Mixed Media and Papercraft
The Lucky Dip Chair
This simple project, in which a chair is painted to look as though it has been dipped in colour, is perfect for furniture flipping beginners.
Origami Apple
The apple is one of the most popular fruits in Japan. Among them, a large apple called “Fuji” is tinged with pink and is also sweet and juicy. Mari Ono uses this variety as the basis for my own origami apple model.
Leafy Wrap and Gift Tags
Gifts wrapped in handmade paper become something very special. It’s simple to make and the results are beautiful – complete the look with some pretty matching gift tags.
Eco-resin Coasters
Use terrazzo effects to make a beautiful set of coasters for drinks or candles. If you’re making Hazel’s coffee filter also featured in the book, you could create a set to go with it.
Origami Fir Tree
Shinrin-yoku, literally meaning “forest bathing,” is good for body relaxation. You can create the impression of a little forest by placing these pretty origami trees in a corner of your room.
