I agree with Diane, your paper choice is gorgeous.

And what I really love is that you should be able to leave them up all year or move them to the patio in the summer with the little tea lights flickering.

I am wondering – would they support a tea light in a lightweight glass candle holder?

I also love the angles you used for the photos! Great job all around.

Those paper globe ornaments are fantastic. What a great and very original idea.

LOVE these! One year I folded about a hundred origami cranes out of washi chiyogami with gold and silver accents and trimmed them with crystals and silver thread to hang on Christmas trees. I presented them in boxes I folded out of the 12″x12″ cardstock you mentioned. It set me back on my way to one thousand cranes, but they were beautiful and have stood the test of time surprisingly well. I was worried that the paper ornaments wouldn’t make it more than a season or two, and briefly played with the idea of using some sort of shellac on them, but six years later I’m still getting calls from my friends when they hang them on their trees. Have you ever used any sort of paper coating to stiffen your work? If so, what type do you recommend. I was thinking of doing the boxes again and folding something to glue on the lid as a decorative handle, but I don’t know what I should use to attach it and harden the whole thing. Thanks! Julia

OMG! I love how these look with the printed paper! And I love those little lights in them.
