Handmade Paper Stars

One of vase at our hose has potpourris into it. It has become dirty after long use, so mom wanted to discard it. She was wondering, what should be put into the pot. I offered to make some origami stars for it. I made these stars using origami technique (Click here for Origami Star Tutorial). I have used color paper, strips are 0.5" x A4 size. after making the stars, I have given it 3 varnish coats to make it more durable and shiny.


I have uploaded a video of these stars please have a look:

Paper Quilling Bangle

After making necklace and earring, I thought why not make a bangle. So this time I made this bangle only of paper. first I took some thick paper (brochure which comes with newspaper). I cut some strips and made round shape. (Bangle size) after sticking paper one over another a thickness was formed. This for the top layer I cut some color paper and wrap it over my base round. Then I used some 0.3mm white computer sheet and made quills then stick it over my bangle. This is my first attempt so finishing is not so good. Later on I will make some more bangle.

Handmade Rolled Paper Jewelry 2

My first attempt for this kind of jewelry was not so good. My jewelry set was very delicate and finishing was also bad. Therefore, I made another set with same technique. To give it more durability I applied varnish coat (2 layer). At the moment I do not have paper varnish so I have used wood varnish which works fine.
