Then I started to make my first bracelet last night. I thought it short so it won't take me long time but finally it took me many hours figured it out how to crochet. but I finished it at the end.

Origami mixed part I

I started making Origami last week. I have to say that I was fascinated with what pieces of the tiny paper could do. Thank you to barbabellaatje and talofe for great how to videos. And these are products of 1 week.

The Cube

To make a cube is very easy for starter because it only needs 6 pieces of sonobe. I like the second one, the white colors make it looks more interesting.





The Stellated Octahedron

This one also very easy. You will need 12 pieces. To fold this check this how to.



The Stellated Icosahedron

Icosahedron is little tired. It needs 30 pieces. I made it in 2 different styles. I like more the second one. Looks more complicated because the way to fold the papers. But it take same time to assemble it.

You can join the pieces up to 270 pieces, Which you make The stellated truncated icosahedron. But for me I'm enough with 30 pieces.





The Chrysanthemum Icosahedron Kusudama

This one use only 12 pieces. Looks good and very easy to assemble it.



The Electra Icosidodecahedron

I like very much this one. But it's very delicate. Don't hold it too strong.



The Sprung Icosahedron


I didn't like so much the sprung because it is difficult to assemble. No more Sprung folding.



The Butterfly Ball

It's very easy to fold, very difficult when assemble and very delicate. Keep away from kid's hand.
