A Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there! This Mother's Day, I had made a couple of newspaper woven heart containers (photographed only one though) to 2 special ladies in my life - my mom and my mom-in-law. These...
I love these little heart stud earrings that I had made recently! A wonderful hand-made gift for a friend. This was the first time I am trying out stud earrings instead of hanging ones. Well, I have made star earrings in the...
Valentine's Day - a very nice time to make origami hearts! So I found these easy hearts, which take about 5 minutes to complete :) I had intended to make these hearts as covers for a couple of boxes that I had, so I made them...
This month has been a busy time for me, as I am getting ready for an event. And here is what I have been working on.. These stars set in spirals are decided difficult to make! I wish there were some instrument that would make...
After the round wreath made from little paper rosettes, here is another wreath - this one a red, heart wreath. I had used red/brown sheets, cut circles from the paper and rolled these rosettes before gluing them to a heart-shaped...

A couple of years ago, I had attempted these heart boxes by Robin Glynn for the first time. While I had not perfected it, it still turned out great. So this time, with Valentine's Day coming up, I decided to give it a go again. This...

Trialling out a bunch of paper earrings, made from Japanese washi paper. I still have ways to go, but I think I have made a good start. I used predominantly green paper for this set. The biggest problem with making...

With Valentine's Day just round the corner, I found this interesting table card, complete with a little heart at the top. The table card is made from 2 pieces - a base and the heart. It was a little challenging to fold, but I...
Most origami boxes are modular pieces and to get a box this size, you would need really small modular units, which could turn out to be tedious to make. But this box is just perfect in size! One thing that I would suggest...
This super cute pyramid box is easy to make and looks different from the traditional square or rectangle boxes. This looks especially cute when the box and the lock are done in contrasting colours. It would make an ideal gift...
