Hey there, lovely to see you today!
I was given this sweet package from family members who took a trip to Tokyo, Japan:
The packaging is simple but the shop's stamp and sticker are both cute and effective. As an added detail, a small origami doll was included...TADA!
Have a look at the gifts inside.
The long envelope contained three bookmarks. The material is similar to grasscloth that gives the bookmarks some texture. I just love the kissing bunnies and I can't wait to use them (and I do read two or more books at the same time)!
This is a book containing notepaper. The paper also has texture and I can imagine it would be lovely to write on with a felt-tip pen.
I love stationery and the ones from Japan are beautiful and are of very good quality. As with the rest of my stationery, I always wait for the perfect occasion to use them.
Now, can we return to the origami doll decorating the package? I'm quite obsessed. I want to make my own version, too.
I looked through my stash of paper remnants left over from card making and scrapbooking and trimmed the paper into squares measuring 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
Using this origami doll tutorial, I made these dolls using construction paper, gift wrap remnants, and security envelopes...TADA! I used white glue to hold the folds in place.
These origami dolls are made from construction paper, floral gift tissue, and card stock (heads/faces)...TADA!
Here is a variation...short hair and floral accents.
Just by adding paper wings, my origami dolls are now angels...TADA!
And that is how I turned my paper stash from blah to TADA!
