Oh wow - this brought back memories! We lived in Japan when I was in grade school, and our maid taught me how to make these (and all kinds of other origami figures). I should take it up again and see what my fingers remember...
(Typing the phrase "our maid" felt really weird, btw. Every officer's family back then had a live-in maid to help with child-care and cleaning. Ahhh, the 1950s...)
Will be trying this.
ReplyDeleteTook me three tries to get one that didn't blow up, but I'm using cheap construction paper, 1/2" x 18" strips...

ReplyDeleteAlthough, "our cleaning service" is not an unusual thing to talk about these days, Pat Kight
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing most cleaning services don't entertain the kids by teaching origami. :)
ReplyDeleteALAS!
