I was asked by someone yesterday to produce a short tutorial on how to make an origami tulip, so here is a photo tutorial on making the tulip, as well as attaching it to a stem. I've taken many photos in an attempt to make the process clear. The photos are all thumbnails with the …

Origami tulip pot
Origami decorations are relatively easy to make. Once you make a flower, you can attach it to a stem made of florist's wire and florist's tape. Add a green leaf if you feel like it too. Here, I've made a bunch of tulips with stems, stuck them into a circle of oasis foam, and placed …
Origami corner bookmarks
When in a creative drought, I do a personal project called 'Week of...' where I take a simple craft and spend a week experimenting with said craft. It usually consists of making something new every day. You don't have to do a drastically different thing every day either, you could improve on something if you …
Sprucing up a kusudama
Kusudama (薬玉; lit. medicine ball) a paper model formed by sewing or gluing units together. Some origami artists dislike the use of papercutting and gluing, but I like them since they make lovely decorations. For 'true' modular origami, the artist Tomoko Fuse comes to mind. Kusudama balls (as they are commonly known as, even though the …
Belated Valentine’s felt heart
I left my felt and sewing tools back at home (ie. I didn't take them with me to uni) so I was not able to work on any plush-related crafts during my time away. I did promise a felt heart for my boyfriend on Valentine's, and I finally got around to finishing it not too …
Moonstone – “Silver lining”

Earrings – “Unchained heart”
Decided to do some quick pieces using the now-very-large bag of Swarovski crystals that I keep impulsively buying whenever I see it in stores. XD The colour of the red Siam hearts are just gorgeous, and it really stands out, so I paired them with a silver key and silver chain to give it the …
Carnelian – “Cradled Ember”
I have a huge backlog of gemstones to wrap. I always buy more stones than I can wrap in a given time period. =w= Anyway, carnelian is a reddish-brown stone, and copper seemed to suit it the best. I tried a slightly new style here, opting for more a pieces of longer wire strands., I …
