They fill up the mailbox…and then, they fill up the recycling bin. But now Duy and Tramy Nguyen have come up with a way to make snail-mail spam appetizing—and even exotic: turn it into fantastic origami art. Their beautiful projects are specifically tailored to the dimensions of those flyers, ads, and other unsolicited offers you’d normally throw away. Even beginners will be able to transform junk mail into extraordinary creations. The Nguyens start with an introduction explaining how to interpret the symbols and lines in their instructions and to make basic origami folds. Paper crafters can then put their skills to the test with 18 designs, including a bow, heart on a stand, and a cool Halloween skull.

Junk Mail Fun!,
By Erik "Creative Director/Host" (In the design studio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Junk Mail Origami (Spiral-bound)
What fun! Duy and Tramy Nguyen bring new life to plain old junk mail by means of great paper folding projects! The illustrations are easy to read, even for the beginner, and the results are fun and clever, the book has wonderful instructions, and even lies flat for easy reading while folding your paper. Who thought saving junk mail could yield such incredible results! This book is great for budget crafters or group leaders; you will have fun! See our entire review on our website along with pictures of our origami elephants!

This review is from: Junk Mail Origami (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book thinking it would have some interesting new designs and there were so few that I would want to make. Some of the shapes like skull face and bull face - don't look like what they say they look like. In trying to fit everything in this little book they have forgotten to explain or expand some hard steps.
