Real dragonflies freak me out, but there’s still something magical and beautiful about them. This is technically “kirigami,” which allows for using scissors, but I call it “origami” anyway. Semantics! I take a lot of liberties. I hope it doesn’t make anyone mad, lol. I used a 6″ x 6″ square for this project, and…
Here’s a tutorial for the traditional origami turtle. Cute and poofy, a classic! I must have made hundreds of these when I was a kid. I still remember sitting in the back of my 6th grade class and making these under the table. It was just super addictive, and hard to explain. You really have…
Who needs gold, silver, and diamonds when you have…paper!

Today is Chinese New Year, and it’s the year of the horse! Thought I’d do something fun/easy with Post-it notes again. Happy folding and happy new year! 🙂
In this video, I’ll show you how to make a traditional origami lily. These are very simple once you get the hang of it, and they’re a classic, too! Plus, did you know, you can make it into an amazing looking LILY KUSUDAMA? 😉
