Origami: How to Make...
Origami (from oru meaning 'folding,' and kami meaning 'paper') is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.
Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. [wiki]

- Wonderful stuff. Recently watched a documentary which was fascinating just how many things can be made from it and some of the stuff was unbelievable - all from one piece of paper. Top marks
