Fold the 2025 Annual Gift

The Annual Gift began in 1987 by OrigamiUSA as a way to spread the joy of origami to all those who attended the Holiday Tree lighting at the American Museum of Natural History. Support this tradition by folding the 2025 Annual Gift. This year’s gift is the Dazzle Star by Michael LaFosse.

Important reminders:

• Do not send models other than the Dazzle Star by Michael LaFosse.
• This is a modular that requires 8 sheets of paper.
• Use only 3" paper (the gift packaging has size limitations).
• You may use two sheets of 15 cm, 6" or 6.25" paper or foil that has been cut into quarters to get the 8 sheets of 3" paper.
• Use patterned, solid,or foil paper.
• Protect the models for mailing with some tissue paper or bubble wrap
• Do not draw on or embellish the model in any way
