Today’s Featured Product: World’s Best Origami Book!
I have always been fascinated with Origami, and I watched with amazement when other kids in school folded and folded to create something fun. I am excited to be hosting this giveaway today, as I think it will make a great gift for kids and adults alike!
Remember folding paper into a hand-held fortune teller, paper airplane or secret note square? The new book World’s Best Origami {Alpha Books} challenges readers with more than 100 of the most unique and best-loved origami patterns ever created.
About the author:
In World’s Best Origami, Robinson shows readers how to transform a flat sheet of material into a three dimensional sculpture through folding without the use of cuts or glue. “Origami is an integral part of our everyday lives: recreation, therapy, entertainment, problem solving, engineering, and education. Despite all these varied possibilities, most people make origami for fun and relaxation,” says Robinson.
When beginning a new hobby, it’s easy to rush into the most challenging or exciting project available. Many times this leads to frustration, and, in origami’s case, a lot of wasted paper. World’s Best Origami provides the first-time folder with the basics and progresses towards more difficult models. It also includes a thorough refresher course for more experienced folders.
The book teaches readers how to:
- Choose the best paper for the project
- Make basic folds and perfect creases
- Follow clear and simple folding instructions for a successful project outcome
- Gain an understanding of origami symbols
How would you like to win a copy of this fabulous book? This will make an excellent holiday present for that creative person in your life!
THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!
Open to residents of US only. ONE ENTRY PER HOUSEHOLD! Giveaway ends December 10th at 9:00 p.m. (PST).Please see giveaway rules for further information.

I would give this to my granddaughter who already knows some basic origami, but would love to expand her skills. (But I’d ask to borrow it back after she has a chance to play with it. I’d love to be able to make a few things too.)

This book would be for myself. I used to do some origami years ago and it would be fun to try it again with these new designs.
