I like the thought of Trash origami because it has to do with recycled items that are flat. Its also great to keep those old cards that you didnt want to toss; instead make something out of it and hang it. Clear the clutter and make something beautiful out of it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Interesting projectsBy schericaneI suppose that origami pros might fine this book too basic; but for beginners and novices it is a good learning tool. I like the vivid color photos and the drawings for the folding instructions. The added DVD made it worth the price for me.
