Origami Fold-By-Fold Review & GIVEAWAY

Next level challenge! Learn to fold beginner to advanced with Origami Fold-By-Fold by John Montroll. It features 35 animal and polyhedra (3-D geometric figures) origami models. Animal subjects include a selection of fish, insect, bird and mammal folds. Polyhedron models include the 5 Platonic solids - tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Crease patterns are also included for these models. Begin with the easy folding in the first chapter and work your way through the book at your own pace - from simple through intermediate, complex and very complex. All of the designs are folded from one square sheet of paper, and adhere to a no cutting, no glue approach. A reference section shows origami symbols (lines and arrows) and basic folds (pleat, squash, petal, rabbit ear, double-rabbit ear, inside and outside reverse, crimp, sink, spread squash, blintz frog base and a double unwrap fold). All folding sequences have step-by-step instructions with large, clear, full-color illustrations. Ideal for dedicated folders who want to build and reinforce their folding skills. See the complete table of contents below. Dover Publications released the 128 page paperback on July 15, 2020. It is also available in e-book format. Get your copy below!
