INTRODUCTION
Party Origami adds a new twist to traditional origami by teaching you to use the folded art form to create modern party decorations. Here, you’ll find everything you need to trim your next party with special touches made of paper, from custom invitations to sweet place settings to folded napkin rings and more.
In this booklet, you’ll be introduced to the art of paper folding with standard base folds, traditional folded models, and modular origami. The book also includes less traditional methods, such as cutting, hole punching, or using a bit of tape, to create more contemporary finished pieces. All of the projects in this booklet can be made using 6-by-6-in/15-by-15-cm origami paper.
To get the most out of Party Origami, first get familiar with the symbols and techniques found in the front of the booklet. This will give you a basic foundation before you start creating specific projects. With any origami project, first practice the folds on printer paper before using the pretty origami paper for your final creation. This way you won’t waste any nice paper!
The included projects employ a variety of folds and designs. The step-by-step folding illustrations provide a visual guide for each project. Start off with the projects rated easy and work your way up to the more advanced projects. Once you get into the rhythm of following the instructions and folding, it should become easier and more intuitive.
Once you’ve made a few of the projects, try customizing the designs to your own personal taste by choosing specific papers and colors or adding custom details. Play with scale to make a project smaller or larger; add personal touches with hand-drawn details; embellish finished projects with rhinestones or other decorations—the sky’s the limit!
