Here’s a cute, little origami snail! Not sure when you’ll ever “need” to make an origami snail, but just look at it! What a brilliant, traditional design. I love making the shell poofy; it’s just so much fun – a little tricky without practice, but still fun. Paper magic!
Real dragonflies freak me out, but there’s still something magical and beautiful about them. This is technically “kirigami,” which allows for using scissors, but I call it “origami” anyway. Semantics! I take a lot of liberties. I hope it doesn’t make anyone mad, lol. I used a 6″ x 6″ square for this project, and…
Classic origami butterfly. Never gets old! Perfect for the warming weather. 🙂
Here’s a wonderful little orb for decoration. Reminds me of an Easter egg, so I’ll file this under “Easter crafts.” 🙂 HINT: In this video, I made 8 arches, but you can opt to cut more if you want your orb to stretch lower to the ground, and to be more elongated, in general. It’ll…
This tutorial will show you how to fold an origami dove / bird. I have this model taped to a message cork board in my room. I don’t make these very often, but when I do, I like to treasure when and put it on display – even though it’s a “simpler” model. Hope this…
Irresistibly cute paper bows. Great for gifts. Lovely with scrapbook paper, leftover wrapping paper, or old magazine pages. 🙂
The dragon is a highly requested tutorial, so I thought I’ll make one for you guys! Won’t mix well with fire. 🙂 I personally really like how it turned out with the orange/yellow paper (but I’m also a little biased, haha). I purchased the paper from Michaels, by the way. A lot of you have…
Here’s a tutorial for the traditional origami turtle. Cute and poofy, a classic! I must have made hundreds of these when I was a kid. I still remember sitting in the back of my 6th grade class and making these under the table. It was just super addictive, and hard to explain. You really have…
Who needs gold, silver, and diamonds when you have…paper! Well, you know what I mean. 😉 I used a snowflake sticker for this ring because, honestly, it was really the only pretty-looking sticker I had lying around. I don’t play with stickers much anymore, but I used to collect (and trade!) them in my Hello…
Father’s Day is coming up! Here’s a fun, quick & easy idea to attach to a Father’s Day card. I love making 2D models and then gluing them to card stock. 🙂
