Yuuko box!

Alllmost at the end!



I accidentally ran across a tutorial on how to fold puffy paper stars and in order to justify the time I spent folding them while watching Kyou Kara Maoh, put a jar full of them into teh Yuuko box. :D



I am somewhat sure it was wrapped in this. At least I can't find anything else it looked like it was wrapped in, this photo is right after the previous one, and everything else has a wrapping associated with it. Process of elimination = this one!



A few sample vials of perfume oil I got from Mythos Mixtures, in an origami fold that's supposed to be a toothpick holder. :D The paper is from the pack of Old-Time scrapbooking paper, and has a design of hooks and lacing on it.



And then I wrapped it up in this:





ONLY TWO MORE ITEMS LEFT IN THE BOX!

STAY TUNED!

This box contains the most amazing collection of small delights I have ever seen.

I can't stop folding paper stars now.

This is so cool. ^_^ You are very clever, and I almost want to say "can I order one for Solstice?"

By this point, it would consist of a pickle jar full of paper stars, used bento equipment, and lint from the carpet. XD

Although the idea of compiling surprise boxes that go along certain themes, at some point in the far future when I no longer remember the anguish that went into this one, sound intriguing...

Can I ask where you are getting all these nifty ideas for the wrapping of items??

I know you said the senri school page a bit ago, but many of your wrapped items feature shapes not on that page.

It boggles the mind!

:D

I used to own a copy of that book, and you can imagine my delight to learn that, inexplicably, the academic library I work at owns it. The toothpick-origami thing above I got from Origami Club (http://www.origami-club.com/en/), under "Useful Origami."

Paper stars! OMG I folded those so much in middle school!

I'd have folded them constantly if I'd run across them in middle school. :D
