Simple but effective

This book is one of the early books on origami and written by 2 American legends who lead origami in USA and started the rise in origami and the popularity origami currently enjoy.This book contains a lot of simple models, easily folded by beginners. The models folded has a lot of practical applications. In general, if you use the correct colours in folding the model, you can get a really effective and eye catching model.There is section on Christmas decorations which I use even today. Use bright shiny paper and hang up the origami decorations on your Christmas tree and listen to the "oohs" and "aahs" of kids as they admire the decorations. The decorations come in many shapes and often require more than a piece of paper to fold. This is a blessing since this allows you to control the colour of the model. They are usually very easy to fold although assembling it could present a challenge to begineers.An excellent book for begineers keen to fold their own decorations.
