Origami Love....

I was asked how I made my origami hearts. I hardly ever use Youtube but there are times when I have just ventured by through links people post on their blogs and then ended up staying to look up other things which resulted in me creating something out of the experience....

I used this video to create these....

With the flappy bit at the back it was so easy just to slip the lollipop stick under and it looked like it was part of it.

This video I used to create the hearts that I made recently. They are so neat once made and look great too.

And of course I have to finish with this one since I'm on the topic of origami as on Instagram I had so many people ask me how to make lucky stars.

My addiction...

I was meant to post this yesterday but Flickr for the first time since I had it wasn't working...typical don't you think which is why I'm posting it today. I hope that you found it helpful.

 

What Origami items have you made?

With Love....

On Instagram I have received a couple of offers from people to write letters but unfortunately I haven't been able to take people up on it as I worry about not being able to write back. One person though I decided to become a postcard pen-friend with as I've read about it on a few blogs and liked the idea. We agreed to create our own postcards but to send them in an envelope which meant I also had to decorate that which is fun.

As you can see I decided to follow the theme of what I created for make my day with this one too as I was having so much fun. I can't wait to think of new themes to create for her if she decides to continue with these exchanges.

This postcard is smaller then the ones I created for make my day but it didn't matter with the word being shorter... I nearly cut up these tickets to remove the words but now I'm glad that I waited before doing it. I really wanted the tickets but didn't like the choice of words on them which I didn't pay so much attention to when buying it. These rubber stamps are now half price compared to when I bought it (£3 a complete bargain if you ask me). I have since bought some blank tickets so won't be chopping these ones up.

I managed to squeeze only a small amount on the back about myself which was hard as I'm used to rambling for England in my letters but it also makes it quite a challenge to see what unfolds over time in our postcards.

I decided to go a little further and add some extra love in the envelope with these origami hearts and some half made origami lucky stars which she'll have to squeeze herself to create the stars. All those stars are one of each design of my paper strips that I own. I will soon need to buy some more strips as I'm starting to run low but I'll wait some time before doing that as it will only tempt me into buying some stationery from Janet Stores.

 

If this goes well that I may ask some of you if you'd like to do a handmade postcard exchange too on a regular basis.

Do you do a regular postcard  exchange?
