Russian Doll Holding a Basket of Flowers    I used colorful origami paper for my Russian Paper Doll's kerchief. The rest of the doll was made with cardstock.

It's a Small Paper World

Image
When I was twelve years old, I went to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My favorite pavilion was "It's a Small World".  I loved the music and all of the animated dolls. I want to recreate those memories by making paper dolls. My first attempt is Japan with a Geisha girl.  I also added a small origami ninja star and a small crane. Here is the PDF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYYjlIVlIyZmd5a0E/edit?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file.  I used origami paper, card stock and foil wrapping paper. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYUndYM1BZSEY0ZDQ/edit?usp=sharing Instructions for the Ninja Star. http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-ninja-star.html Instructions for the Crane. http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-crane.html

A Paper Ferris Wheel That Really Spins

Image
     A Paper Ferris Wheel That Really Spins because there is an axle built inside the wheel.  This Ferris Wheel makes a perfect gift.  The base is a box so you can put a present inside.    The school year is over and summer is finally here. I can't believe I have been blogging for one year. It has been an unbelievable blogging year with 50,000 hits. I had no idea that my blog would generate so much response.  Thank you to all who have stopped by to read my blog. What better way to start the summer, then to make a Ferris wheel.  It takes about 4 hours to make.  One hour of cutting and about three hours of gluing.  I would suggest doing this project over the course of a few days. Take it slow and let the glue dry.  It will make everything easier.
