Origami centerpieces - simple & smart

When we were kids everyone I knew had an origami book with cute square shaped papers to make frogs and ducks out of. I never thought at that point in time that the art of paper could be used for decoration purposes as well. Until recently I looked it up in the hope of finding creative ways to decorate.

Here's how and what you can do to make an arrangement for yourself.

Required:
- a twig form your garden or around
- coloured papers
- origami instructions
- spray can and glue/ tape
- vase

How:
First and foremost get done with the more trying part, the origami. I found lots of instructions and variety here but feel free to look up your own. You can either master one bird and replicate that or make the decor interesting with different models.
After you are done with your paper art. Take the twig, un-leaf it of course, and spray paint it golden or silver.

After it is dry which should take about 5 mins or so, start sticking the birds on the branches. When you have it pretty filled up put the piece of art in a vase.

Ta-daa!

It will look something like the picture below (since that is the only one I could find) and if you want to add something more to it you can try strings of crystals or breads hanging from a few stems.
