What do you do if you want to make microwave popcorn but don’t have a matching container at hand? You fold a paper bag! ;-)
I like the idea.
And popcorn!

Isn’t this a nice book?
And it doesn’t seem to be very hard to make the chopstick binding ;-)

Paper Earrings
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!

Masahiro Chatani’s book “Monuments of the World” with Origami Architecture patterns is available as download and contains most beautiful patterns!

Paper Cut of Escher’s Relativity
Isn’t this maaadness?
This paper cut, designed after M.C. Eschers picture ‘Relativity’, is made from cardboard of about 22 x 28 cm without any adhesive.
And the maker has been so kind as to offer the diagram to everybody!
Thanks!

Folded Layer Picture
I find these folded pictures really great – but somehow I didn’t have the heart to make it yet ;-)
Somewhen…

Photo Kaleidocycles
Once I had the Kaleidocycles book from M.C.Escher and I even folded some of the kaleidocycles, but then I never thought about it any more.
Until I found the page where you can let make kaleidocycles from your own potos.
If you want to see a kaleidocycle in action, look at the M.C.Escher Kaleidocycles the middle picture.
Or look at one of the videos in internet.
You can also read more about kaleidocycles or simply look at photos of them.
But best is making one yourself and to ‘spin round’ ;-))

Paper Favour Bags
I found a tutorial for very nice favour bags which are seemingly very easily to make from common printer paper.
Perhaps I will use them for my next birthday (because I won’t marry in the near future ;-)).

Paper Flowers in Bottle Vase
That’s a cute vase that you can give away on Valentine’s Day, too, isn’t it?
If you don’t like it try one of the other vases here ;-)
I really like the paper flowers.
