Mini shelf of origami-filled jars

On Aug 13, 2013Jul 9, 2015 By IlyereIn Decorative Origami, Origami, Origami StarsLeave a comment

When I was in Cambridge, I came across a small fabric and haberdashery store called CallyCo. I wonder if many people knew about it? Since further along the street and in the more populated area is a Cath Kidston store, a very well-known store for cute items and sewing materials. I liked visiting both stores …

Origami pinwheel hair pin

This is the last thing I can share with you before I go on holiday for three weeks. I will be away from my computer for the entire duration, and also away from my workspace and materials, so it's not like I could make anything anyway. ='( I've always tried to make origami into more …

3D origami vase with flower

On Jun 2, 2013Jul 9, 2015 By IlyereIn 3D Origami, Origami, Origami FlowersLeave a comment

More 3D origami goodness! You can make a simple pot by just stacking rows of triangles (and use some glue to make it sturdy) and it is fantastic for storing things. I have a large pot made with a base of 24 triangles to store all of my gemstones that I need to wrap. But …

Jar of 500 cranes

On Apr 19, 2013 By IlyereIn Decorative Origami, Origami4 Comments

I find it somewhat therapeutic to fold origami cranes. It also gives you something to do when you have nothing else to do, or you're stuck and deliberating over a problem like I am. If you cut your own paper like me however, it will take you a lot longer. I'd say on and off …

Tutorial – Origami tulip with stem

On Apr 9, 2013Jul 9, 2015 By IlyereIn Origami, Origami FlowersLeave a comment

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

On Apr 8, 2013Apr 9, 2013 By IlyereIn Origami, Origami Flowers4 Comments

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

On Mar 29, 2013Nov 25, 2025 By IlyereIn Decorative Origami, OrigamiLeave a comment

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

On Mar 25, 2013Jul 9, 2015 By IlyereIn Modular Origami, Origami3 Comments

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 …

About Atelier Ilyere

The Atelier began in 2013 during college years when I was gifted a pack of origami paper. I have no formal training and learnt everything I know from watching tutorials and reading other blogs - hopefully this will show you how simple it is to learn!
There are some main focuses of the Atelier as seen to the right, but I always branch out and I'm always looking to add more disciplines.
