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…
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!).

Origami Heart – 3D Glittered Hearts
These are so cute! Place in a small glass jar to create home decor or a lovely gift. 🙂 HINT: Puncture a hole with a needle, and string thread through it, to create a Valentine’s Day garland, or a necklace! The more times you wrap the triangle around, the firmer the heart will be.
