Love making origami. I find it quite relaxing

Wow!! They're great! How do you make them? Do you use a single sheet of paper?

 

[Brodie Jackson]

You use six squares of paper.
hmm.. it's hard to explain in writing but they're really easy to make

Now they are nice and I like the first shot. One of Ina's hobbies is origami. It is truly amazing what you can do with a few squares of paper. She made a 3D Xmas tree star on Friday for some friends. I think she said there were 36 sheets in it!!

Here's a snap:

They look wonderful on the top of a tree when there's a light inside.

I used to have a book...
made all sorts of stuff, but the only one i can remember was one my brother taught me...

Origami Instructions - Origami Water Balloon - Origami Water Bomb

WE used to use balloons for this purpose...so much quicker.......less environmentally friendly but could get more water in and safer to carry multiple bombs around........tied to our belts guess we were the early belt bombers

that looks awesome Pete
Nice Hamish, i use those as.. hmm, i guess you'd call them little lantern type things. use to them attached to fairy lights and hung around my room

 

[Hamish Gill]

... Yeah yeah, I was thinking that they would make good fairy light shades when I was looking at them the other day!!! Hannah (my missis) is getting excited about Christmas already ... ... Madness ... But that's what got me thinking! How odd!
