Origami Mini Books/Cards

Trying it with 8x8 paper is on my to do list Lorraine.

One of my favourite ones was a dog one I made for a crafty friend but I forgot to photograph it.

I have lots of 6x6 Christmas paper so I intend doing some with that. I look forward to seeing what everyone else does.

Have made the basic book with 8 x 8 papers and learned how not to position the tape ever so slightly wrong. Will be making a 12 x 12 card for DD complete with dragons, so will be putting a piccie on when its made for you all to see.

Thanks Pam.

I look forward to seeing what you've made Lorraine.

One tip I have is when you are sticking the hinges in I line the pages up against the lip of my scoring board. This keeps it all nice and straight.

I've just had a go at folding a sheet of 8x8 and 12x12. They give a very different effect and open up a whole new size of images that you could put in them.

Thanks for the tips Lynne and the Youtube link. I have to ask though..... what on earth is that woman wearing on her ears! Made my afternoon seeing her with those - I'm guessing Rudolphs - plastered to the side of her head. Makes my deeley boppers look positively stylish.

I wondered if she mentioned them as I was surfing with the sound off this morning watching the Grand Prix. I guess she didn't. :D
