Month: November 2008

New Origami Boxes- pics included

Another new month and I have stumbled on yet another hobby to keep me busy…Paper Craft!

I used to make cards and notes to my mom when I was little but gave up paper craft for fabric when I started college. In the last two weeks, I read up on the net and watched some tutorials on YouTube and Etsy Storque on making paper boxes….

In the past two weeks I made:

  • 3 paper boxes made from handmade Origami paper from Sri Aurobindo Handmade Paper, Pondicherry ( a pack of 50 squares in different colours from Landmark, Spencer’s Plaza)
  • 5 bookmarks – 4 given to friends and family, one is MINE 🙂
  • Customized a journal for my friend- with a bookmark and gift tag.
  • A pair of earrings

Some pics:

Third Box for a colleague’s little daughter Srinidhi ( I had a custom request for a girly pink box). I also included a pair of lilac earrings for Srinidhi in the box.
