Origami Horse
Today is Chinese New Year, and it’s the year of the horse! Thought I’d do something fun/easy with Post-it notes again. Happy folding and happy new year! 🙂
Origami Little Roses Kusudama
When I came across this design by Maria Sinayskaya, I just KNEW I had to dedicate a video to it. I love kusudamas and paper roses. Combine them both, and it’s just too beautiful for words! A wonderful gift for someone you care about. The modules are very easy to make, too, so that’s a…
Origami Pineapple Tutorial
This cute, little pineapple is traditionally made with red envelopes (red packets) for Chinese New Year as home decoration. It requires 38-square Red Envelopes/Hong Pao/Lai See/Ang Pau and 10 sheets of green paper. But, luckily, it’s great for summer too! 🙂 For tutorial purposes, I used colored copy paper (38 yellow, 10 green) so that…
Origami Lily
In this video, I’ll show you how to make a traditional origami lily. These are very simple once you get the hang of it, and they’re a classic, too! Plus, did you know, you can make it into an amazing looking LILY KUSUDAMA? 😉
Polish Star
This little thing reminds of a porcupine. Makes a perfect gift and/or home decoration & ornament! This is a traditional do-it-yourself project for Christmas time, and definitely tested my patience. It’s well worth the effort, though! 😉
Paper Treat Holder
Treats taste better if they’re stored in these. Really! Try it! 😉 I think they work (and look) better than toilet paper rolls, hehe. Perfect craft for Valentine’s Day, Halloween, and even July 4th (looks a little like a firecracker, doesn’t it?)
Origami Fireworks
Cool, “magic,” morphing, origami fireworks toy. Enjoy! 🙂 Designed by Yami Yamauchi. I’d recommend being very precise with the folds on this one, otherwise you’ll have a hard time assembling it. In the video, I used paper that was 3″ x 3.” A larger size (like 4″ x 4″) might be easier to assemble, especially…
Origami Piano
Those who know me know I have an obsession with origami and the piano (I didn’t play for very long, but that’s besides the point, haha). I think I love the instrument, itself, more than actually playing it. Naturally, you would expect something like this to unfold (pun intended). Here’s a very easy origami tutorial!…
Moravian Star
Ever tried paper weaving? If not, here’s your chance to learn! This beautiful, Moravian (German) Star is great for home decor, especially during Christmastime (and throughout the year, too!). For example, use red/white/blue strips for July 4th. You can also make this with ribbon (e.g., plastic/smooth kind); it’ll probably be easier with ribbon, since paper…
Heart & Crane
Everyone has heard of origami hearts, and cranes, but watch what happens when you put them together! Two origami staples in one! Say “I love you” or “I’m thinking of you” with a craft this year.
