3D Paper Snowflake
I found this 3D paper snowflake very impressing – and it doesn’t seem to be toooo hard to make it ;-))
Straw Marquetry
I never worked with straw before and the straw marquetry doesn’t look too difficult ;-)
Mainly it is straw, made softer with water, cut open and flattet and then glued on plain printing paper as parallel as possible.
She made two sheets, one with natural straw, one with straw dyed with batik colours.
Both sheets are stacked with a template and then cut carefully with an X-acto knife.
Then she put the pieces together as you can see in the tutorial.

I must say that I like this lamp very much – and it doesn’t seem to be very hard to make it.

I’m not sure whether I like the Origami brooch but it’s surely worth a try ;-)

Cupcake Wrappers
Ok, that’s surely no instruction but a wonderful inspiration: embellish your cupcakes for once with a beautiful border, cut, doodled (like the paper beads), stamped or what ever ;-))
If you want to make such a cupcake wrapper yourself, my online cone calculator could possibly be a help ;-)

Lined Envelope
I surely will need the tutorial for lined envelopes one day! ;-)
It must also look great when the envelopes are lined with colourful ads or the like.

Altered Books Simplified
One method to simplify the work on an altered book is to use children’s cardboard books as base. They often have the advantage, too, to have interesting shapes.
Once I began such a book (on the picture you see the original book).
These are the first two pages. I used amongst others (just as for the artist book) self-dyed paper, packing tape transfers, embroidery on paper and dried flowers and leaves.
Because of the embroidery I don’t immediately glue the papers in but I finish the pages first.
The following pages aren’t finished yet – just another UFO (unfinished object) ;-)
