Three of my favorite things: reading The New York Times, making things, and paper flowers. So, it was pretty dreamy to make newspaper flowers out of the Times (so, reading it while crafting with it)!! These ran in their At Home section but if you missed it, you can find it here or in their app by searching "Turn the News Into a Rose”. The printable template makes it a super easy project!
Read MoreMy brother and I used to make marble runs out of blocks and his Hot Wheels track and it was one of our favorite things to do! I made this marble run out of recycle bin items like paper towel tubes and recycled cardboard for the new-ish magazine, The Week Junior. Have you seen it? It is a fantastic news and activity magazine for children aged 8-14. I am thrilled to be contributing to their How To column!
Read MoreFirst, I should say that I’ve stretched the definition of the word “craft” in the title of this post. The items here, vases, planters, and organizing containers, are simply plucked from the recycle bin, so, no real crafting!! (Unless you count label-removal…and by the way, Goo Gone and very hot water work well for this!)
Read MoreThese modular building blocks are a variation on the giant cardboard blocks I posted about here and are great use for smaller boxes! Young city planners can use them with their train tracks, cars, and other toys! I used a cut piece of a sponge to stamp on the windows and a half of a toilet tube to stamp the scalloped roof tile design (and another toilet tube for the chimney).
Read MoreMy friend, Danny Seo (who many of you know from his fabulous show on NBC and gorgeous magazine, Naturally) came by a few months ago to shoot some photos of our recent kitchen and dining room renovations for a story in this month’s issue of Naturally. I’m super excited to share photos of some ideas and solutions that we came up with for improving our small and awkwardly laid-out kitchen!
