Fold decorative origami objects out of cloth with this easy-to-use origami book.Fabrigami is the Asian art of folding fabrics to create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the whimsical. Like paper; there are countless beautiful fabric designs to choose from; only fabric has the virtue of being extremely durable.Fabrigami began as origami legend Florence Temkos final project. Everyone knows that origami is the art of paper folding; but Temko had begun experimenting with folding fabric to make objects that are just as beautiful but more lasting than paper. Sadly; Temko passed away before the book was completed; but her collaborator; Jill Stovall; continued their work. Now; Stovallmdash;with the help of Scott Stern; a rising young star of origamimdash;brings Fabrigami to print for everyone to use and enjoy.This origami book begins by presenting instructions on how to treat fabric so it holds a shape when folded. Then Stovall shares a series of fun craft projects with simple origami-style diagrams that you can use to make a range of lovely objects. Stiffening the fabric requires some practice; but the folds are all easy enough to be considered origmi-for-kids projects and are a great way to learn origami. Cloth origami projects include: Fan-tastic Fold Earrings Evening Wine Coat Florences Hexagon Box Cloth Kimono Card Pleated Peacock
