The Ultimate Origami Book Review

All you need to get started! This is The Ultimate Origami Book: 20 Projects and 184 Pages of Super Cool Craft Paper by Larousse. It comes complete with 72 pages of origami instruction followed by 184 sheets of paper. Fold your way through 20 projects rated very easy, easy and intermediate. The instructions (both diagram and text) are excellent - definitely beginner friendly. Scan the projects and choose the model you wish to fold. There's something for everyone. Traditional models include the crane, lotus flower, lily and boat. Flip to the back of the book and browse the paper options. Pick the paper you'd like to use or try one of the suggested patterns. I love the larger size 7.7 inch (19.56 cm) paper squares. There are 92 (x 2) beautiful patterns, each with a coordinating solid color on the reverse. The paper is perforated for easy removal, simply crease and tear. So far I've folded the Message Heart, Majestic Horse and Cherry Blossom. I'm infatuated with the horses whimsical quality! The models and paper shown on the front and back book covers are among those inside. See excerpts and the full table of contents below. Fox Chapel Publishing released this 256 page paperback ‏on August 11, 2020. Get your copy below!
