Origami Star Candleholder

March 9, 2012 by Heidi Gustad

Origami is an ancient Japanese art of paper folding that has been practiced for centuries, and its popularity has only increased over time. The beauty of origami is that it allows you to create intricate and beautiful designs using only a piece of paper and your hands. In recent years, people have started using origami techniques to create various decorative items, including candle holders. The origami candle holder is a unique and beautiful way to display a votive candle. It’s simple to make, and it can be customized to match your home decor or party theme.

The origami candle holder tutorial featured on How About Orange is a perfect example of how easy and affordable it is to create a beautiful piece of decor using origami techniques. With step-by-step instructions from Passenger on a Little Spaceship, anyone can make a lovely paper candle holder to brighten up their space. The best part is that you can experiment with different paper types, sizes, and colors to achieve the desired effect.

If you’re looking for a way to add a touch of elegance to your home decor, or you want to create a beautiful ambiance for a special occasion, then the origami candle holder is a great option. You can use translucent paper vellum to create a soft, diffused glow that will create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. You can also use patterned or textured paper to create a unique and eye-catching design. The possibilities are endless, and the result is always stunning.

The origami candle holder is a fun and creative way to decorate your home or add a touch of elegance to any occasion. Whether you’re a seasoned origami expert or a beginner looking for a new project, this candle holder is a great option to try.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
