2020: Memorial to Joey - Title Page

Working on the Memorial to Spike, our Golden Retriever, who left us in September 2023, reminded me that I had an album and a bunch of pictures of our first cat, Joey, who left us in August of 2020. For some reason I never brought myself to finish this album, and I thought it would be good to do over the Christmas Break, as part of my reflection time for the end of 2023. Joey joined our family at…

Josef Frank Inspired Menorah

Project by David Stark:

Chanukah is most often a blue and white affair, sometimes with a little silver thrown in, sometimes a little gold. But in ruminating on the holiday, we couldn’t help but ask ourselves: “Why does it need to be?”

Now, we know that the bold, floral prints of Josef Frank are, perhaps, not the most likely of Chanukah inspirations, but that’s exactly the point. We turned to a pattern we love entitled, “Vegetable Tree” as inspiration for this vibrant menorah – the perfect pop of color as we move into the darker winter months! We chose colored papers and floral shapes influenced by the motifs and palettes found in the print and are thrilled to share this how-to with you!

We opted to make our menorah base. But, it would be equally as charming to use a classic menorah you already own and wrap the wire stems around it. Or, pick up an affordable one and paint it! (Thank you to Just Scandinavian for loaning us this great Josef Frank fabric!) ––David Stark

SUPPLIES

1” x 4” wood board (cut to 20”)

Coping saw (or other hand saw) and clamps

Two 1” dowel rods (either 36” or 48” long)

Drill with 1”, 3/8”, and 1/16” drill bits

Ruler and pencil

Acrylic paint and paint brushes

Red and white gel pens

Scissors and craft knife

Permanent glue stick or hot glue gun

Wire cutters

Bone folder

20-gauge straight wire (any color)

Various colors floral tape (we used: red, green, blue)

Various colors cover-weight paper (we used: red, hot pink, yellow, orange, blue)

Chanukah candles or LED candles

Craft cutter machine (optional)

PDF template (Link to download in Step 1 below)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Download the PDF template.

Using your ruler, find the center of the wood board and measure nine 2” intervals along that center line. Using your drill with the 1” drill bit, drill approximately ¼” deep holes at each mark. Use clamps to secure the board in place if needed.

Step 2

Using your ruler, measure eight 7” and one 9.5” lengths of dowel. Use your saw to cut each piece, being sure to cut as straight as possible. Use clamps to secure the dowels in place if needed.

Step 3

Assemble the menorah base by placing four 7” dowels at each end and the 9.5” dowel in the center. You may need to twist the dowels to secure them in place. Next, using your drill with the 3/8” drill bit, drill approximately ¼” deep holes on the end of each dowel. (3/8” is the width of our Chanukah candles, check yours before you begin and drill the appropriate size holes.)

Step 4

Paint your menorah! We painted a base color of dark green and added pale blue, turquoise, and grey dots. Allow the paint to dry fully.

Step 5

Use the template provided to cut out multiples of each shape. Or, use the SVG file to cut using a craft cutter.

Step 6

Using the red and white gel pens, add decorative details to the shapes and fold down the center or along each petal using a bone folder to press the crease.

Step 7

Apply a heavy layer of glue stick (or a line of hot glue) to the tab portion of each shape and press the wire into the glue. Once dry, cover the connection and the remaining length of wire with floral tape, occasionally attaching the wire stems together. For the yellow flowers, bend the wire and attach to the back of the flowers with hot glue.

Step 8

Using your drill with the 1/16” drill bit, drill holes into the menorah base and insert the wire stems into the holes. If you are using a menorah you already own, simply wrap the wires around it. We opted to keep our flowers low and pulled away from the candles. Be mindful of this when you are assembling. Dripped wax will not alight paper, but be cautious of the flames. We recommend if you are using this menorah with small children in the house, to use LED candles.

How to Create Images for Cricut: Quick and Easy Guide

If you are a regular Cricut user, you know how important the Design Space app is for your DIY projects. One of its key features is the ability to create your own images. To use this feature, you need to know how to create images for Cricut.

If you do not know how to make images in the Cricut software, don’t worry! This guide will cover everything you need to know to create your own images in Design Space. You will find 8 simple steps to follow, but first, I am going to explain how to prepare for the process.

Get Ready for Making Your Own Images in Cricut Design Space

Before you learn how to create images for Cricut, you should know what you have to do before making images. You can create images on the app, and to use the app on your operating system, you will need to do certain things.

You will need to download the software to your mobile phone or computer. It is the Cricut app that allows you to create images for your DIY projects. After downloading the app, you will need to log in with your account because Cricut needs an account for operating your Cricut machines. After creating your Cricut ID, you can now start the process of making images in the Design Space.

How to Create Images for Cricut: 8 Simple Steps

To make an image in your software, you will have to follow some basic steps. I am going to write down all of them one by one, and you can easily create images following them.

Step 1: Open Design Space on Your Device

To start creating images, open the Design Space and click on the New Project section. A blank canvas will appear on the screen. You can either upload a ready-made PNG file or start creating your own. For this project, a Free Sunflower SVG from the Design Bundles will be used.

Step 2: Upload Your Image on Canvas

Once you have opened the canvas, you have to upload the image. You should click on Upload to start uploading the image and select it from your computer. Later, you will turn the image into multiple layers. After uploading the image, you will need to select the Complex option, and then you have to click on the Continue button.

Step 3: Use the Magic Wand Tool to Separate Image

In order to learn how to create images for Cricut, you have to use the Magic Wand tool afterward. This tool will help you click on the individual pieces of the image after splitting it into different layers and then remove them. You can keep one color at once. As you can see in the image, you can click any portion and then remove it.

Step 4: Select the Cut Image Option

Now, you will have to select the Cut Image option. After that, you have to upload the image again.

Step 5: Upload the File Again

You will have to upload the image again. To do this, you must select the Upload Image button from the files again. After that, select Complex and hit Continue again.

Steps 3-5 need to be done repeatedly until all the colors you want are saved in separate layered cut file images.

Step 6: Insert All the Images

Now that you have all the images separated into multiple layers, you can insert them by clicking on each file. This will bring all the layers into your beautiful project.

Next, all the images are in the software. If some files appear to be very large, you will have to scale them down. A change in height and width will help.

Step 7: Change the Color of Each Layer

You can change the color of the layers if you want. However, this is very optional and depends on you whether you want it or not. To change color, select a layer, go to the operation menu, and click on the black square. From there, select the color you wish. Repeat the process for each layer.

Step 8: Click on the Make It Button

Finally, you can cut each layer individually on a separate mat. It allows you to cut all the different colored pieces on various materials. You just have to put the cardstock or vinyl on a cutting mat and cut it on the image.

Conclusion

You read the whole blog, and now you know how to create images for Cricut. It is an excellent thing that you can do in the Design Space app. By creating images, you can craft beautiful projects. To do this, you will need a device and the software on it. You can follow all the steps that I have written above in this post one by one. Once you are done with that, you can cut all those newly created images on your machine individually on different colored materials, and a beautiful image will be created.

How to Export Figma to HTML Code: Step-by-Step Guide

In the world of web design and development, efficiency is key. One tool that has revolutionized the design process is Figma, a cloud-based design platform that allows teams to collaborate in real-time. However, once the design phase is complete, the next step is to convert those stunning visuals into functional code. This is where knowing how to export Figma to HTML comes into play.

Understanding the Figma to HTML Process

Figma to HTML is the bridge that transforms your design files into a web-ready format. This process involves translating the visual elements, such as images, text, and layouts, into HTML code that browsers can understand and render as a website.

Step 1: Organize Your Figma Design

Before exporting to HTML, it's essential to have a well-organized Figma design. Ensure that all layers are named appropriately, and elements are grouped logically. This will make the conversion process much smoother.

Step 2: Export Assets

Start by exporting any images, icons, or other assets used in your design. Figma provides an easy-to-use export feature that allows you to select and save individual elements as PNGs, SVGs, or other common image formats. Remember to keep track of where you save these files, as you'll need to reference them later.

Step 3: Use a Figma to HTML Converter

There are several tools available online that specialize in converting Figma designs to HTML code. These converters streamline the process, saving time and ensuring accuracy. Simply upload your Figma file, and the converter will generate the corresponding HTML code.

Figma to HTML converters are equipped to handle various design elements, from basic shapes and text to more complex features like gradients and shadows. This ensures that your design is faithfully translated into code.

Step 4: Review and Adjust

Once you have the initial HTML code, it's crucial to review the output. Check for any discrepancies between the design and the generated code. This could include spacing issues, font styles, or any other visual elements that may need adjustment.

Step 5: Add Interactivity with CSS and JavaScript

While the Figma to HTML converter does an excellent job of translating the visual elements, you may need to add interactivity using CSS and JavaScript. This includes animations, transitions, and responsive design elements that enhance the user experience.

Step 6: Test Across Browsers and Devices

Before finalizing your HTML code, it's essential to test it across different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility. This step helps identify any potential issues that may arise when the website is live.

Step 7: Optimize for Performance

Optimizing your HTML code is crucial for ensuring fast load times and a seamless user experience. This involves minimizing unnecessary code, compressing images, and utilizing techniques like lazy loading to prioritize content.

Step 8: Deploy Your Website

With your HTML code ready and optimized, it's time to deploy your website to a hosting platform. Choose a reliable hosting provider that offers the resources and support you need to keep your site running smoothly.

Conclusion

Knowing how to export Figma to HTML opens up a world of possibilities for designers and developers alike. It streamlines the transition from design to code, saving time and ensuring a seamless user experience. By following these steps, you can confidently convert your Figma designs into functional, web-ready HTML code. Embrace the power of Figma to HTML conversion and elevate your web design projects to new heights.

7 Useful Web Design Techniques for PowerPoint Presentations

You’ve invested a lot of time and effort into the presentation and you want it to stand out from the crowd. The question is how do you get the conversation going? Well, there are several tools you can use to make your PowerPoint presentation look spotlight worthy that don’t involve adding arrows and cool fonts.

Having knowledge about how to design your PowerPoint presentation will improve the look and feel of your slides, as well as help you stand out from the crowd.

Here are 7 web design techniques for PowerPoint presentations that could help add polish to your web designs:

1. Use a professional graphic design tool:

You can use PowerPoint to create beautiful slides, but the program’s limited options mean it’s not the best software for professional presentation graphics. If you want to create something truly dazzling, consider hiring a professional graphic designer with experience in PowerPoint. A good designer will be able to make your custom slides look great on any device and in any environment.

2. Add images and videos:

Images and video content are extremely valuable, whether it is used on a website or in a PowerPoint presentation. Adding images and videos to websites helps boost search engine rankings and generate more sales. PowerPoint supports both images and videos. You need to put each file into separate layers and then group them by category or type.

You can also incorporate visuals into your PowerPoint presentation to make it more effective. Minimum textual content should be kept in a good presentation. This entails using visually appealing content to better describe ideas and support the message you want your audience to understand.

3. Make use of Elegant Fonts:

Good font selection brings out the best in your presentation and gives your slides personality. The fonts you choose determine how easy it is for the viewer to digest the information on your slide. What they see visually on your slide will stick with them longer than what they hear from your speech.

4. Limit the use of bullet points.

People aren’t interested in reading the text-heavy bullets on your slide. Remember that you want to capture and keep your audience’s attention. Reduce the number of bullet points and text on a slide and replace them with more visual content.

One way to highlight your content is to use icons. They make slides look more meaningful, communicative, and help break down language barriers because they are more intuitive. Professional and quality SVG icons can be obtained from a variety of popular websites like iamvector.

5. Use color gradients throughout your slides

You’ve probably noticed that all of the best websites use color gradients in their designs, from background colors to text colors, and even the logo! This is because color gradients add depth and dimensionality to any design, making it appear more appealing and polished.

Color will improve the effectiveness of your presentation. The good news is that you can create your own color palette or use one that PowerPoint already has. You can also change the color palettes on PowerPoint to match the theme of your presentation.

6. Make it Responsive for a Big Screen

The benefits of making your website mobile responsive cannot be overstated. Making sure that your website looks good on both small and large screens improves its chances of success. Otherwise, you run the risk of losing website visitors to competitors with more responsive websites.

Other platforms, such as PowerPoint presentations, also require responsiveness. Presentations are typically projected on large screens so audiences can view the contents. You must ensure that your presentation appears the same on a large screen.

7. Fluid Navigation:

Nobody wants to battle with navigation when they are online. A company can lose a lot of clients if its website is difficult to use. Web designers use simple and organized navigation to help visitors rapidly find essential information.

Elegant navigation is important for more than just web pages. To avoid disruptions during the presentation, make it simple to browse your PowerPoint presentation slides. Your audience may not understand your presentation if you can’t browse it smoothly, just like on a website.

Paper Mache House Ornament

Happy New Year! I am very excited to share with you one of my favorite crafts – the art of paper mache. It’s gooey and sticky and a whole lot of fun! It utilizes simple materials, many of which are already in our homes. I’m delighted by the versatility of this medium and the wide range of creative possibilities!

Today, I'll be sharing my instructions for making a paper mache house ornament. These instructions are easy to follow and produce a beautiful, unique result. Whether you are a seasoned crafter or a beginner, you’ll enjoy creating these memorable, personalized gifts. Now, let's get started on our paper mache houses!

Since there are several stages to this project, I recommend making more than one house at a time. This will allow time to dry the paper mache layers thoroughly while gathering ephemera. Plus, you’ll love your little house so much, you’ll want to make more right away! 

For inspiration, look at artist Linda O'Kane’s work on Instagram. Her hand-painted spun cotton houses are positively charming and unique, and have become treasured collector’s items!

To make sure you have all the elements you need for the project, I recommend gathering ephemera, book pages, vintage cancelled postage stamps, ribbons, and trims while the paper mache is drying.

It’s gonna get messy! But that’s part of the fun. Before you begin, cover your work area with kraft paper or newspaper. Also, tape a piece of freezer paper down to your work surface. Freezer paper is great because nothing will stick to it. You can also use the freezer paper as a palette for mixing acrylic paint later on.

Although the stage of adding layers of paper mache is somewhat time-consuming, it’s very worthwhile. Paper mache adds a soft, subtle texture resembling antique stucco. It also adds to the thickness of the house, softening all the points and right angles. And it adds strength to the house, making the ornament considerably more durable throughout the years (especially if enjoyed by young children!).

House templates courtesy of deliacreates.com *

white poster board or heavy card stock

masking tape

Elmer’s Art Paste  (mix prior to project) or homemade paper mache paste 

Aileen’s Tacky Glue

Mod Podge Matte

hot glue

thin kraft paper

paint brushes

printed ephemera, old book pages, vintage wallpaper, stickers, book pages, cancelled postage stamps, postcards, washi tape, Dresden trims, fabric scraps

rubber stamps

acrylic paint or gouache

metal embellishments, buttons, ribbon, velvet flowers

Stickles

awl or large sewing needle

bone folder

X-Acto knife, stainless steel ruler and cutting mat

gold florist wire (or very thin wire)

* Delia’s templates are created as SVG files, but can be scaled to the desired size and printed on a home printer. The houses I’ve made are about 4″ tall.  I chose not to cut out the windows that were included on the template. Delia’s templates are free for personal use.

D I R E C T I O N S :

1. Premix paste (or prepare an alternate paper mache paste).

2. Tear thin kraft paper into approximately 1” pieces. The more irregular, organic the shapes, the better.

3. Tear small 1” pieces of masking tape.

4. Cut florist wire, 1.5” long (1 piece for each house).

5. Loosely cut out the printed template pieces, scaled to desired size. Tape to poster board. Use a ruler and bone folder to score on the fold lines. Using an X-Acto knife, cut out the house, roof and chimney (Glue or tape together two layers for the roof to make it thicker).

6. Assemble house and chimney. For the house, begin by taping the side walls together first, and then the bottom.

7. Cover the assembled house, chimney and roof entirely with masking tape.

8. (Optional) To make the ornament hanger, use an awl or a large needle to make a small hole in the top center of the roof. Fold a piece of florist wire in half. Thread the folded loop through the hole in the roof, so that about ¼” loop is showing above the peak of the roof. Secure the wire in place by taping the ends inside the roof.

9. Tape the chimney(s) onto the roof. 

10. Cover the house with paper mache. Separately, cover the roof and chimney. To begin the process, dip the torn kraft paper into the paste. Hold it over the bowl and use two fingers to squeegee the excess paste off. Add a second layer of paper mache. Allow to dry for 24 hours, if possible.

11. (Optional) Paint the house creamy white with acrylic paint. Paint the roof and chimney the desired colors.

12. Glue background ephemera on to the house. This will be the base layer for all of the other elements you’ll be adding on top. 

13. Use hot glue or quick dry glue to adhere dimensional elements, like ribbon, fabric scraps, buttons and Dresden trims. Add glitter and gems.

14. Use hot glue or quick dry glue to adhere the roof to the house. If using hot glue, only a few dots are necessary to secure it. In order to get the correct positioning, adhere one panel of the roof, and then adhere the other panel onto the house. 

15. (optional) Finish house by brushing on a protective sealer, like Matte Mod Podge.

If your house is a gift, you may want to add a handwritten note to the base.

The book "Papier-Mache" by Sarah Hand is one of my favorites, and has inspired me to try so many different paper mache projects. Please check out Sarah’s Instagram and inspiring blog. Her second book, “A Happy Book of Little Gifts” is also wonderful! 

These sweet little houses make for truly charming and personal decorations and gifts, and are perfect for occasions throughout the year. And they provide a great opportunity to use up some of those collected ephemera and dimensional embellishments that you may have been saving. I love making these houses and seeing how each one turns out uniquely different. I hope you will give it a try. It’s a wonderful project to do with a group of friends! Please tag me when you share your own paper mache houses on Instagram. Happy crafting!
