Brilliant idea, once I managed to work out step 5. Testing on post it notes but still worked well. Will try out on younger teens on Wednesday. Thanks.
These Origami (or kirigami 🙂 ) trees are absolutely adorable. How cool would it be to decorate an entire tree with them? I guess I better get folding!
Fun fact: when paper sculpting involves cutting as well as folding, it’s called kirigami. Origami is folding and folding only.
Oh interesting Resa!! I’m definitely not familiar with kirigami so that’s cool to know! 🙂
oh my gosh. i think daughter and future daughter in law and i will be making these. in all colors!
I LOVE these! 🙂
Thanks Bonnie!! They’re fun to make!
