About four years ago, I was asked if I knew how to do and teach origami? At that time, I did not. I told the person whom inquired, "Give me six months, and I will learn how to do it".
I did learn, and here I am teaching it to you! Origami is a math-based craft (geometry). While in school, I hated geometry! What is a surprise to me, is I love origami - who knew!!
This particular model is the "Mesu" or Simple Box. The Japanese use this as a container for small items. I can picture putting something small and light in it like buttons.
Lets get started! All you need are: your hands; plastic credit card to crease with; 8.5" square sheet of copy paper. Actually, any size square sheet of paper will work.
