Review
"The author's lightbulb idea is to transform travel-related paper stuffand#8212;brochures, picture postcards, sweet wrappers, maps, paper bags, bank notes, even drinking strawsand#8212;into almost-instant origami mementoes. Tah dahand#8212;you are simultaneously recycling, occupying/entertaining the kids, and producing fun origami souvenirs. Magic! [andhellip;] The projects are suitable for origami beginners. This title would make a fabulous bon voyage gift. Captivating keepsakes are just a few folds away. Guaranteed to bring a smile." and#8212;andlt;iandgt;andlt;bandgt;The Papercraft Postandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;

Review
"I love functional origami, and paper crafting with unexpected materials. So this book is a perfect fit for my interests, and hopefully for yours as well. [andhellip;] The models themselves are mostly functional. Lots of wearable projects like rings, a bracelet and a necklace. The suggested papers are just that- suggestions. You can cut any paper to fit the dimensions which are clearly stated. [andhellip;] There are picture frames, little dishes to hold small things in, envelopes, gift wrap bag and decorative items like the modular postcard star on the cover. [andhellip;] I love the idea of saving your memorabilia in a way that it can be used and displayed daily, and this book is a way to do that." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;Don't Eat the Pasteandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
Review
"[andhellip;] this would be a great book for someone who has never done origami but curious, and wants an out-of-ordinary activity while traveling. The concept of folding paper souvenirs into fun and functional keepsakes is fantastic." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;Yuki's Origami Blogandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
Review
"I like the premise of this book - using paper from your various travels to make keepsakes. The designs and ideas are fun, and give purpose to materials you might not consider for origami, such as candy wrappers, paper bags, comic strips and more. Also included are a few paper currency folding ideas. All with nice write-ups, finishing and display ideas. The designs range from the decorative to the functional. The book itself is beautifully produced, printed in full color on glossy paper, with nice photographs throughout." andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;and#8212;Gilad's Origami Pageandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
