Origami X-Wing

 x-wing

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, when I saw the instructions for an X-wing origami model [via @avgjanecrafter on Twitter] yesterday, I just couldn’t resist trying one!

Pictured above is my attempt, using a 6″ square of silvery grey origami paper. It was all pretty easy until the last step - folding up the 4 wing tips (I can never get this part looking neat with origami cranes either – it’s just too thin!). Still, I think it looks pretty cool.

3 Origami Roses

Clara from Bloomize has been experimenting with 3 different origami roses - Bird Base, Kawasaki and Standard – and she shares her tips and pointers. Aren’t they all beautiful?

Origami koi pond

koi

I love the different paper colours used to fold these origami koi, designed and folded by Sipho Mabona. And the amazingly graceful stop-motion video instructions are definitely worth watching (although it looks like it would be very complicated to fold one yourself).  [via Whip Up]
