Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA?This attractive book for experienced crafters begins with a chapter on the construction of inexpensive gift items such as a document folder or picture frame. The next chapter gives instructions for making bowls and boxes of various sizes as well as a desk holder. The final chapter explains how to make more complex free-standing forms: cranes in flight, sun and moon, or an elephant. There are instructions on basic techniques and paper selection. The sketches and numerous clear diagrams are helpful, and the physical layout of the book and the vivid photographs have considerable charm.?Frances Reiher, Fairfax County Public Library, VA

Fantastic Folds presents 26 innovative origami projects, as beautiful as they are useful. Each project is true origami, folded from a single sheet of paper, and includes clear step-by-step instructions, sidebars that help you review your progress at every stage, and suggestions on choosing and preparing the paper and on decorating the final project. Full color photographs highlight the delights found on every page. From the whimsical practicality of "foldelopes", picture frames and a lampshade, to a head of rare animals-a shark, a seahorse, and a warty jumping frog-these projects will delight and inspire, whether you fold for pleasure or for a bottomless supply of inexpensive gifts.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good range of projects,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fantastic Folds: Origami Projects (Paperback)
This book is great for all, beginer / intermediate / advenced. It has a wide range of projects that are fun to make, but some are very difficult. I would recomend this book for not-so-serious folders.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Cool Book!,
By Library Empress "mockingbirdgirl37064" (Franklin, Tn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fantastic Folds: Origami Projects (Paperback)
This book has lots of color photos and pretty simple instructions. I would not exactly recommend this book for beginners. Most of the projects are pretty easy, but there are a few that are tricky and time consuming. Over all a pretty good book to have in you collection if you into Origami.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fantastic Folds: Origami Projects (Paperback)
This is a very good book for beginners to cut their teeth on. Some very good projects that are practical as well as fun to make. The only drawback of this book would be the lack of history regarding origami, etc. I would have been interested in learning more about how origami came about and evolved into its present form.
