Woven Mat

Difficulty Level: Medium

You can make this mat out of duct tape, paper, or fabric, and use it as a checkers board or put two together to make a bag. The possibilities are endless!!! All you have to do is get the strips and weave them together This mat was made out of duct tape. I used 10 strips of one color and 10 of the other. Then I took a long strip of tape and stuck the ends of five of each color in a coordinating pattern. I did the same with the other five of each, put two of the ends together at right angles, and began to weave in an under-over pattern. I used tape to hold the ends together on both sides as well. It's pretty easy, but a bit time-consuming to weave all the strips together. Still, the outcome is awesome!

Origami Lily

I made this for a friend out of some music paper, but first I had to snag a picture! A video tutorial is coming very soon!

How To Fold A Simple Origami Rose

Difficulty Level: Easy

There's lots of fancy, complicated origami flowers, but this is one of the easiest. All you'll need is a square piece of paper!

 Fold the paper in half lengthwise, then again, so that you end up with a small square.

 Now unfold it. There should be a + sign in the middle of the paper.

 Fold one corner of the paper down so that the very tip touches the point where the two lines intersect.

 Do the same thing with the other three corners.

 Then fold in each corner again, so that it looks like this.

 And, (last time!) fold in each corner again.

 Fold out each corner slightly like it shows in the corner. It shouldn't be completely flat out.

Then fold out the next bits inside the same way.

 And finally, the last ones. Here you have it- a simple origami rose!
