The Origami Garden Review & Giveaway

The Origami Garden: Amazing Flowers, Leaves, Bugs, and Other Backyard Critters by Ioana Stoian (Author) Paperback– released January 5, 2016 by St. Martin's Griffin. A delightful 128 page book with clear, step-by-step instructions for 41 garden themed origami projects. Includes 20 sheets of attractive origami paper, coordinated solid colors and patterns with white reverses, 6" square. Folding does not result in smudged ink on fingertips. A section on symbols covers the basics. Each design has a 1 out of 3 difficulty rating. My favorite is the origami Flower box, shown below. Celebrate spring creatively with some paper folding and enjoy the many benefits of origami. Get your copy below!
