About the Book

Learn to create fun and decorative origami ornaments that move, spin, or change shape!

Book Synopsis

For anyone who wants to delve into decorative modular origami ornaments. Readers will learn to fold colored paper into simple shapes, known as modules, and how to put them together, without using sticky tape or glue, to create amazing and attractive ornaments and sculptures. The 25 models presented will show readers how to create 18 projects, which begin at a very simple level so that they can succeed on their first try. Subsequent models and projects allow readers to develop their skills, so that by the time they reach the last project, they will be folding and assembling something extraordinary. Each of the designs can be customized using different kinds of paper and combinations of colors so that each finished ornament will be a unique and personal expression of the design.
