Origami Obsession

So i've always had a nerdy obsession with origami. weeeeell, i can now scratch "Learn how to make origami" off my list of life goals. (NERD) Let's just say I folded magazine papers until there was pain radiating in my knuckles. Today after church i sat in a vacant living room while my roommates took naps. Unfortunately i've been blessed with a disease where i can't sleep during the day. I think it's God's gift of time to myself. I decided the BEST possible way i could spend my time was by making little origami butterflies. yes, i know, genius idea. i sat at the table listening to a rather GREAT playlist folding IKEA magazine pages.
Not only was i making origami, a long-term nerdy goal that i've now achieved, but i also got to look at IKEA's 2009 catalog, all the things i could've purchased in the year 2009. "livin' in the past" jc would say...

I made about 55 origami butterflies...wow i sound like such a looser...what in the WORLD am i going to do with FIFTY-FIVE little paper butterflies?! yeah, i'm brilliant. Then i remembered how much i LOVE things that hang from the ceiling. SOOO i decided to make AMAZING & CUTE origami butterfly hangy thingys..i don't know the right word for it, but you'll get the picture when you see the hangy-things.


Hope you like, & if you ever get bored, just youtube "origami butterflies". the tutorial is great, obviously, i'm a master at them now..55 butterflies later.
