3D paper diamonds Hello there. Hope you all had a great Easter! We had a lovely relaxing holiday (….well as relaxing as it gets with kids). Before I forget I just want to say a big thank you for all the kind messages you have send me regarding my book (you really are a nice bunch!) I’ve been meaning to get this paper diamond up for weeks now…but it’s taken ages to figure the template out (and I’ve been having breaks between each failed attempt). It’s based on simplified version of Satoshi Kamiya’s origami diamond. These paper diamonds are tricky to make (& require a fair bit of patience) so definitely adults only! When you have made your diamonds you can attach thread and hang them up. How-to 1. 2. 3. 4. Happy Monday all! Edited to add: A few people have had problems printing the templates (the dotted lines do not print).
DIY / Origami Lamp Depuis que j’ai découvert cette lampe en papier, j’ai toujours eu envie d’essayer d’en faire une ! Je me suis lancée ce week-end, et devinez quoi !? C'est super facile ! La forme n’est pas exactement la même mais le résultat est plutôt joli. Since I discovered this paper lamp, I always wanted to try to make one! 1 / Pliez le papier en 10 morceaux identiques de 5 cm. 2 / Pliez le papier en diagonales comme sur l'image ci-dessus. 3 / Pliez le papier en diagonales comme sur l'image ci-dessus. 4 / Vous obtenez donc 3 feuilles pliées comme sur l'image ci-dessus. 5 / Faites des trous en haut et en bas de chaque feuille. 6 / Assemblez les trois parties ensembles avec du ruban adhésif. 7 / Passez le fil dans les trous comme indiqué sur la photo. 8 / Et voilà !

Fold a heart page marker I hope you’ll whip up some heart page markers to share with those around you. It’s simply too easy not to make. Here’s how: Use a square piece of paper. This origami model is simple but versatile because it’s also able to become a 4-leaf clover or a flower by grouping 4 together, and hide a small item (like a ring) in front or even have it stand on its own by making an easel with the back flap.

V and Co. Stamped Envelope Liners Mar 15 by Joke Vande Gaer If you have ever lined 200 envelopes, you know it’s a tough and boring job. But, an envelope that looks pretty inside and outside makes everything more fun. And, if you are not sending it through the mail, you should stamp up the outside too! Materials needed: stamp pads, envelopes, tape and a stamp. Step 1: tape off the area of the envelope you don’t want to stamp (leave the glue line stamp free) Step 2: start stamping the first color – don’t think too much of where you place it, the more color you add, the more it will come together. If you happen to have a white stamp pad, I’m sure a black envelope with white dots will look stunning! Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
