Origami Extravaganza: Folding Paper, a Book, and a Box [Paperback]

Tuttle Publishing (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2000

While there are several origami books on the market, many are out-of-date, most are either too hard or too easy, few offer traditional projects, and fewer still provide all the elements needed to create, store, and display beautiful orgami pieces.

The kit contains:
* A 96-page book with complete instructions for 45 different projects
* 160 7x 7-inch sheets of folding paper in an array of color including patterned and foil sheets
* A sturdy box that doubles as a place to store paper and a pedestal on which to display finished projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Origami Extravaganza, May 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Origami Extravaganza: Folding Paper, a Book, and a Box (Paperback)

Simple and easy to understand diagrams make this the perfect origami beginner's book. The addition of an abundance of origami squares in a range of different colors plus a load of two different patterned squares sets an origami novice up for folding for quite a while. I highly recommend this book to the new origami folder.

My grandson Garrett asked for an origami kit for Christmas. As a grammy it is my job to make sure his every wish comes true! I researched to find the best kit I could find for a nine year old boy. This kit was highly recommended and it was a big hit. Now there are little folded up pieces of colored paper everywhere! Everywhere! Everywhere!

This is a great value getting a good origami book (the instructions are good and the book itself is not flimsy) and a lot of paper to get started with. Enjoyed by all ages. Even used this with children with difficulty sitting down and attending to task (ADHD) and it's fun and they surprised me being able to sit still. Great for rainy day or keeping busy when you need to have quiet time.

Family fun!
