5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fun, Fun!, October 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Origami Page-A-Day 2004 Calendar (Calendar)

It's a great calendar idea.

Instead of just looking at another silly cartoon every morning, I get to fold a little origami creation. And the best thing is I don't even have to buy the paper, because I can use "yesterday's" calendar page. In other words I take Monday and fold it according to Tueday's instruction. (and that is the only problem, because you "loose" Monday's instructions in the process, so consider buying two calendars if you want to save the instructions).

The diagrams range from easy to challenging and I love the new colors and patterns on the back of the pages. And you can't get more origami models for so little money anywhere else.

1.0 out of 5 stars The pages aren't square, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Origami Page-A-Day 2004 Calendar (Calendar)

The pages of my calendar are not square. They measure 145mm X 147mm. 2mm might not sound like a lot but it makes a big difference in the final product. This product is likely to turn beginners against origami. It is like trying to teach someone guitar on an instrument that is out of tune. The end product will never be good and the student will become frustrated.

This review is from: Origami Page-A-Day 2004 Calendar (Calendar)

I'm a big fan of origami, so I was really looking forward to using my calendar. It really does have a huge variety of fun things to fold. However, the pages (on my copy of the calendar, at least) aren't exactly square. They come very close (mine are less than 1/16" off) but this difference is enough to make folding difficult if you're trying to be precise. So I'm rather disappointed by that. But if it doesn't bother you that the models probably won't be perfect due to this, then this is a great calendar.
