Origami Easter Bunnies

 
Hey folks, hallo zusammen,

can you believe that Easter is already in two weeks? This year's first months passed extremely fast in my opinion!
As always there will be a big Easter lunch at my mum's house on Easter Sunday and as always I'll be responsible for the table decoration. Last year I made origami chickens, this year I decided to go for Easter bunnies. As you already know, I really like to work with old newspapers (proof here and here), so this is what I did here as well.

könnt ihr glauben, dass in zwei Wochen schon wieder Ostern ist? Ich finde, die ersten paar Monate diesen Jahres sind extrem schnell vergangen!
Wie jedes Jahr findet auch heuer wieder ein großes Osteressen bei meiner Mama zu Hause statt und wie immer bin ich auch diesmal für die Tischdekoration zuständig. Letztes Jahr habe ich Origami-Hühner gebastelt, diesmal habe ich mich für Osterhasen entschieden. Und weil ich so gern mit altem Zeitungspapier arbeite (Beweise hier und hier), habe ich auch diesmal darauf zurückgegriffen.

Gift Wrapper with Origami Swans

Hi there,

as the weather last weekend was rainy and grey I had the perfect excuse to stay inside, watch a bunch of movies and work on some little DIY and cooking projects. Among other things I thought of a nice gift wrapping idea with origami birds. Swans to be exact... :)
As I never really did origami before I was a little uncertain if the actual result would conform my imagination but as it turned out the swans were quite easy to fold, although I did one or two with blank paper before folding the actual wrapping paper.

What you'll need

• two sheets of matching paper
• scissors
• Scotch tape
• gift box

How it works

Use the first sheet of wrapping paper to wrap your gift box.

Now it's time to fold your swans. Cut out two squares (21 x 21 cm & 16 x 16 cm) of the other sheet of paper and here we go! For instructions I used this really cool video tutorial by BesserBasteln:

Once you've finished your origami birds simply put them on the upside of your package and fix them either with a little bit of glue or some scotch tape.

Done! :)

Have a nice day!

Yours,
Tulip
