This is the essence of Pipii… the creative heart of the company. All suggestion and ideas are tested (you should see the state of my kitchen table) before posting them here and hope that you will treasure this page as much as we do. So when you are short of ideas, why not return here from time to time to see our latest crafty suggestions!

As we still have plenty of short days and most likely have more indoor than outdoor activity days , we bring you some fun suggestion on how to make a scrummy treat for the birds outside, some paper craft that you can do over a couple of afternoons which also can be turned into a lovely party takeaway gift or present.

We have left our beautiful and stylish paper angels (Mini, medium or large) from the Christmas suggestions on this page, as they are timeless and can be used as place settings any time of year. You can use any kind of hand made or pattern paper (leftover wallpaper) to make them suit your setting or theme.

Valentine and Mothering Sunday

This season also brings you Valentines day and Mothering Sunday and no craft page would be complete without a project or two for these occasions. Why not bake some scrummy brownies, use a heart shaped cookie cutter and place in our Valentine paper bag with print – use our template for this. Or why not bake some cupcakes and decorate with our lovely heart sprinkles or make some chocolate truffles. Just place in a kraft box. – add label. and ribbon. or string .and give to you loved one. Simple, quick and great for the New Year budget.

Or if your loved one does not have a sweet tooth make them a bag or box of bath salt or bath bombs. Perfect to warm any heart on a cold winters day.
