Christmas Origami


When I saw this tutorial, I needed to make one! Aren't they beautiful?


They are simple to make but you do need a little bit of patience or perseverance in the face of tedium/boredom. Each flower ball requires the folding of 72 pieces of paper. But they are totally worth it in my opinion. I can see so many variations in my mind too.


Today I would like to challenge my friend Michele of Michele Made Me to make one out of her colorful junkmail. Have you seen her junkmail snowflakes? They are genius. Get folding Michele! (I hope you play along. After all, I did play along with your tissue box challenge and the recycled jeans challenge...) Can't wait to see it!

  6. Oh wow! This would be a fun project to do with an older child... half the folding plus some quality time together. Thanks for the link!
