How to make Origami Ornament Ball (Kusudama)

Have you try to do some Origami (Folding papers) work? Do you think it's very difficult? hard to do??
I'm sure you need practice at first, but once you use to folding papers, this flower ornament ball is a piece of cake!!
I found this tutorial on youtube, you need 60 piece of Origami paper (square paper) and glue. Oh, and specially you need patient!! ;) I recommend to use Origami paper because the color. When you fold some "both side same color" paper doesn't looks great, still fine but two color combination is much better.
I was cut the origami (mine was 15cm square) in four equally (make 7.5cm) and my origami ball size is around 11cm diameter.

Ok, here is the link...

kirigami magnet (Snowflakes)

New in the shop☆

Yes, this idea is from the last weekend craft. I used gorgeous Japanese Washi(paper) with gold, silver, black, red based pattern.

Blue and Green based magnets are 7.3cm square and yellow based magnets are 5.5cm square.

Kirigami(paper cutting) isa a variation of Origami(paper folding) where the artists is allowed to make cuts in the paper. The enables the artist enhance the visual presentation of the art work, at the expense of simplicity.

Tidy up!

More easy to see all the patterns from yesterday's craft. 

Paper & scissors

What you need to make like this pattern is.......

just paper and scissors!

Fold square paper to make a triangle, and fold again to make a little triangle, then fold again to make a more little triangle. Now use your imagination for the pattern and put a scissors in.....then open the paper......

Easy and fun!! Nice to do at the saturday afternoon :)
