Giant Paper Rose Flower If you loved the beautiful DIY wedding this morning and Nata’s gorgeous paper flower bouquets, you are in luck as Nata is sharing how she crafted them with us! She was inspired by a template created by Morgan Levine on Martha Stewart (as was I in the flowers I created for this styled shoot). I just love that this basic idea has inspired different brides to create their own version of giant paper flowers – you might remember these equally awesome giant paper flowers from this wedding I shared last year. :) Thanks so much Nata for sharing how you created your giant pink paper rose + special thanks to Studio Castillero for the photos of the DIY + her wedding! Materials (to make one giant rose) Step 1: Cut the petals Cut 5-6 teardrop petals and 15-6 heart-shaped petals from the petal colored crepe paper. IMPORTANT: Crepe paper is directional so it matters which way you’re cutting the paper. Repeat until all of your petals are cut Step 2: Cut the leaves + calyx Step 3: Make the rose stem

How to Make Paper Pencils (tutorial) I have always wanted to make my own pencils, but the thought of shaping two pieces of wood to allow a piece of lead to sit perfectly inside made me think it wasn’t worth the effort. For some reason I was looking at some pieces of lead I have (for a drafting pencil) and “pop” there it was.. a solution to my DIY longing. Here is a tutorial to make pencils that is so ridiculously easy I’ve made 10 pencils since the idea came to me yesterday! Enjoy. Paper: I recommend using 6″ origami paper. Here’s a video I made so you can watch me make it from start to finish! I have to admit I really enjoyed doing this craft. Hope you’re just as excited about this as I am! leads {here} paper {here} mod podge {here} {If you like pencils, you may also like my toadstool pencil craft!} Share 16K+ Kimanh Hi my name's Kimanh.

Origami Lucky Star Folding Instructions - How to Make an Origami Star The origami lucky star is fairly simple to make. It's a popular tradition to fill up glass jars with these lucky stars. Made this origami? Comment and Submit your photo using the comment box at the end of this page! Start with a strip of paper, about 11 inches long by half-an-inch wide. You can make this strip by cutting a piece from the long end of a sheet of computer printer paper: Now make a knot near one end of the strip, as shown in the next three (3) photos: Flatten the knot as shown, but don't crease it as tightly as you would for standard origami folds. Now flip the knot over, and tuck the loose end into the back of the knot as shown: Now we'll start wrapping the long end around the star. Now the second: Third and fourth: Fifth and sixth wrap: Seventh and eighth (final) wrap shown below. Now we've flipped the lucky star over, and we're tucking the loose end into the back side.
