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!

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!
If you feel that they are too difficult try perhaps the previous Origami Architecture patterns or simple pop ups for a start.

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 :)

Looks great, doesn’t it really?
I always thought about what to make from pop-ups apart from cards – now I know ;-))

Actually a Kusudama is a whole ball made of those paper flowers, but to tell the truth I like it better this way ;-)

I published an entry about fabric Origami and about paperless Origami before, in this tutorial you can find just another way to make fabric Origami.
And if you don’t like it, make yourself an edible Origami crane ;-))
