Tiny Origami Baskets? Yep.

These are shown for Easter but could just as easily be designed for anything - fairy garden, little legos, trinket holder, tiny stone collection... 
They are also shown as being created from an existing beautiful piece of paper, but I would encourage students to make a plain paper beautiful first - sponge paint, paint splatter, etc, and then fold when it's dry.

Tree collage (on book page background)

These art pieces are too wonderful.  These are spring trees but maybe could also be... haunted trees?  Heehee...
