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!…
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…
Here’s a quick video on how to cut a perfect star from a square sheet of paper. If you’ve been drawing it out [crookedly] and making multiple cuts, then you’re doing it wrong, hehe. 😀 This can also be done with fabrics, and is perfect for scrapbooks, quilts/textiles, and making the American Flag, haha.
Quick, easy craft to showcase candies, cookies, and jewelry. Larger paper = larger heart. 🙂 Creator: H.Vass Ildikó (with permission) HINT: Use felt for longer-lasting/sturdier results. 🙂

Wired ribbon will make the rose easier to shape. Satin ribbons will make the rose look more elegant. Insert into a…

For tutorial purposes, I used colored copy paper so that it’s easier to see on camera. 🙂 HAPPY NEW YEAR and happy folding! Wishing everyone health and happiness!
I thought it would be cool to have the elephant balance a penny. 🙂 This one is a lot of fun! Tape it to a card for a unique, monetary gift! HINT: You can shape the trunk how ever way you want (pointing up, down, inwards, outwards), as long as the elephant stays balanced. I…
This DIY $6 Money Origami Star will not alter or destroy your bills in any way. It’ll only make them better! 🙂 Works with non-US currency, as well. Makes an awesome gift if you plan to give money. I’ll be happy to accept one, all 100s, please. 😉 TIPS: Use five bills to make a…
This beautiful, dual-colored, 6-pointed, star is usually made with straws, but works equally as well with ribbons (or strips of paper)! 🙂 HINT: Use a longer ribbon to make a fuller star. Making a 5-pointed star utilizes the same process as a 6-pointed star. To make slippery ribbons more secure, dab a bit of glue.…
