Flower Origami

By Anonymous -
This week I made an origami flower. It was not too hard, and it didn't require a lot of materials. These are great to glue on top of presents to add some decoration.



Materials: 
- 1cm by 28cm strip of paper
- glue


1.  Fold the top right corner of the paper down. 



2. Roll the paper a few times then stop. 



3. Fold the paper back and roll it a little. 



4. Keep on doing this till you finish the paper. Every few times you roll, make sure you glue the paper together. This will gradually create a rose shape.  



5. Glue the end of the paper to the flower and you are done! This is super simple and easy to do!

    Good idea for a post. How did you manage to make these so small??? Perhaps you could do a post on what these could be used for? Good post nonetheless.

    This is super cool and I love that you can make them in all different colors. I am wondering if it would work to make these a little bit bigger.

      Oh, I should probably add that. The longer the paper strips, the larger the rose. Thanks, Hillary!

    This sounds really cool and hard to do. Can you make a multi-color rose?

California Trip

California Vacation         Usually, my idea of a perfect vacation is staying at home bundled up in a cozy blanket while sipping hot cocoa and watching a movie with my friends or family. This vacation however, my family went to California. We left Portland International Jetport and flew to Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C.. From there we flew to San Francisco International Airport. After staying at my uncle's new house for a few days, we booked seats on a 4-day tour bus.         The first day we drove to Los Angeles where I saw the Hollywood sign and the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the stars).  Although I don't believe her, my cousin claims to have seen "Diggy" from the show Liv and Maddie .           On the second day, we drove to Death Valley. On the way there, we saw the world's largest thermometer in memory of Death Valley being having the record of the highest temperature. Th...

Crayon Art

By Anonymous -

I used to love using crayons when I was little. I used to scribble everywhere! As I got older, I shifted towards colored pencils and soon my crayons were all stuck in some box that I never opened until now. Most of my crayons were broken in half (Don't you love that satisfying snap of a crayon? My 5-year-old self certainly did.), so I decided to snap all of them to make the crayons even. Materials: - 27 crayons (it doesn't matter if they're broken or not) - a blow dryer - lots of newspaper - a canvas (8 inches by 10 inches) - a hot glue gun 1. Peel the crayons. Yes, I know. It's a long and boring process, but it's worth it for the end product. An easy way to do this is by letting the crayons soak in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. The crayons are usually super easy to peel off after that . 2.  Arrange and hot glue the crayons in rainbow order. 3. Find some silhouettes online, print them, and glue them onto the canvas. I printed out...
