Good Morning, If you are new to this post, welcome, I am glad you are here. If you are a return visitors, I am glad you are back again. Please respect my time and my willing to share. If you made the origami bow using this tutorial and you have either one of these facebook, yahoo group, blog, twitter and others please share the link to this tutorial. Sharing is what making blogging fun. I saw this origami bow tutorial here. However, it was in another language and many of you needed a written tutorial plus pictures tutorial, so here it is. A 3" x 3" paper would make a nice bow for greeting cards. I used 4" square for the bows that I made for the cake here. A thin pattern paper would make a beautiful bow. If you are using double side pattern paper place the side that you want down. Mountain fold horizontally, crease well, then unfold. Rotate 90 degree mountain fold, crease well and unfold. you should have this. Flip the paper over, valley fold diagonally, crease well, and unfold. Rotate 90 degree valley fold, crease well and unfold. You should have this: 2 mountain fold lines that looked like a plus sign. And 2 valley folds that looked like an "X". Follow the creased lines and fold your paper like this Press it down and fold the "closed" side about 1/2" down like the picture below, crease well. Open your paper completely like shown. As you can see there is a small square in the center and the creased lines are not the same. You are going to mountain fold those lines or the small square. like this refold the paper like the 7th picture above except you will push the small square down like this you paper now should look like this with two layers. fold the top corners down like this turn the paper over and repeat you are going to open the paper, making sure your folds (small square) stays in place. it should look like this after you opened the paper. Turn the paper over, make sure you place your paper like in the photo. Cut at the fold (where the black lines are.) After the cut you should be able to move the two pieces up and down. These two pieces will be the bow tails. Fold the top piece down and fold the edges of the side pieces down like shown fold the other edges up and over lab the previous fold a bit. now working on the bow tails, fold the edges in then cut both pieces at the center where the black line is (make sure don't cut the small square on the bottom) then fold it like shown turn it over fold the bow tip under the center square cut the bow tails and you are done! It wasn't too hard right! I was in a rush putting this tutorial together so some phrase might not be clear but I was hopping the pictures will help. I just reopened my ETSY SHOP. I will be adding more new items soon. Thanks for looking. Helen

It's time for another Merry Monday, and today I have cute, easy card for you: The new Gift Wrapped Bundle includes a stamp set with lots of bows, and a coordinating punch - and you will save 10% when purchasing them together. This card was produced quickly - I stamped the bow with Real Red ink, and punched it with the Bow Builder Punch. The "ribbon" is just two strips of Real Red cardstock, embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, and crossed over the Plaid Tidings patterned paper. The greeting was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink, and flagged with the Banners Pick-a-Punch. I finished off my card with a few Red Rhinestones - what could be easier? This may be my go-to Christmas card this year; it would be so easy to make duplicates! The August - December 2020 Mini Catalog (aka Holiday Mini) goes live tomorrow, August 4th!

Home made plant paper. Green recycled paper with real grass. This textured and decorate homemade paper is perfect for small gift wrap. Great for art and craft projects. Please choose variations (1, 4 or 8 sheets) One sheet size: 23x23 cm. (9 x9, inch) Each sheet of paper is unique because it is handmade. You can see and feel the texture of the dried grasses. Yes, there really is real grass! The paper with real dried grasses or flowers and plants is my own creation. I have devised a special method of producing paper with dried plants. My paper is thin and little glossy but strong and has light permeability. That way the flowers and plants are well seen. Each sheet of paper is unique because it is handmade. Natural plants and flowers may change color over time. One sheet could be a small gift wrapping paper. Paper sheets can be added together to have a larger gift paper. This paper is not suitable for writing or drawing. This paper is perfect for art and craft projects. This paper will be great for making paper garlands, scrapbook, bookbinding, making greeting cards... If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me.
