I took tutorials from a very good site known as http://www.origami-instructions.com/. This site gives origami instructions for each and every origami. Origami is an art form originated in Japan. It is mere folding of paper. It does not include glue or cuts. It is an intelligent form an art which is known to increase sharpness in humans. It has very well known benefits like increased mental fitness, decrease in depression and stress. Also it helps decrease anxiety. It can boost someones low self esteem. It is an essential craft for young children all over the world. It is more like a puzzle. Every fold is a link to other and without the use of scale a perfect fold is achieved. Learn this art, it will be a friend for life. Just remember that all you need is a square paper. Here are some of my creations. I was overwhelmed and very happy after seeing the result.           

Saw vids on Youtube and tutorilas for making a Chinese new year lamp. Here they are..... I used a waste paper which i colored with water color and had a pattern on them. I used waste magazine papers and colored them red with acrylic color.  oops!!! The staples and can be seen. Since this was an experimental project I did not decorate much.  

The hanger for my earrings... This is how i started... I used one of the embroidery rings.. Wrapped it with black ribbon.. and weaved the inside with blue woolen string like they do it in the dreamcatcher... Tied a loop to hang it...

I love lights. Specially the ones we decorate in Diwali. M boring room had to be updated. So... Thank you !!!!
