Broke-Ass TV ep.8: Origami Flowers
A little while back, real-bride Mallory turned out an incredible DIY or DIE post on origami flowers. I was intrigued. I was perplexed. I was… determined to try them for myself. As a decidedly less-than-innately-crafty chicken, it was a challenge I couldn’t quite resist. Plus, the promise of paper pointy monster fingers with which to play was just too tempting.
RAWR.
And I decided, if I could do it, anyone can. So to prove my point and help you along in your own paper-folding forays, we put together an episode of Broke-Ass TV to teach you how! You can also read Mallory’s tutorial here.
The finished blossoms are pretty bad-ass, dontchathink?
Are you foregoing formal foliage in favor of folding your own flowers? (also, are you a little turned-on by my sexy alliteration skills? Yeah, I thought so.)
Got a video request for us? Let us know, yo! We specialize in making dreams come true, you know.

Looks so good. That's pure talent. Origami has never been my friend but I may have to try these.
My fiance made an origami box to put the ring in when he proposed
(Yes I am here, because of Delicate Raymond's necklace….again).

Awesome! I'm doing origami flowers for reception centerpieces, and currently about a third of my dining room table is covered with multicolored shiny foil lilies. It's become my activity of choice for occupying myself as a passenger in the car. I HATE crafts, but repetitive origami is totally fun
Thinking of doing them for corsages and boutonnieres too, but afraid it would look weird at the ceremony because there will be 2 items with real flowers.
I am indeed planning on forgoing formal foliage in favour of fabricating my own flora. Ha! more alliteration!
Because the fiancee is a musician and I love vintagey things, we are planning on making most of our flowers out of sheet music, and my bouquet and other little accents with brooches.

[...] The Broke-Ass Bride show you how to make gorgeous origami blooms in this simple, DIY video [...]
Haha, I remember making the "finger nails" origami when I was little. The flower looks cute.
I have been making these and they are super cute! However, make sure you have some good quality craft glue! Otherwise, they will come apart on you after all that hard work you put into them!
But they look absolutely awesome… Now to make 100 of them! (That's over 500 petals! YIKES!)
