Origami paper flower ball made with non-adhesive post it notes, cut down to 3" squares. 12 flowers total, 5 petals per flower. Make the first set of six flowers, glued together petal to petal is best. I used a hot glue gun, but Elmers or Alenes can be used. Remember to glue your string inside the first set BEFORE you bring together the other side, to form the "ball."
I was attempting an alternate mobile for the nursery room, but did not
take into consideration the weight of all that paper and glue!

how long did it take you to make this?
ReplyDeleteoh, dear, about 2 weeks I guess... lots and lots of folding, and boy what some sore fingers!
ReplyDeleteand I am somewhat disappointed with the scrap book paper with designs, which can hardly be noticed unless you very close to the ball.
