Supplies

For the layer cake slice:
2 pcs 6" (15 x 15 cm)
1 pc of letter-size paper A4 or 8 1/2 x 11 (scissors to trim to size).

Icing decoration for the top:
1 or 2 pcs 2" (5 cm),
thin curling tool, dab of glue.

One 25 cm (10") or larger sheet of kami (thin foil-backed paper also works well).

Paper needed: For 1 star we need eight 1:3 rectangles. If you want you can prepare these rectangles ahead of time. Carmen recommends a size of at least 5cm x 15cm. 3 squares, each 15cm x 15cm, are enough, but depending on how many colors you want to use you may need more. Also, please have some extra 1:3 rectangles on hand. Kami or kraft paper is recommended. Also, have 1 big square measuring 30cm x 30cm for the quick rectangle method mentioned below.

You will need a cutting tool for cutting rectangles and scissors for trimming the modules at the end. Carmen will show an easy and quick way to cut twelve 1:3-rectangles from the 30cm x 30cm square. We will fold and assemble all eight modules of the new Olga-variation (2019). For understanding the folding of the original Olga-star (2010) we will fold only two modules.

Crisp dollar bills or rectangles in a 3:7 height to width ratio.

Paper for Butterfly for Lillian: Solid-color "duo" paper at least 15 cm square (a.k.a "six-inch"). May be larger—any colors you like.

Paper for Bat: "TANT" or "Canford 150gms" paper at least 15 cm square (a.k.a "six-inch") 8-inch maximum. Any color you like. Cut the square diagonally in half, producing two half-square triangles.

Tools: Paper towels, water (a spray bottle or a cup), a bamboo skewer, or a thin knitting needle.

10"/25 cm paper (kami or biotope or similarly thin paper). A straight edge, scoring tool, and pencil could be helpful but are not necessary.

2 sheets of paper at least 12-inch (30 cm) square. Duo is a good choice for one of the squares, which will become the top, since both sides can show. The second square will become the bottom and only 1 side will show. Something lighter weight than scrapbooking paper is recommended - kami is a good choice. If you like working with heavy paper that has lots of layers to fold at once, then feel free to use scrapbooking paper, but lighter weight paper will be easier for learning. If time permits I will teach a second box top, so you could have ready an extra square of 10 to 12 inch (24 cm) or larger paper that is not duo.

Vase: a hexagon from a square of 20 cm. Thick paper (200 gsm) is better.
Leaves: Squares: 25 cm, 20 cm and 15 cm. Any paper of 80/90 gsm.

One 10"/25 cm square of kami.

Several sheets of A4 or U.S. letter size paper. One sheet of duo paper letter paper.
