Paperfolding and More

Origami. Kirigami. Paper airplanes. Papier mache. Papermaking. Scrapbooking. Making paper, and making things out of paper; that's what this lens will be about.  As you probably can tell, paperfolding may be my favorite!

Did you find what you were looking for?
According to the statistics Squidoo provides me as a lensmaster, people especially like the designs in the Plexo I grabbed from kab's chiyogami lens. Many of my visitors from a search engine seem to be looking for a specific papercraft project, usually some kind of origami; if you are such a person, and your search hasn't been successful, you could leave a request in the guestbook so that I or one of my readers might help you find it!
