding

1. 
2. 
   
3. Shall cut strips of paper in three colors. Strip width should be twice larger than the pitch, plus the allowance of 2-4 mm. For our step width of the strip is obtained by 22-24 mm. The very first strip should be slightly wider, since they cover the outer contours of the Christmas tree. How much should bands at once is difficult to calculate. Better to cut them during the work.
   
4. Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
   
5. Cut out five bars for the trunk of different shades of size 35h20 mm. Fold them in half.

Tutorial: How To Make Tissue Flowers

I currently have a project underway that requires tissue flowers. You'll find out more about that Friday. But for now, I thought I would share how to make tissue flowers. I know there's many ways to make them but this technique seems to work best.

Winter Crafts: Coffee Filter Snowflakes With A Message!

Coffee filters are great for crafting, and they also make perfect material for snowflakes, since they're already round! And while you're at it, grab some rubber alphabet stamps and some colorful ink pads and give your kids a spelling lesson while having fun too. I think the message on our snow flakes is mostly wishful thinking, since we are desperate for rain, but you never know! (Update: It is now pouring, yeah!)
