Sigh, aren’t these earrings beautiful?
My various I-really-must-try-this- and I-really-must-have-this-lists are growing further.
;-)

Addendum of June 15, 2010: I got a nice e-mail where she told me that there’s a video with the folding instructions.
Many thanks!

I find Origamic Architecture fascinating and presented some time ago already the Origamic Architecture pencil holder, now I found more (although mostly very simple) Origami Architecture patterns which can easily be used for little greeting cards.
I could surf the internet for hours and check – partly really spectacular – Origamic Architecture ;-)

I find those rectangular folded boxes absolutely great!

Unfortunately I discovered them too late, but if you haven’t begun yet (oops! ;-)), they are great for an Advent calendar, too ;-)
But take your time, I once made an Advent calendar from similar, but square boxes (instructions from a book) and it took foreeever to finish it.
I use it nearly every year though and it is still beautiful ;-)

And apart from that you can still use them for the Christmas gifts, I think that it would look wonderful, too :)

Hmpf, they are kitschy – but I find both Panda brothers cute, anyhow ;-))
And you can find a tutorial, too.

But this is not for me, I haven’t even finished the paper folded bracelet ;-)

Origami Photo Frame

unikatissima Origami Photo Frame

Links of entry

A dear friend sent me the link to an Origami instruction for a photo frame.
I’ve seen several before which didn’t really impressed me, but of course I took a look at the tutorial:
I’m amazed!

My friend wrote that you can put a postcard or a 10 x 15 cm photo in a frame made of a A4 paper sheet and that a 7 x 10 cm photo fits in a frame made from a A5 paper sheet.
I find best of all that you adjust the size of your photo frame exactly to your photo in one of the last steps and this way you can even make it fit a not-so-exacltly-cut 10 x 15 cm photo.
What is more the frame is easy to fold.

What more could you ask for? ;-)

 

unikatissima Origami Photo Frame Here I show the back of the frame.
When folding you create an (amazingly stiff) triangle that serves as frame stand.
Here you can (hopefully) see that the photo frame can only stand if the picture is in landscape format, a portrait formatted picture has to be hung at the wall or put into a photoholder.

First I thought about making the frame from patterned paper but then I found it a little bit silly because you can only see the four corners on the front side.
