I bought this book a year ago by Tomoko Fuse (布施 知子) called "Kusudama Origami - Hanakiriko" (くす玉おりがみ - 花切子). I can read what the Japanese says, but I don't know what it means! Fortunately, the book uses diagrams rather than explanations to construct models, hence why I bought it. Some of the models are pretty …

Rosebud and calyx kusudama
I'm part of a group on Facebook called "Origami Kids" (the group is open so anyone can view it) where people post their creations and/or tutorials on a regular basis. Quite a while ago, I came across a post about a rosebud and calyx tutorial (the tutorial creator and the person who designed the model can …

Birdie jar decoration
A curious idea, it involves taking a small storage jar and filling it with something that you want to keep as a decoration and not take out. This is because you seal the jar at the end to make it look prettier. Materials provided were a small bird figurine and fake grass. The rest of …

3D origami vase with flower
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 …
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 …
