5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, October 3, 2003

By	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This fun little book has seventeen origami projects that can be used for holidays and other fun occasions. It begins with several basic folds and forms, and then immediately launches into the projects. The project include: 1) Nifty New Year's Confetti Container, 2) Hatful of Fun (this hat's nice for birthdays and other celebrations), 3) Fluttering Butterfly, 4) Secret Pocket Valentine, 5) Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, 6) Bring on the Bunny, 7) Egg-o-Rama, 8) Patriotic Pinwheel (nice for any summer day), 9) Smilin' Jack (a very nice little jack o' lantern), 10) Going Batty, 11) Home Haunted Home (with a little imagination, you can use this house pattern for a number of uses), 12) Thanksgiving Turkey Basket, 13) Rock-A-Bye Papoose (you need to see this one, it's very cute!), 14) Classic Holiday Candle (Christmas, Hanukkah, birthday, any day!), 15) 3-D Christmas Tree, 16) Little Hanukkah Driedel (this top actually works!), and 17) Angelic Origami.

If the above description doesn't tell you just how wonderful this book is, I don't know what will. It's a great book, complete with lots of colorful pictures and illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and holiday hints. This is a book that I highly recommend to anybody who likes to make fun-filled decorations for around the house. I love it!
