Things you will need:1) 2 sheets of green origami paper or other perfectly square piece of paper
2) Sturdy plastic headband
3) Pipe cleaner in color that matches your hair (or close enough)
Step 1:
Take one sheet of paper right side up (some origami paper has a different color on each side) and fold diagonally from corner to corner, each way.Step 2:
Turn paper over and fold from left to right, then from top to bottom.Step 3:
Open your paper - wrong side up. Fold along one diagonal, so you have a large triangle. Press in corners along the diagonal creases so all the original 4 corners meet at the bottom. You should have a square/diamond with a crease down the center as shown and 2 layers of folds on each side.Step 4:
Take the first fold on the right and stand it up in the center. Squash it down and crease -- inserting a pencil all the way to the top helps the tip fold down smoothly. You should have a kite shaped diamond.Step 5:
Fold the right side over the left. Repeat Squash fold and and second fold on each layer.Step 6:
Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the second piece of paper -- you should have 2 fluted cone shapes.Step 7:
When the sections are laid flat, each layer should have either a flap or a pocket.Step 8:
Carefully work around your shape, sliding flaps and pockets on one cone into the pockets and flaps on the other cone.Step 9:
You should end with a dimensional diamond that will stay together without tape or glue.Step 10:
Fold the diamond flat with 4 layers on each side. About 3 inches up from the bottom on the center seam, make a small hole (the tip of a small knife is fine for this) Insert your pipe cleaner.Step 11:
Twist wires together below the plumbob so you have at least 2 inches - so the plumbob will appear to float above your head. Wrap ends of the wire tightly around the head band to secure and you're good to go.Original Tutorial by phreed83 If you liked the tutorial please rate and comment!
