Gelly or Paint pens (I like Posca acrylic pens but sharpie pens could work), patterned paper (scrap booking or wrapping paper), pom-poms, sequins, whatever the heart desires! The cutting is definitely an adults job.<br />
You could cover it with felt and add cute felt candies. You--do you!</span></span></div>

This project is easiest if it’s made so that the cardboard bends with its “grain”, the direction the corrugation runs. Make scoring lines so that they're in the same direction corrugation too.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is messy- that’s why you’re wearing a trash bag to protect your clothes – you'll find that you need to brace the balloon against your tummy to wrap the gluey string around the balloon (notice in the picture my bag is too small).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Set the balloon on the bowl to dry <b>overnight </b>(don’t worry, you can wash the bowl later).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Along time ago, in a distant galaxy, we made origami frog valentines for my sons class with a little chocolate tucked under each belly.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Today, simple, fast and easy and no candy.<br />
I love my paper punches because they make projects like this easy to assemble. Punch</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> out the heart shape and add</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> the printed message "Hoppy Valentine's Day!" Use glue stick to add the message and glue dots to add the plastic frogs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Set up a production line!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The original idea included folding and stamping- very laborious and who has time right now?</span></span><br />

At one time I used an <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oc4M7GW5uNg/Wl0Ki4QCr2I/AAAAAAABGdI/AOtEwixDi6YaR7FVvP5eD9vnvy-B_KU1wCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/P1010565.JPG">embroidery hoop</a> to store more washi tapes but - it turned out to be annoying to use – so much fiddling to get the rolls off.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I much prefer this method: the Swing-Arm Pant Hanger and have used it for over 2 years. When I want tape I just cut a length off - or if I need to- I can easily remove the roll. You can find the hanger at <a href="https://www.target.com/p/5-tier-swinging-arm-pant-rack-chrome-black-2pk/-/A-12963467#lnk=sametab" target="_blank">Target</a> and <a href="https://www.containerstore.com/s/chrome-metal-4-tier-swing-arm-pant-hanger/d?productId=10033111&q=5-Tier%20Swinging%20Arm%20Pant%20Rack" target="_blank">the Container Store</a> (and probably other places but that's where I got mine).</span></span></span> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Holiday Tradition Tree is a custom I started when my son was very little. I made several trees for work but they were never published </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">so they floated around our home for awhile until I settled on one and it slowly became the Holiday Tree. <br />
<br />
At Christmas it gets little ornaments, at Thanksgiving-- thankfulness leaves, at <a href="http://kimberlystoney.blogspot.com/2014/10/halloween-black-bats-and-spiders-too.html" target="_blank">Halloween- bats</a> (obviously) and at Easter - little chicks. <br />
<br />You could put any number of different things on it year round: origami birds, fabric flowers, twinkle lights etc.</span></span><br />

A wood base: a wood plaque from the craft store works really well; they even have natural wood slice bases now</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Drill and bits (size depends on branch bottom diameter)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Scrap wood surface to drill into (just in case)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Wax paper</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Optional: Paint (spray or acrylic and a brush)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Determine the depth of the wood base - you will not need to drill through the bottom.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
In some cases, the wood bases already have a hole drilled into them for lamps but in general, it will not be the size needed to fit the bottom of the branch.<br /> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you’re creating a length that’s more than four lines of prose, you’ll need at least 50” of string but if you’re making a shorter saying, such as “I love you”, consider repeating it for the full 40”.<br />
<br />
<br />
I chose a section from TS Eliot’s Four Quartets. Your message could say anything from “I love you” to “Hey, I made this cool thing for you!”<br />
Regardless of what you decide to say, do a search on the internet for a Morse code translator-- there are several sites out there --then copy the code words into a word document and print it out.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Create a “needle” by covering one end of the string with super glue. It should dry quickly and stiff and the beads will slide onto the string easily.<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Add a small bit of tape at the </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">other</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> end of the string so the beads don’t fall off then start adding the beads to make the message. <br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I lost my place after about 10 characters; I recommend crossing the characters off in sections once they are on the string. <br />
If the string is not full when the words are done - add the “space” beads at either end of the string before tying it off.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Leave about a .25” of extra space on the string when the knot is tied so that the beads are not under tension when the length is twisted into a bracelet later.<br />
Tie the ends in a square knot - right over left, left over right and then add a dab of super glue to the knot to secure it and trim the ends.<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rsgCL4Ajgs4/Wic_lnMOWrI/AAAAAAABFRc/SoN34abbtDIVtCOm-G4OVX0yWeAvELg1QCEwYBhgL/s1600/Morse%2Bcode%2Bnecklace%2B%25289%2Bof%2B10%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Tiny Funnel" border="0" data-original-height="1456" data-original-width="1600" height="582" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rsgCL4Ajgs4/Wic_lnMOWrI/AAAAAAABFRc/SoN34abbtDIVtCOm-G4OVX0yWeAvELg1QCEwYBhgL/s640/Morse%2Bcode%2Bnecklace%2B%25289%2Bof%2B10%2529.jpg" title="Morse Code Beaded Wrap" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The beads can be worn as a necklace or wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet. If you have more advanced jewelry making skills, add clasps and crimps on the end fastenings.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Every pine wreath we've had on our door has dried to a brittle crisp needle losing mess within days of getting it - it gets too hot between our front door and the outside glass door so this year I decided to make a felt wreath that we can use for years to come.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is an extremely easy craft but it is not for the faint of heart. It takes a bit of time to make it so-- sit down with the pot of tea or bottle of wine and binge watch Stranger Things for an evening to make this incredibly easy felt wreath.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I tried a lot of different ways to cut felt ribbons. I even tried to make a ball of ribbon by cutting in a fancy one strip. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At the end of the day, I found that cutting strips with scissors or a rotary cutter is the easiest way to get what I needed for this project.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's been a busy season and I barely had time to whip up anything for my favorite holiday of the year- Halloween. These are absolutely scrumptious and can be made anytime of the year but with the addition of green food coloring and candy eyes they make delicious aliens Halloween snacks.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">After a career of teaching, making sculpture, and creating crafts professionally I started painting last year and, as difficult as it has been, I've tried to suspend judgment. I found it freeing to make things that weren't supposed to look like anything, to grab a hold of a color and press it onto the paper. And if it didn't look “good” or “right”--so what! I was just “playing.” Gradually, I’ve refined my focus to creating paintings that imply layers – like looking down into a frozen pond - while still maintaining a sense of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>joyful exploration.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">These studies are the “residue” of my experimentation. They’re pieces that have come out of the process of looking and wondering “what would happen if: I put a line here? I make a shape just barely touch there? How can I connect the shapes? These are my “little wonderings.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">It is a new path for me and I’m excited to share it with you.</span></span></span></div>
