Divide a long side in five.
"A" (1/5) is width of a box. "B" is height.



Crease.

Insert a side into another. It becomes a fence.


Twist the inside part and make the bottom.




Complete.




When I spread this box, it becomes a rectangle.

Make the rectangle to a circle by gathering.


The back is smaller than the upper.

Skunk cabbage

I think that flower of skunk cabbage is cute.
I heard it has stench. But I don't know how it smells.
I have seen only its pictures.


Skunk cabbage of felt.

Calla (arum lily) is the same kind as skunk cabbage.



Calla becomes wedding bouquet and skunk cabbage is hated.
Pitiable skunk cabbage.

I don't know why it is called "cabbage".

In Japanese, skunk cabbage is "Zazenso".
"Zazen" means Zen meditation. "So" is plant or weed. Also, "so" means priest.
People thought that its flower was like a sitting meditator.

Paper flower

Before I made tissue roses.
And someone wrote "Teach me how to make."

Tissue rose is easy to make.

Cut 16 rectangles of tissue paper.
Roll 2 corners of each sheet.


Roll a sheet and twist the bottom. The rolled corner is outside.


Wrap it softly with another.


Repeat.


Another paper flower, peony.
The paper must be thicker than tissue.

Fold 7-8 sheets of paper like an accordion.
(I used 4 sheets. More is gorgeous.)
Tie its middle with a rubber band.
Spread each sheet.





You may cut the edge zigzag.


If you spray water color, it will be more beautiful.

Butterfly magnet

Magnet cockroach is mischievous and bad taste.
I recommend a butterfly. It's rather easy.



The wings are cloth printed by iron transfer paper.
You can choose any butterfly from web or books.

The body is made of felt and fiberfill.
Bind the neck and attach button eyes.
Its antennas are embroidery threads hardened with some glue.

As a butterfly's body is thin, small magnet is good.
If the magnet is bigger, attach it outside.
