Kirigami everyday

Standard

It really doesn’t take much to make me happy. Good food, quiet time and new crafts are right up there with flowers, cross stitching and a movie I want to watch again (I’m really picky as I get older though about movies). This little rip-off calendar is making the entrance into the dreary days of January more fun for me! That’s the practice one, then the ones for the last few days. Notice that the one you cut for the previous day is displayed on the current page-cool! And on the bottom is a sneak peek for tomorrow’s snowflake. I have almost mastered the fold-I have to rethink the fold lines (on the calendar page there) and do eventually get it. It comes with detailed directions too! Then you cut out the printed design. Tomorrow’s will be rather wing-like! I’m adding these to my collage scrapbook. My niece Tori would love these. I can cut squares out of new paper and redraw the patterns and let her go to town.
I will learn some other folds-starburst, spider, quilt, half/square fold, pop-outs, 3-D flowers and weaving and bows. All for $7.50! Run to Borders and get one! (uh oh-tomorrow is a starburst fold!)

  1. Hello!
    I came across your January blog on Kirigami while searching … My daughter has the same calendar you have, but she’s just now getting around to the craft (summer fun time!).
    Unfortunately, she’s lost the instructions to make the Spider, Starburst, Quilt, and Snowflake folds.
    Is there any way you could help us out with instructions?
    We would so much appreciate it!

  2. I was wondering if you can explain to me how to do the starburst fold. I bought this a few years back and I’m still working on them. Aha. But I sadly misplaced my cards! So I don’t know a few folds. Please get to me asap (: Thanks!
