Origami decorating idea...

When my daughter was in her crib (3 days ago) the origami butterfly mobile fit right over her crib. We just recently switched to a big girl bed and so it is sort of out of place. I will be moving it soon over her little table.

Very rarely do I have a genius decorating idea of my own. Not that it has never been done, but that I thought of it and liked how it turned out. Although I feel my little girls room is still a work in progress, I do love the origami butterflies I used in it. Everything started with a blanket my sister in-law gave me. I needed to match the colors. The colors sort of made me think of a japanese cherry blossom tree. That led me to the origami.

Mobile:

1-2 long sticks bought at a craft store
Fishing line
Hot Glue
Scrapbook or oragami paper
Thick strong needle

- Make about 6 butterflies using these steps here. Sometimes it takes a few tries before you really get it.
- Now paint the sticks the color of your choice, cut 3 peices (2 same and one a shorter length). Glue the two that are the same size on top of each other. Then add the smaller peice on top (all peices should be crossing over a different direction).
- Cut 6 long lengths of fishing line. This gives you room to tie knots and choose the length I want. To attatch the line with the butterflies you will need a thick/strong needle. Thread the fishing line into the eye of the needle. You can string the butterflies however you feel needed. I chose to string the line through the right wing, the middle and then the left wing. I then tied the top together and it seemed to balance the butterfly really well.
- To add the butterfly to the sticks you can tie the line tightly around the edge of the sticks and put hot glue on the top to secure.

Origami in Frames:

For the shadow boxes, I created larger origami butterflies. bought 3 shawdow boxes at the craft store. Painted them the choice of color. (I used crackle paint to create the antique look). Placed the butterfly's in and secered them with a pin. Very simple!!!

The Review:
These pencils are incredibly smooth and give effects for both a natural or dramatic look. I really like how well the pencil blends. You can blend multiple colors together and can even create a great smokey eye look with these pencils. I have really enjoyed trying different looks and techniques with Pencil Me In Cosmetics. I learned that these pencils can even be used on the crease of your eye like an eyeshadow. In my video I show you how I did this.

Melissa and Doug review and giveaway!!! CLOSED

Melissa & Doug was started by none other then Melissa and Doug themselves. The business started in Doug's parents garage, but from customers support the business grew and has since developed into a much larger work space. Since all of their products are for children, safety is very important. Melissa & Doug does continuous testing through various phases of production. They also stand by all of their work and for this reason they leave their signature on each of their products. This year Melissa & Doug are celebrating their 20th year of business with many more to come.



Review:
This last year I had purchased a Melissa & Doug "wooden puzzle" for my son. This has become one of our favorite puzzles. My husband and I were very impressed with the puzzles make and durability. When I learned Melissa & Doug made more then just puzzles, I was really excited. I was even more ecstatic when I was contacted about reviewing a one of their products from the Melissa & Doug "play food sets". I was really interested to compare another one of their products with the puzzle we had at home.

My children were sent the "Pizza Party". Included was six slice-able pieces, a pizza cutter, spatula, and over 50 toppings all organized in an adorable pizza tray. Each of the pieces has velcro attached so that they can be placed on the pizza and stay in place while the children plays with it. This also gives them the chance to be creative and change toppings. My children personally love how the sides of the pizza include velcro. This allows them to use the pizza cutter giving them the feel that they are really slicing the pizza. We all have had a lot of fun making pizza and serving it to each other. Through this review My family and I have grown to trust the Melissa & Doug brand. I am excited to purchase more of from the "Melissa & Doug Food Play"in the future. I would espcially love to purchase this Melissa & Doug "Grocery Cart". I
give this review 5 stars for the durability, entertainment and value.


Be sure to check out "The Sunny Patch" line. This is a new addition to Melissa & Doug products. Here you can find kids gardening tools, watering cans, and other outdoor colorful apparel including rain boots, umbrellas, and more.
