I made this from an ice cream box and some stickers I had at home, the gold glitter sticker was years old, but happily still sticky 🙂
It is the perfect size for my labelling pens and some card labels!

Iron Beads Fringe Chandelier
This is still a collaboration work in progress… I made the frame out of an old wire coat hanger and black tape. The fringes are made from “iron beads”. Each fringe has a different theme and some are made by friends and family or all ages 🙂 It even has some glow in the dark areas!
Play Dough
Made this picture today with Dan’s play dough 🙂
Bots!
Dan made these while under lockdown in March – they were shapes he made for maths and he converted them to little robots that can be used as boxes as well 🙂
Kirigami
Kirigami means cutting paper in Japanese (kiri = cut, gami = paper).
It’s a fun and easy activity to do with children and you use them for decoration or glue them on to paper or card, etc.
You can also use the cut out pieces for something!
Sometimes I like to make one where the kirigami is based on, for example, my whole life and each cut represents an event or relationship. Then the folded part represents your life in time and the opened pattern represents your life in eternity. Other ideas to try are things like just one day, a relationship or an idea!
