Inspiration {O}

Origami



Origami, literaly translated is "folding paper". Although we associate this with the Japanese art of shape making, we do it without realising in crafts such as teabag folding, lace and scrapbooking.
I like teaching children to fold simple shapes such as fans and airplanes to start then working up to more complicated ideas, but there is no limit to your imagination and creativity when it comes to folding paper!

The items above in the slide show were made using templates from this web site. http://cp.c-ij.com/english/3D-papercraft/origami/index.html Have a go and see how addictive it is!!
