Girligami Kit Review & Giveaway

Girligami, A fresh, fun, fashionable spin on origami, by Cindy Ng, published by Tuttle of Vermont. "Cindy Ng is an origami designer whose mini-kits and jewelry are sold in museum shops worldwide. Her work has been featured in Real Simple, Elle, and the New York Times." Her kit includes a 64 - page booklet with 18 projects and 60 folding papers. Pre-printed fold lines leave no room for error. Most "models are presented in multiples on a single sheet" so scissors are required to cut them out prior to folding.

  14. ITS great to learn how to make something that really expresses how you feel and this is a skill that traditionally enables a family to share their history with a minimum of expense but a maximum output of LOVE'. POSITIVE TRADITIONS should continue from generation to generation- 'LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL'
