Origami

A couple weeks ago, I went to the paper store in Yokosuka. This store has every imaginable paper product available. Cards, stationary and of course origami paper. I purchased several packs of different sized origami paper because I had an idea for our stairwell. Here was how I first used the origami paper. 
I used it to cover a big wooden D I bought on Amazon. 

This is the centerpiece of the left side of the stairs. 

I purchased a pack of plain canvas from Amazon and painted them. It provides a splash of color to the sterile white stairs. 

The art project didn’t take as much origami paper as I anticipated. Meaning, I had a bunch left over. On this overcast, gloomy and drizzly Monday, I decided to give origami a go. 

Origami is the art of folding paper. The ultimate goal is to transform a square flat sheet of paper into a sculpture. I was surprised at not only how fun and addicting making origami can be but, also how easy it is to do! In fact, there is an app for that! Who knew? Several of my creations today. 

When in Japan, learn to make “origami to add fun to life.”
