Readers’ Pics

This is a call to YOU, our favourite Folding Trees readers! We want to see what you’ve been making from paper. Join the Folding Trees Flickr group and add photos of any paper projects you’ve made – they don’t have to be related to ideas we have featured. And we might even showcase your work in the next Readers’ Pics roundup!

It’s great to see more of you have been uploading your photos to the group. This week, Eve’s kusudama tutorial has been hugely popular, and we’re already seeing some gorgeous kusudama in the pool.

Here are some individual kusudama flowers by rach_k07 (top) and Lyndi-G (bottom):

And some complete kusudama balls by monica teem (left) and Dknits (right):

Beautiful work! If you’d like to make a kusudama, take a look at Part 1 and Part 2 of the tutorial.

Also in the pool this week, some intricate animal origami from Himanshu (Mumbai, India):

We really do love to see what you’ve been making. Please keep posting your pictures and visiting the flickr group for more wonderful paper inspiration.

Wow! You posted my picture (I’m msg123–the leaf garland). Thanks. I absolutely love love love this blog and look forward to when I can tackle some of the more labor intensive and difficult projects. Right now I stick to the ones that my five year old can help with.

I think the origami bear is fantastic, I wish I had the dexterity to be able to make something so intricate myself.
