Kitchen Table Projects

OrigamiAfter dinner, take the learning one step further and make a project with cultural significance.

 

  1. Learn more about Japanese paper folding (origami) by making a paper crane, which is thought to bring good luck. You can read more about the craft in “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” or watch a tutorial. See Video
     

  2. Help dispel bad dreams with a Native American dream catcher, usually crafted around a willow hoop. Go traditional, or make it simpler with an embroidery hoop or even a paper plate. See How-To

  3.  Celebrate like the Italians and craft your own Venetian mask, choosing the level of difficulty: simple or simpler.

  4.  Practice deep breathing before tacking this project – you’ll need it to properly play the Australian didgeridoo. You can make your own for less than $10. See How-To
