  Step 1

  First start off with some origami paper.

  I chose some red, yellow, and two shades of green from my mini origami set (each square is 4cm x 4cm).

• 

  Step 2

  Next I followed the kirigami steps to make sakura from one of my <a href="http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/kirigami-sakura">previous posts (click here)</a>

  If you don't want sakura, play around with the drawing. Round the tip, add extra petals etc...

• 

  Step 3

  String the flowers by weaving in and out of the spaces. That way, they'll stay in place without adhesives.

• 

  Step 4

  Secure simple leaves with clear tape or any other adhesive between each flower.

  To change it up a little, alternate between two colours or make a rainbow coloured string of varying flowers.

• 

  Step 5

  Make several strings of these flowers and attach them to some bamboo, a branch, or any other colourful stick to make a mobile.

Thanks for the tutorial. I've never heard of Kirigami either, but I have been wanting to create miniature origami projects to
give myself something even more detailed and....
YOU gave it to me. This looks fun, delicate, and time consuming. Just what I need.

GREAT PROJECT!!!!
