THINGS I'VE MADE FROM THINGS I'VE PINNED - DIY ORIGAMI VASES.

August 17, 2016/ Emma

Hey. Just popping in quickly to share these origami vases I made using a fantastic tutorial I found on Pinterest. It's been a while since I've made something using a tutorial I've pinned. I need to do it more often. It seems like such a pity to pin these things but never actually make them.

You can find the tutorial over on Love Decorations. I made 2 and put an empty jam jar in each one. I'm using one as a pen pot and the other as a vase to hold my crepe paper peonies.

Have you got any tutorials you've pinned that you'd love to make? I think I might try this on next or maybe something like this. Argh, it's so hard to choose.
