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...

A nice DIY on pressed flower arrangements... (Mother's Day is coming...)

This video is useful for arranging pressed flowers. For MAKING pressed flowers, I would suggest taking a meaningful walk with a loved one, gather some small delicate flowers for a "bouquet", and pressing them using the microwave technique. I have a link to a video on microwaving flowers under "Additional Third Party Tutorials Here".

So fun! Dandelions from toilet paper rolls...
