angels decoration

I got this idea for a paper craft project from a pretty shop window display. It goes very well as a decoration in the middle of a table or a shelf. You can also make it from colored paper or add some drawings, but I think it looks quite nice just in plane white. Here’s a figure of an angel you could print and cut out to make this decoration. Hope you or your kids try it, it’s very easy to make!

Here’s last years paper craft project, a pretty Cristmas paper wreath.

So much closer now with googleartproject

Museums are so much closer now, at the touch of a few buttons. I spent hours and hours walking through museums these last few weeks in Amsterdam and London and now I find out google puts the most famous ones on the internet. The plus is that you can comfortably sit in your chair or bed and browse through galleries all over the world and get very good close ups on all paintings without having to wait your turn or make room for other visitors to stare. Of course you don’t have the same feeling as when you’re right there in front of the paintings, but still Art Project, powered by Google is a pretty nice substitute. You can explore museums from around the world, discover and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels, and even create and share your own collection of masterpieces on google art project. Some of the museums I visited, are available on the site like Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Tate Britain and National Gallery.

Make your own snowflake

flurrious.com is a site that allows you to create beautiful snowflakes. They also say that by sharing them with your friends, they will donate 1 dollar to the Make A Wish foundation. Because lately it’s been looking more like spring than winter around here, let’s bring the feeling of the season back by making some snowflakes. I want to see your creations, so let it snow with links of your snowflakes in the comment section!
