Chinese Paper Folding for Beginners

Chinese Paper Folding for Beginners Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Though people nowadays usually refer to paper folding by its Japanese name, origami, the art probably originated in China. From the time they are very small, Chinese children are taught paper folding by their mothers or grandmothers. In this charming, instructive book, the author shares her knowledge of this rewarding craft. She gives clear instructions and simple diagrams for gaily colored hats for parties, a pagodashaped bookmark, toy boats of waterproof paper, decorative candy boxes, a bird whose wings flap when you push its tail in and out — even a three-piece suite and other items of tiny furniture for a doll's house. All can be made without scissors or paste, and their arrangement in the book progresses from the easiest to those requiring more skill. Children and adults alike will find this book fascinating and will be delighted by the imaginative works they are able to create from a single sheet of paper.

Synopsis:
