Kirigami Flowers, Decor it Yourself

ur d.i.y r awesome....they r very useful 4 me....since i like d.i.y too...keep up d good work....

In winter time when it is cold try running your dishwasher as you go to bed. This way the water is still running for an hour after you go to bed and you get the dishes done.

Another allergy tip would be to consume "local" -- no more than 30 miles from home -- honey. Check out your local beekeeper. The bees are using local pollen to make the honey, so you can build up a tolerance

Where is the template?

What was the template she used?

If you like Eucalyptus but don't have a tree. Check out Dr. Bronners castile soap in Euc.  It is awesome. Check your local health food store. It has real essential oil and will clean anything from your body to your floor.

To keep Flys, Ants and Spiders out of your home this  Spring/Summer season purchase the herb TANSY. You can sprinke it around your doorways or Picnic area or make a strained infustion in a spray bottle to keep away Mosquitos. There are many uses for Tansy. You can purchase it from any Herb site on the web or some Spitrital-based shops.

oh, how wonderful...
i like this kind of decorations..
i'll do this.. =)

This is really cool but I love the Lotus pop-up you linked to! My nickname is Lotus (ie littlelotusloves@blogspot.com) so I got really excited when that one came up! Thanks!

taco flowers! so pretty. brilliant idea, meg + lauren.

love, Love, LOVE these paper designs!  So easy and looks soo awesome on my wall!  Thank you!  By the way, I really like the dress and necklace you are wearing.  Did you make those yourself?  SHOW US!

I got a Q/A Im trying to revamp a couch but I have no clue what to do?? Any Ideas? PLZ HELP!

The intro "a la Snow White" was very funny! As for allergies, my husband gets them bad. So, I go to my local health food store. There I buy locally made honey and some homeopathic drops for my area. The honey has traces of pollen that the bees gathered. This way your body gets used to the allergens. He takes a little bit of both remedies and that usually helps.

Those are gorgeous!

I really love how those flowers turned out over the bed! Great idea!

If you have a could heat up some vinegar in a small bowl or cup/ mug in the microwave for 10- 20 sec then take out the bowl or mug/cup and try to smell the  vinegar that should help your nose unclog for a short period of time.

I just discovered this great site and this project is exactly what I've been looking for!  But I'm very confused.  I don't want to sound ignorant, but how exactly do I use the template?  I'm trying to figure out how to make the actual template.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Here is the link to the template: http://www.threadbanger.com/decorityourself/post/16841/kirigami-flower-template

You guys, I am so sorry for the template delay. Our internet hated us and was down, but we're back in effect and I'll post that puppy right now. Thanks for your patience! xo, Meg

Template*

I have tried it with out the templet but it is not working. =/ Its the the last fold where it starts not to look like hers. *sigh*

i was looking carefully at the template and the folds before u start cutting and they look the same so just do wat meg does and i think u have ur template

Where can one get Eucalyptus this time of year? I thought it bloomed june-aug.

I just did this without the template. Since it's my first one, it's not great, but it looks okay. I simply cut out the middle of it, but I will make more complex ones once I get the hang of it. I love you Meg!

Hey, love it. where can i find the template?? thanks. love the bird scene. :)

Meg is "enchanted" now...yay!!!

She says "use the template provided in the Thread Banger Blog" but I can't find it anywhere. It would be nice to have a link to it in the "About this Episode" section.

Yeah, I just usually take a hot shower, and the steam clears me up ^_^

if you have allergies listen to you body try to search what works for you and if its serious go see a doctor. And dont take advice from everyone. but the eucalyptus thing is awesome!!

hahahah i peed myself when you did the bird thing!!!

If you have allergies, tie a nutmeg round your neck and they'll go away.
(It can be a very nice necklace as well)

i use tea tree oil or lavander oil diluted to clean my rat cage with :) bleach hurts their eyes you see! i also sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda down to absorb any bad smells before placing their bedding on top! x

Tea tree oil, I use it on everything! Put it in a potpourri burner (can be found at thrift stores) with some water or in a hot bath. I also add it to my laundry detergent and clean with it because it disinfects like crazy. Love the flowers!

The template will be up on the Threadbanger blog this afternoon. Thanks for watching, liking and commenting! Much love, DIYers!
xo, Meg

AWESOME tutorial. Im gonna do a lamp with that technique. Just like the structural blossom lamp but with those flowers.

Eating Red onions can help ease your hay fever symptoms
