DIY: Holiday Origami

Photo  and layout by Nicole Phillips of Visual Heart

As promised, today we're back with our second origami how-to that we did for the Holi-DIY event at Anthropologie last week.  I love this origami fold, called the spinner - as you can actually spin it when it's done.  We used the smaller 3" origami papers in the multi-coloured foils.  Using different colors also makes it easier to make. As the instructions are rather complicated to explain using words, we thought a video of how to make it would be more helpful, so Earl set things up yesterday and uploaded it to YouTube.  You can slow it down frame by frame if need be, and hopefully you'll find it pretty straight forward.  (Thanks to Nicole Phillips of Visual Heart who attended our live session for supplying us with the above photo - and beautiful graphic layout of the finished piece).

For this project you'll need:
6 - 3"or 6" origami foil or paper squares (Earl is using the 6" as it's easier to demo)
Gold string or sisal rope to pull through the top
1 needle or skewer to poke a hole at the top once finished to pull the string through
Optional: driftwood stick - to hang your ornaments at different lengths
