So excited to have finally gotten my Cat Cult sticker pack in the mail this weekend! And check out the original artwork on the envelope, love it!...
This week’s Origami class project…parrots in paradise! The leaves and parrots are designed by Masato Ishikawa.
This week’s Origami class project. The clouds are a model found on origami club website.
The strands of rain are dental floss with hand-cut paper raindrops.
The umbrella is a simple fan fold.
Put it all together and you have April Showers!
I thought it would be cute to use this cloud as a paper version of the internet “cloud” service where you could store your rainy day ideas into the pocket and retrieve them as needed.
This week’s Origami class project: Mini Garden!
The lettuce/cabbage comes from a blintz base and then some folding upwards of the corners to create the 3D effect.
The carrot model is my own design. I put holes into the chipboard (which is covered with brown paper) so the carrots could seem like they were growing up out of the ground.
The tomatoes are my own design, too although they are a variation of a model which is probably already out there in Origami-land somewhere. The tomatoes can easily become strawberries with one less fold at the bottom (in case the students prefer them over tomatoes).
These are my design of Origami Holiday lights! Super simple and super cute, I think! :-)
They have a nice way to attach them to a string on the backside.
This week’s Origami Holiday Panda class project. The bamboo candy cane and leaves are my design. The rest are diagrams from Origami Club website.
This is this week’s Origami class project since the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration has a heavy identification with the act of eating. I used wooden chopsticks and covered them with washi tape. One side of the placemat has American washi tape silverware on it whereas the opposite side shows a placemat with washi tape chopsticks.
I used white tissue paper for the rice and the plate is my own design.
Yummy!
This is my Origami Witch design. I also gave her boots and a broom and she is flying over a big yellow moon! This is the final Halloween-themed Origami project. My students have really enjoyed making all of the Halloween Origami (and so have I).
This is another Origami class project, Halloween-themed. The center bat was designed by Sok Song and the black, upside-down bats are my own design.
I added some paper-cut stalagmites on the walls. If a LED tealight is placed upside-down inside the black bats the glow comes through the bats’ mouths and it looks eerie!
This is a Halloween Origami class project. I used washi tape for the *path* through the Pumpkin Patch. The crow is my design although I’m sure it’s already been done since it is so simple.
You cannot see it in this picture but I placed one of those small LED candles beneath the center pumpkin and I took it into the basement to see if it would work and it totally does!!! It looks so cool!
They would look super awesome as home Halloween decor! Try it, you might like it!
The pumpkin (and corn stalk) diagram I found on: http://en.origami-club.com
I used color copy paper so the Origami model would stand up well. The platform is poster board that I covered with color copy paper. The crows are attached to toothpicks and stuck into the foam core board and then I clipped the ends off on the underside so it would lay flat.
These are some duct tape wallets I made. They are super fun and you can customize them to any size, shape, pocket amount and of course, duct tape colors and patterns.
I added a velcro strip to one I made for my daughter and this is a nice way to keep it closed.
