Triangle origami box

Hello bloggists and welcome.

I love paper.   I just do!  There's something very satisfying about taking a sheet of it and turning it into something-a greeting card,  a box, a flower... 

At one time, I was very interested in origami.   It's a fascinating subject and I was very intrigued at the way folding pieces of paper could create models of animals or boxes or just elegant shapes.  It doesn't need much equipment or take up much room.  You begin with the very easy folds and then progress to the more complex.

Today's project is a very simple fold.  It's modular origami, where a number of simple pieces lock together to create a more complex piece.

Here's how it goes together -

You can vary the size just by using smaller or larger squares of paper and tiny boxes made from shiny paper would make cute tree ornaments  (it's never too early to start planning for Christmas,  right?)

And on that happy note, I'll sign off!

Hello bloggists and welcome to my blog.

Have you seen the new Annual Catalogue yet?  Have you got your copy?  It’s so good to be able to share what’s inside it at last, after weeks of teasing you with sneak peeks.

Demonstrators get to see the catalogue ahead of everyone else and we can order some items ahead of time, but not everything, so I’ve been waiting just as eagerly as you have for the new catalogue to go live so I could get my order in.

However, among the items that we could pre-order are the Sweet and Sassy Heart framelits, I’ve really missed using the hearts framelits that SU used to sell (that retired last year) so I you can bet that I put my order in at the earliest possible moment.

Here’s the first card I made with them.

Hope you enjoyed – and see you again soon!
