Cindy Ng author of the popular origami kit Girligami continues her modern twist on origami in Travel Origami, 24 Fun and Functional Travel Keepsakes, published by Tuttle. Non-traditional sizes and types of paper are folded into sentimental origami souvenirs. Turn travel ephemera like flyers, brochures, leaflets, pamphlets, maps, programmes, packaging, advertising, posters, newspapers, tickets and labels into origami tokens of remembrance. This is the handy Corner Book Mark. It slides neatly on to any corner of the page and stays securely in place until you re-position it. One sheet of square paper is required to make it. I used a 3 inch square of handmade Japanese paper. Use just about any paper, simply trim to size. Will prevent dog-eared corners and make a thoughtful addition to any book you are giving as a gift. For instructions and 23 more travel-inspired origami projects get your copy below.
