| Comments: | It seems amazing that each of these flower-shaped containers is made from just one sheet of paper!
Completing this model involves a twisting collapse, followed by some folding and tucking maneuvers. The collapse is a little tricky, but will not be too difficult if you have made all the pre-creases correctly.
Once the model has been finished, you can untuck/unfold it and completely flatten the sheet, then easily and quickly return the model to its three dimensional form. This rapid transformation is possible because creased paper has "memory" -- the fibers in the paper "remember" which way the folds are supposed to go.
If you make these bowls from large sheets of card stock or scrapbook paper, they will be big enough and sturdy enough to serve up many different types of snacks.
Double-sided paper is recommended because a lot of the reverse side of the paper will show in the fininshed model.
Here I've used scrapbook paper where one side features white Star of David motifs on a dark blue background and the other side features a variety of Hanukkah motifs on a light blue background -- ideal for celebrating the Hanukkah season.
These bowls nest well for storage or you can keep them as flattened sheets, restoring them to their 3-D form when needed.
You can curl the "petals" a little or a lot, to your own taste, or leave them uncurled. I have applied a gentle curl to all of mine.
The bowl shown in the side view image earned a Blue Ribbon from the arts and crafts judges at the 2024 Charlotte County Fair in Florida. |
