Tutorial For How To Make Your Own Origami Paper!

There are 10 different designs in total which I showed in the two videos. I plan to make maybe one or two more before the summer is over. Obviously the paper isn't perfect - it's made with watercolor and acrylic paint, but it's a unique way to add designs to your paper of your choosing and it just looks cool. Tea-dyeing is also featured in the first video. I used regular old printer paper in each design so that everyone can create them because I know that not everyone has access to real origami paper.

Watercolor techniques + Tea dyeing

Thank you for your time.

Not only do I sew, another hobby I am dedicated to is origami. I'm certain that everything I made here I learned from Youtube, except for the one picture with the 3 boxes near the bottom.

These pictures are also in video form, and the links to the tutorials are in the description bar:

Newspaper dress + accessories


Not the easiest project in the world. I made this for my schools Sno Week dress up day which was DIY day/Recycle day. I had to make the skirt detachable seeing as I couldn't exactly sit in it. What is pictured is the dress (it's in 2 parts) and a belt. The skirt and belt are entirely newspaper, tape, and a few snaps for the belt. What is not pictured is my shoes and a purse. I also covered a headband, necklace, and earrings which are pictured.
