Easy Origami Fold-a-Day 2018 Calendar Review & GIVEAWAY

I love day-to-day activity and craft calendars. They're like a little treat every day! Starting January 1, 2018 I'll be folding my way through the year with the Easy Origami Fold-a-Day 2018 Calendar released July 11, 2017 from Andrews McMeel Publishing. I can hardly wait! It's a boxed calendar featuring the origami designs and folding diagrams of Jeff Cole. There are origami instructions for hundreds of models - one for every day of the week. Saturday and Sunday are combined onto a single page. The folds progress in difficulty. I folded some of the designs from January and February and found the directions clear, including February 12th's Note-Holding Heart (below). The essential origami symbols and bases are on 5 tabbed cards for easy reference. The colorful 6" x 6" folding paper comes in a variety of attractive patterns. It has a magazine-like quality. It did not tear while being folded. The date is top center. Some holidays are shown. To use, lay the box flat on your desk or convert to an easel-style desk calendar by following the instructions. Even the cardboard packaging folds! There are also fun projects for what to do with your origami creations. Take a break each day and unfold your mind. Get your copy below!
