In the spirit of Martinmas, I've come up with something to share with you . Now, I've never written a tutorial...so, bear that in mind as you wade through this long strand of mediocre photos and murky instructions. Hopefully by the end, though, you'll have enough clear information to create these lovelies for your own. So, you begin with watercolor paper that has been painted (and dried)...this size happens to be 11x15 and makes a lantern that is roughly 6" tall and 4" square. Any size rectangle will do, but using paper that is much smaller than this won't leave much room for a candle! To make the paper more translucent, use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently rub oil over the entire surface of the paper, front and back. I just used canola oil, and I've used olive oil before, too. You can hold the paper up to the light to see where the translucency has occurred and where you may have missed a spot. Wipe away as much excess oil as possible. If you feel like there is still alot of oil on your paper, lay it between sheets of clean newsprint, then between layers of newspaper and weight it down with a big book for a while. This will blot away extra oil. When I am making several lanterns at a time, I oil all the sheets of paper and store them like this. Skip this blotting step if you feel that you were able to wipe enough oil off and your paper no longer tacky with oil. On the back of the paper, mark a line about 1/2" from the edge. Fold the paper along that line To make the crease very flexible, fold first to the front, then to the back, then lay the paper flat again. Now fold the paper from the right, all the way over to the 1/2" mark. Again, crease the paper sharply, folding both to the front and back. Every fold we make must be creased in this manner. Fold in half again, up to the 1/2" line. Does your paper look like this? Now fold it horizontally in half. (Don't forget to crease it to the back and the front). Fold again horizontally into fourths. When you open the paper flat again, you should have 4 equal rows of 4 equal rectangles with that little 1/2" strip running down the left side. Next, use a straightedge to draw pencil lines diagonally across the rectangles from corner to corner...do this only for the 8 rectangles in the center rows as shown. Do the same thing going the other way, dividing those center rectangles from corner to corner. Crease the paper along these diagonal lines, folding to both the front and back as usual. This is tricky to explain, but not difficult to do. Here is another picture of the same action. Just fold on all the diagonal pencil lines that go one direction, then fold on all the lines that go the other direction. You paper should be looking rather like this. Go up to that top row of rectangles and fold it into thirds...like you are hemming fabric; fold it over a third of the way, then fold it over again. Now use scissors to cut along the folds that separate the 4 rectangles in the bottom row. Also, let's trim away a couple of bits that we won't be needing. Can you see that I've snipped away a portion of the 1/2" strip down on the bottom left? And also up at the top left? Here's a closer look at the top left corner...don't snip away too much! Now the fun begins! "Hem" the top edge of paper by turning it down and gluing it along the folds you made earlier. Depending on what kind of glue you are using, you may need to wait for glue to dry between steps from here on out. Bring the right side of the paper over towards the left. Glue the 1/2 strip (or tab, or flap, if that helps make this clearer) to the back of the righthand edge of the paper. Here is a closer look at that step...I like to slip the very top of the1/2" tab/flap/strip in between the folds of the "hem" to make a neat finish. Do you have something that looks like this? Let the glue dry before going on. When the glue is set, you should have something that opens into a rectangular tube-like shape. Here's another look from a different angle. This "hemmed" edge is the top of the lantern. The flaps at the other end fold in to form the bottom. Glue these as you fold them on top of each other. I like to cut a square of card stock to glue to the bottom. It makes it sturdier and gives it a more finished look. And here is another square of card stock glued to the inside to finish that, too. A heavy can or jar can weight things down while the glue sets. (That is the pasta sauce that I'm going to have to feed my family tonight because I've spent all afternoon goofing around with lanterns). Once all the glue is dry, you can begin shaping the lantern. This is why we folded every crease both to the front and the back...so we could get this awesome shape. Beginning at the sharp corner edges of the lantern, press the diamond shapes so that they pop inward. Work your way from diamond to diamond...all the diamonds should curve inward at their centers and point outward at their points. Just keep manipulating the paper until you are able to achieve this. And there it is! Just the right size for a centerpiece or mantle decoration...or a Lantern Walk! You can make a string or wire handle to thread through holes punched in the top edge if you like. A tealight candle can be glued to the center of the bottom of the lantern...it is quite safe. Happy Martinmas! Welcome Season of Light!
I've always adored origami, but was somewhat intimidated about giving it a shot. I don't know why I waited so long as it's based on some simple foundations and is incredibly addictive. I started one weekend and was so totally absorbed that my partner Robbie laughed when he came into the room and I was grinning amist a sea of paper. He grimmanced, "Oh no, Nadine has found another new hobby"! I knew immediately though, that I could make my designs easily in Silhouette Studio and use my trustee Silhouette Cameo to make all the necessary cuts and scores. These little lanterns are incredibly versatile. Here are some suggestions that friends have made on how to use them: Can be used as pretty party decorations and double up as party favours to house some chocolates, sweeties or small toys Add jokes and hang on a twig tree for an evening BBQ String as cute bunting decoration Lit up with fairy lights (make sure to spray with fire retardant) To hold clues for a scavenger hunt. Stacked vertically, they make lovely wedding decorations Use vellum or translucent acetate for garden lanterns Fold flat Christmas tree decorations Scaled up as a bedroom lampshade What you’ll need: Silhouette CAMEO Paper Free Silhouette compatible cut file STEP ONE: Prepare and Cut the Design Download the free cut file and open the Silhouette compatible file from within Silhouette Studio. Cut on the reverse side of your paper. Red lines are cuts, black are scores. To score, you can use the blade on a very low setting or a sketch pen. I used a sketch pen, thickness 33 on double cut. For thick scrapbook paper, I sent the score lines to the silhouette twice to get a good deep fold line. STEP ONE: Mountain, Valley and Universal folds I'm sure as kids we've all made accordian fans. This is the foundation of origami. A fold towards you is called a valley fold and one away from you is a mountain fold. Folding a valley fold then making it into a mountain fold creates a universal fold. Make univerals folds along the parallel running score lines. Then make mountain folds for all of the centre zig-zag scores. This should be easy as the back of the paper has already been scored, meaning it'll naturally want to become a mountain fold. I find the easiest way is to pinch the centre line and create the zig-zag fold my pushing into the point as in the photo below: Once repeated along the length of the centre folds, you paper should look like this: STEP Two: V-Pleats V-Pleats are where the magic happens as they allow the shape to stretch and become 3D. The angled lines are mountain folds and they allow the parralel lines runing through the V to change from mountain to valley folds. To create a V-pleat, bring edges of the V together, as shown below: If you turn the paper and look from the edge, the first completed V-pleat will look like this: Starting the first pleat is the hardest part, after that the paper will guide you somewhat automatically. Once repeated along the length of the zig-zag, the shape will look as below: The piece can be folded flat - a bonus for storage. STEP Three: Thread and Glue Flatten an edge and apply some doubles-sided tape. I find it easier to thread the ribbon through the holes when the shape is flat, so feed through all holes apart from the two end holes. Bring the two ends of the paper together, overlapping the last concertina . Feed the thread through the last two holes into the centre. DESIGN TWO: Double V-Pleats For the second design, a rectangular shape that has two sets of zigzag lines, I start by following steps one and two above. Repeat on the process on the second zigzag. The shape should look as below: The shape folds flat as before, but this time in a U-shape. Repeat the steps to glue and thread the holes as above. EXPLORE VARIATIONS Moving the zigzag line off-centre will create a pear-shaped lantern. Making the zigzags wider will make the shape longer, whilst a narrow zigzag will create a fatter lantern. The lanterns can be made fuller by cutting two strips and taping them together, overlapping by one concertina tab. Paper is the obvious choice for this project, however I experiemented with folding Silhouette vellum that I printed a pattern onto. It worked well and would be very cute with fairy lights.

Lucky Chinatown mall kicked-off their Mid-Autumn “Mooncake” festivities by unveiling the largest display of origami lanterns.
There’s a reason I am writing it. A huge reason. I am seriously thinking about making a T-shirt with ‘don’t tell me how to sell origami please!’ on it. Every second person that learns about my origami skills tries to discuss how I could sell it. If you think that happened after I’ve become a … + Read More
Da ich hier Produkte verlinke, kennzeichne ich diesen Beitrag gemäß der Datenschutzverordnung mit WERBUNG Geschenke zu Weihnachten für Freunde und für Verwandte selbst zu machen, ist bei uns fast schon Tradition. Wir kaufen auch gerne Geschenke, aber selbstgemacht kann auch mit wenig Zeitaufwand verbunden sein und ist dafür etwas ganz Besonderes. Ich weiß, Heiligabend steht praktisch schon vor der Tür, aber falls ihr noch nach Ideen für einfache, selbstgemachte Präsente sucht, hätte ich da zwei simple Anleitungen und ein blitzschnelles Rezept, die auch mit Kindern durchgeführt werden können. Bunte Windlichter falten In einem Magazin fand ich diese wunderschönen Windlichter aus Papier und da Julia unglaublich gerne faltet, zeigte ich ihr, wie sie diese Sterne aus Papier ganz einfach selbst falten kann. Für unsere Windlichter verwendeten wir zweifärbiges Origamipapier*, so wurden die Sterne noch außergewöhnlicher. Bei den ersten zwei Versuchen half ich Julia bei den einzelnen Schritten, ihr drittes Windlicht machte sie jedoch schon ganz ohne Hilfe: Als erstes werden vom Quadrat beide Diagonalen gefaltet, dann das Papier gewendet und auch die Mittellinien gefaltet. So lässt sich das Papier leicht zu einem kleineren Quadrat zusammenklappen (siehe Bild 5 und 6). Dann werden die Ecken an den Seiten bis zur Mittellinie eingeklappt (8-9-10) und die restlichen Spitzen abgeschnitten (11-12). Die vier eingefalteten Laschen werden dann jeweils ausgeklappt und an ihren Kanten wieder reingefaltet. So entstehen 8 kleine Laschen (16). Die Ecken der Laschen werden nun auch bis zur Mittellinie gefaltet (17-19), dann aber das ganze Papier wieder vorsichtig aufgemacht. Die Spitzen des 8-Ecks entlang der Faltlinien reinfalten (21-23) und das Ganze zu einem Deltoid zusammenklappen (24). Die oberen Spitzen runterfalten (25-26), dann noch die untere Spitze etwas hochfalten (27) und dann das Windlicht vorsichtig aufmachen. Den Boden noch etwas mit den Fingern zu einer Schale formen (29) und fertig. Diese bunten Windlichter sind für Schulkinder eine wunderbare Handarbeit und nicht nur als kleine Präsente schön, sondern auch auf dem Esstisch ein wahrer Hingucker. Perlensterne zum selber fädeln verschenken In einem meiner Lieblingsläden fand ich eine sehr schöne Idee: Perlensterne als Christbaumanhänger fädeln. Wir verwendeten Schmuckdraht* zum Fädeln, damit die Sterne mehr Halt bekommen, aber genauso gut geht das Fädeln auch mit Nylonfaden* oder mit einer Nadel und etwas festeren Garn. Für einen Stern brauchten wir 30 Holzperlen und einen etwa 40 cm langen Draht. Zuerst fädelten wir 12 Perlen auf den Draht (siehe Bild 2), dann steckten wir bei der ersten Perle den Draht wieder durch und bekamen so eine Kreisform (3-4). Dann fädelten wir 2 weitere Perlen auf, ließen bei der Kette eine Perle aus und fädelten den Draht durch die übernächste Perle (5-8). Zum Schluss kamen die "Spitzen" des Sterns, dazu mussten wir den Draht immer durch 3 bestehende Perlen durchstecken, eine neue Perle auffädeln und den Draht wieder durch bereits 3 bestehende Perlen zurückfädeln (9-11). Allerdings verschenken wir nicht die Perlensterne, sondern die Freude am Fädeln selbst und steckten dafür die 30 Holzperlen und etwas Draht in ein schönes Säckchen und legten eine selbstgemachte Bildanleitung dazu. Wenn ihr Perlen zuhause habt und so einen Stern zum Selbstfädeln verschenken möchtet, könnt ihr unsere Bildanleitung gerne hier herunterladen. Feste Handsalben selbst machen Dieses Jahr probierten wir selbstgemachte, feste Handsalben, die wirklich blitzschnell zubereitet werden können. Das Rezept ist denklich einfach. Wir brauchten für 12 Stück: 7 g Bienenwachs, 10 g Kakaobutter (aus dem Reformladen), 20 g raffinierte Sheabutter (z.B. aus der Apotheke), ein TL Traubenkernöl (geht aber auch mit Olivenöl oder Mandelöl) und ein EL getrocknete Lavendel (optional). Die Zutaten (außer die Lavendel) wogen wir auf der Waage genau ab und ließen sie über Wasserdampf in einer Schüssel schmelzen. Wir nahmen eine einfache Eiswürfelform vom Möbelschweden, streuten etwas getrocknete Lavendel hinein und füllten die Förmchen mit der flüssigen Mischung. Anschließend stellten wir die Form für etwa 30 Minuten in das Tiefkühlfach. Die kleinen, vorportionierten Handcreme-Stückchen duften herrlich nach Trauben und schmelzen ganz leicht in der Hand. Ich finde, solche selbstgemachte Handcreme Stücke sind nicht nur für Kinder spannend zuzubereiten, sie sind auch, in einer kleinen Dose verpackt, ein sehr feines und auch nützliches Geschenk für die raue Haut während der kalten Jahreszeit. * mit Sternchen markierte Links sind Affiliate.
