leaf art

I meant to post this earlier- a project done with the grandchildren. For a complete tutorial click here. These look nice hanging outside the house, too, or around a door, a picture frame, a wreathe, hanging from a light... And remember- as the leaves may fall from the tree, fallen souls may forget God, but Krishna never leaves us. He is ever present as the Supersoul dwelling within every heart.

Kartik Crafts

With the closing of Kartik, here's a pic of the homemade lanterns we made this year. Good for outdoor decoration, especially during Diwali, or as additonal lighting on the altar.




A tutorial for making tin can lanterns may be found by clicking this link.

UPDATE: More kartik crafts:

PAPIER MACHE BUTTER POT
Good for dress up as gopas or gopis or even monkeys in plays or when

snow flake art

This is a good seasonal craft for ages 7 and up. For an extra shiny surface, these were made from the seals inside a large tub of (Daisy brand) sour cream. Fold each round in half thrice.  Pattern ideas are available by doing a Google image search. Appreciation for Krishna's snowflake artistry can also be found online.
