Gi' me some oriGAMI...

I know.  Bad title.  I tried to come up with something cute for this one, but I just couldn't.  BUT the clips are cute!  I got the tutorial here.



I have no idea how you say Hana Kanzashi but that is what these little beauties are called.  Mmmm...makes me think of Kashi.  Yum.  Now I'm hungry. What was I saying.  Oh, so on the backs I just used clips from old barrettes.  That way I didn't have to go out and buy anything!  This is such a great way to use your fabric scraps.  And come on...why do we hang on to those little pieces?   I'm not the only one right?  Right?  


Anyway, what I love about this tutorial is that you can do it in front of the boob tube...(seriously who came up with that nickname...I doubt the inventor of the tv would appreciate it).  Oh yeah, I'm a tv girl.  Loves me some good shows.  Like LOST (tear), The Office (double tear, no more Michael after this year), 24 (so many tears), Grey's Anatomy, Friends re-runs...I could go on and on.  Holy distractions batman.  Lets get back to the clips....um nothing left to say.  Go make some!

  3. Question: So, did you just use the regular cornstarch to spray with, or one of the other things? And when it says "sew the petal"...um...just like one stich straight through? Or several to really hold it closed? And how did you attach it to the barrette?? Sorry friend...I don't really craft. But I think you will inspire me! ; )

  4. Hey Michelle! Yep, just regular cornstarch! And I only sewed right through the petals, but I used double thread to make it a bit stronger. Have fun!
