Ferrero Rocher...

V-day round the corner... wanna budget then dunno how to make paper rose then there is something easier...

First eat a rocher... spread out the paper and fold two adjacent sides towards the middle. Estimate the fold to be about the height of your rose bud. By folding in the two sides, this is to make the middle of your rose golden, if not it will be an ugly silver...

Next roll the foil taking constant note of the centre of the rose, it should not be too cramped or too wide, no hard or fast rules, as long as it looks right, its ok.

Then pinch the downside of the foil to form the stalk. Pinch, dun twist, you would probably twist the foil till it snaps. Twist it after pinching as the foil will be slightly stiffer after pinching.

Shape as desired make the stalk thinner, open up the inside with a needle or mechanical pencil. Curl the opening side slightly and attach the ferroro rocher sticker for the leaf. Done. Put it in a small bottle or test-tube with some sand...

Hey cheapskates... v-day so cheapo... !!! buy flowers from me la... hahaha

Disclaimer: This is something I thought out and not the original rocher rose. For the original one, visit http://www.ferrero-rocher-I-am-a-cheapo.com/

Peacock (revisited)

Found a tedious model, the peacock... unable to resist the temptation to start folding it...
My previous peacock was pretty average, a very simple and down-to-earth attempt with a few very, erm... a few flaws la... this new model is not perfect but made attempts for improvements... designed by Jun Maekawa, its one of the most tedious models i have ever ever folded, it seems easy... but try folding it from a Crease pattern, just collapsing the model to the base will kill you.
Attempt number 1...

Pretty decent, but decided to do something stupid, thought the tail part could be improved... the idea was to create patterns by creasing lines in an alternate manner, hence, by more repetitions, i can create a more majestic tail... boy, it didn't occur to me that the closer the lines, the more lines, the tougher it gets when you collapse the model to the base. The difficulty increases exponentially, it took me 45 mins to do the first one, but it took me near 3 hours to do the second... but... satisfied... haha... yes... not bad... pursuing perfection? haha...
2nd try...
Midway through
Collapsing...
Finally...
Try it... this is the crease pattern
