Origami Doll House

I'm in love with this adorable origami doll house at
Tuts+! The house can be big or small depending
on the size of the paper you use. This is perfect 
for days when it's too hot to go outside or you 
need something quick to entertain the troops! 

Flying Japanese Carp Craft

I love these flying Japanese carp made from toilet
paper rolls! Made in celebration for Boy's Day in
Japan, I think they make a cute craft anytime!

celebrating Boy's Day and the tutorial.
