The project is great and your video is awesome. I am curious if you add the embellishments on the flat background piece before or after you add the curved front.
KAB, To answer your question about when I add the embellishments... I have done it both ways. I usually add the embellishments after I have made the frame. If the opening is small I use a pair of tweezers to place the decorations. For the origami themed project in gallery, I added the decorations to the back layer first. I used the front (while it was still flat) to guide the placement.
