Hello,
Some time ago I discovered this amazing site: http://papermatrix.wordpress.com that presents traditional Danish paper crafts. Since Christmas is not that far away now, I thought I'd try my hand at the easiest design of spheres: http://papermatrix.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/sphere-001/
So I printed the template on colored cardstock and followed the instructions. I have to tell you... it is not at all easy to cut all the paper strips by hand, but the most difficult is weave them tight enough so sphere closes correctly in the end.
Here's how my first bauble turned out (is is far from perfect, but it wasn't a complete disaster either):
The next time, I shall try with thinner sheets of paper maybe...

Deja ai inceput cu decoratiunile de iarna? Toamna e inca in plina desfasurare... Eu inca nu am reusit sa mesteresc tot ce mi-am propus pentru acest sezon plin de culoare.
RăspundețiȘtergereE tare simpatic globuletul! Ma tenteaza si pe mine, dar mai prin decembrie :D
M-am apucat din curiozitate... cand am dat de site-ul original pe care sunt toate tutorialele. Oricum e foarte multa munca la un glob daca tai cu mana fasiile... asa ca nu stiu cate globuri din astea voi face...:)
RăspundețiȘtergereN-am prea lucrat niciodata pe sezoane pentru ca nu am foarte mult timp pentru handmade...din pacate...asa ca in general fac orice imi trezeste interesul la un moment dat :)
