If you're looking for how to make something like this (they look much more intricate in person...pictures don't do them any justice), I have a tutorial here. I'll be sharing a few more later this week.
(Yes, I know that's not what tulip leaves look like...oh well!) =)
aww this is very sweet! Blessings, Joanne
ReplyDeleteI think it's very nice...and I love the tulip leaves. Isn't that called 'character'? :o) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love Iris Folding! My kids like to help though, so I haven't done any cards for awhile. And I like the leaves:)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm lost. Why is it called iris folding when the result is a tulip?
ReplyDeleteMarie Anne--That's hilarious!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that.
ReplyDeleteThis type of paper craft is just called Iris Folding. From what I found, this is why it's named that: "The technique originated in Holland and it is called iris folding because the center of the design resembles the iris of a camera or eye." source: http://www.circleofcrafters.com/irisfolding/index.html
The center of the paper pattern is called the iris and is traditionally filled in with holographic paper. So, this Iris Folding pattern happens to be a tulip. I have some others to show later this week like a teapot, simple shapes, and even Christmas Bells.
Hope that makes more sense now! =D
So cute!! I would love for you to come by Sassy Sites and link up at our Flower Power party today! xoxo!
