One of my favorite Disney films is Beauty and the Beast. Below is an hour-long project of the Enchanted Rose.
The reason for the title "When Anger Turns into Something Beautiful" is due to the story behind the making. My fiance had given me his old glass chess set to use with my crafts. At first, I had the plan to cover the chess set in various colors of blue beads signifying the water. As a lover of origami and kirigami I planned on creating paper flowers laying in the "water," but after my fiance and I had a heated argument I decided to smash the chess board into bits and create something else. After the glass was shattered I realized that I regretted some of the things I said to my fiance and should start on this project to give to him as an "I'm sorry" gift. I decided on the Enchanted Rose utilizing the chess set, beads, and a simple paper rose I folded. Of course we quickly made up and he loved his gift. Funny how such a beautiful and delicate piece of art can come from a place of anger.
