wanna learn how to make this kitty?
when the carla from craft: magazine asked me to write about vintage crafts for the "old school" column i naturally headed straight to my collection of hazel pearson craft books for a little inspiration.
hazel's "folded magazine novelties" is a big favorite of mine because it has the instructions for the turkey that bears more than a passing resemblance to the one my girl scout leader taught the troop to make so that we could earn our "crafts" badge. i flipped through the pages for a little refresher and knew that this just had to be the technique that i would write about for my first ever magazine article!
to learn how to make this kitty plus oodles of other crafts + to get the latest news from the world of crafts please check out the latest issue of craft: volume 5. i just got mine on the mail so i'm sure it will be on the stands any minute now. or better yet you might want to subscribe so you won't miss a single issue!
It's an awesome kitty! If you ask me, there are nowhere near enough folded magazine crafts in the world today.

I like so much what you're doing and all the post's of your blog.
We are always trying to find a lot of ideas, and I'm just trying to make an animal like that but it's not a cat...I can show it on may blog maybe tomorrow... (french hours)...
Like your blog . Go back to my bed, it's too late.
Bye.

When I was a kid growing up in the 70's, a favorite holiday craft was making a Christmas tree out of a folded phone book and green spray paint. I'm lucky because I occasionally get to teach a craft at the program where I work. I was actually thinking of making Christmas trees to use as centerpieces for our upcoming holiday party!
