A free craft? Yes.
And what's best about it --
You're repurposing your old magazines.
Go green.
What will you need?
magazine you have lying around
- [Game Informer, in my
case]
ruler
hot glue gun
beads [optional]
* if you decide to hang:
string & needle
I made my first paper flower ball following
the instructions listed on the site linked
from StumbleUpon.
I wanted to share some of my photos of
my first attempt at
Japanese Kusudama
and inspire everyone to repurpose!
Cut 60 squares 6 cm by 6 cm.
Fold according to directions on the link.
I personally changed the dimensions.
Decided to hang mine.
After folding, gluing, and placing each petal, each flower -- here is the outcome before being hung.
*Note: Using a magazine you have read before makes it fun.
Such as the Left photo says BlizzCon!
Finally, here is the result after putting the needle and thread through and hanging the ball in my desired place. Enjoy! Recycle. Repurpose. These flower balls can be made with colored paper, for a party or wedding. The photos do not do them justice how intricate and beautiful they are. I definitely plan to make at least two more to hang.
