Critics Review
“Beginners simply cannot go wrong! Boxed kit includes a 96-page booklet and DVD instructions for 20 classic origami models plus 72 sheets of colorful folding paper, both patterned and solid 6” x 6”. Choose from diagrams with text and/or a professionally made DVD to lead you clearly through the folding sequences of each origami model. The DVD menu lets you skip easily from project to project. Crease patterns, the lines left on a piece of paper when you unfold an origami model also serve as a guide to how each model is made. A variety of engaging folds rich in symbolic meaning.” -Handmade by Deb blog “I would highly recommend giving this kit as a gift to someone crafty that is interested in learning beginning origami. The box has a beautiful design and gives the kit an upscale look. The cost of the kit is very reasonable and contains everything needed to get started.” -About.com
