Hey Everyone! I just realized that I haven’t shared a “behind-the-scenes” post in almost 2 months! So I thought I would give you a sneak peek of one of my latest designs: Post-it(R) Note Origami Darth Vader Bookmark! I spent several days designing it, and originally, it was meant to be folded from regular origami paper, but since…
These origami boxes are perfect for candies, office supplies (i.e. paper clips, rubber bands), and all sorts of little knick-nacks. 🙂 Plus, they sort of look like monster teeth (or a weird venus fly trap) — wouldn’t that be great for Halloween? 😀 If you create these from a 6″ square, it’ll fit small Post-it(R)…
Recently I’ve been experimenting with non-paper crafts more than usual. While I still love origami, and will continue to share origami projects and models, I do also want to try non-paper crafts as well. It makes me happy to do new things every once in a while in order to spice things up. The last thing I want…
I participated in my first ever craft challenge this month! 🙂 Kim from Made by Mommy sent 15 YouTubers the same craft items to see what we would come up with. Other participants included my friend Mona from Craft Klatch, The Mommy and Gracie Show, SoCraftastic, and more. Some of the items included 3 cups, 2…
I’ve been fiddling around with this origami camel for a few days now. It was initially meant to be a horse, but I figured – hey, there are a gazillion horse models out there – why not make it into a less appreciated animal: CAMEL? It even has a saddle. Did you know that you can buy vintage camel saddles on eBay? Who knew!
So yeah, let’s show the camel some love, haha. Here’s my origami camel! It’s still in the works, but I like it so far. It also stands on its own. Horray for standing models! 🙂
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a DIY Mod Podge Flower Coaster using origami paper, mod podge (gloss & dimensional magic) and a wooden coaster. This easy coaster craft is a great way to recycle old coasters that you may have lying around (I used an old seasonal coaster), and give that…
I’m so happy to introduce to you a new crafty friend of mine, Mona, from Craft Klatch. She creates 2 crafty videos a week! In addition to creating furniture makeover videos and recycling crafts, Mona also creates a new coaster every Friday, and fulfills requests by randomly choosing suggestions out of a large fish bowl. She has…
I’ve always been extremely fond of Sonobe units. They were my first exposure to modular origami as a child, and I’ve been making them ever since. I love models created with these units because they’re sturdy without the use of glue. I used to make them, toss them up in the air, hit them against walls, and…
