Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.44,0:00:10.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the first of five videos that will look at how to make an origami bonsai rose bush. So to begin
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.93,0:00:18.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with I went out around the Internet for pictures of bonasai rose bushes. I came up with this one, and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.12,0:00:25.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this one, together the inspiration for the design we're going to look at here now. Get yourself some 20 gauge
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.47,0:00:37.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cooper wire, nice and flexible. It does not necessarily need to be cooper. Create a frame. In this case its got three large branches. Wires
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.22,0:00:45.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leading off it for flowers and the leaves. And a good bit of extra wire down at the bottom so you can tie it off once
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.94,0:00:58.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've based it in a bowl. So here's another design with a little different looking trunk. Lots of possibilities for trunks. So to start
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.92,0:01:05.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get your paper mache gear together, some strips of paper, your frame, and your paper mache glue. The
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.97,0:01:16.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,glue consists of one part flour, to five parts water. Brought to a boil then let cool before using it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.58,0:01:22.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's the wire frame with the first layer of paper mache applied.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.51,0:01:40.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So build up the paper around the based first. For the first pass there are about six or seven layers
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.84,0:01:50.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of paper around the bottom. You don't want to go to thick otherwises its not going to dry. This is what
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.55,0:01:56.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it looks like after the first pass. Six or seven layers on the bottom. Four or five for the midsection.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.83,0:02:02.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, one or two layers for the exterior branches.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.35,0:02:08.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let it dry, next day come back and you have something that looks like this. Nice and hard ready to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.30,0:02:12.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,put another layer of paper mache on it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.19,0:02:20.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, get your paper mache glue out of the fridge. You may want to toss it in the microwave to warm it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.31,0:02:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up a little bit, but it works just as well cold. Apply some of the paper mache glue to the dried model
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.33,0:02:45.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just to soften it up a bit, and then apply another six of seven layers to the bottom section of the trunk.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.82,0:02:55.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[high speed applying paper mache]
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.78,0:03:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pay particular attention to the joints of your model, and make sure that they're secured well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.77,0:03:19.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[applying paper mache to the first joint]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.36,0:03:25.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Work all the bubbles out as best you can. The later layer its not so critical because it will smooth
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.55,0:03:32.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out as you apply more layers. So let it dry, come back the next day and you have something that looks like this. In this particular
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.83,0:03:37.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,case I've probably put too many layers on the bottom so it still a little damp, so I'm going to leave
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.32,0:03:44.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it for another day, and experiment with some different roses, in this case a paper rose, with a 10 inch
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.74,0:03:54.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,piece of paper. This one is a black tissue foil rose. This one turned out quite nice. So, I think I'll go
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.47,0:03:59.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with tissue foil for the roses, perhaps red though.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.53,0:04:10.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, next day, got back, had to add a couple more branches in for leaves. There was a bare space up in
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.99,0:04:20.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,top corner then applied another layer of paper mache and ended up with something that looks like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.72,0:04:32.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you let that dry for a day, or maybe two, and then you apply the bark. So, this is a fine wood grain
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.93,0:04:40.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,type paper that I bought at a local paper shop. Soften it up with some water first, get it nice an pliable
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.12,0:04:55.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so its easy to mold onto the base of your model. Apply some paper mache glue to the model, again to soften it up
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.84,0:05:05.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, then apply your bark paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.24,0:05:23.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you'll want to make cuts in places where there's a corner so that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.98,0:05:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can wrap the paper around. You'll want to try to keep the overlap of the paper in the back
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.44,0:05:38.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where its going to be less noticable.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.41,0:05:46.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And cut off any excess.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.86,0:05:52.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[high speed applying the bark paper]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.30,0:05:58.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in this case the paper is a little thin. You can see the newsprint, so I'm going to put a second layer
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.86,0:06:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on. So after the first layer is applied, you let it dry for at least a few hours, maybe a day.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.60,0:06:12.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then you apply a second layer.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.77,0:06:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[high speed applying the second bark layer]
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.63,0:07:25.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So once your second layer's applied, work all the bubbles out so that you are not left with little divots
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.20,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where that air works its way out. And, that's it. The trunk for your origami bonsai rose bush.
