The second continent in our origami summer travels will be Europe to visit Jannie van Schuylenburg to fold a kami paper carrier. She will show us how to modify the carrier to fit various sizes of paper. Origami travelers need a way to transport their paper for folding. Jannie will show us this amazing paper carrier that comes with a lock! If time permits, we will also fold a container to hold 4" paper.

Supplies:

Preferably 1 sheet of craft paper of 53x18 cm. Craft paper works best, but any other paper is okay. 1 sheet of 7.5x7.5 cm. A pencil and scale (ruler) with Centimeters.
; Also prepare: 1 sheet of craft paper of 68x25 cm and 1 sheet of 10x10 cm or 4 inches-if time permits we will fold a container for 4" paper.

Sweet Paper

Our Origami Connect Summer session will take us around the world, learning models from creators from 6 different continents. We hope you sign up for the full itinerary! Our journey will start in North America with Jane Rosemarin teaching Sweet Paper’s Balloon (Secret) Box. You can make this with some left-over maps from your previous travels. This is our kick-off event and your completed box will serve as a place to store your keepsakes from your travels.

Supplies:

two sheets of either A5 or 8 1/2 x 6 1/8 inches;
Decorative papers look good, and two coordinating patterns or one pattern and one solid are especially attractive. For your first try, choose a pattern (or solid color) that doesn’t hide the creases and a paper that holds a crease well. Copy paper is good. Foil would be terrible. Only one side shows. Optional: A ribbon or cord for hanging the model.

Details

What’s a visit to the beach without a good summer read? Make your own book with Michał Kosmulski. You will need a long strip of paper, at least 2 inches wide and about 10-15 times as long as it is wide. Exact proportions do not matter. It is best if the paper is white on one side and colored on the other. You can cut such a strip from a gift- wrapping paper roll. Such rolls are often 30 inches wide, so a 2-3 inch wide strip cut from the end will be a good choice for this model.
