When Cindy Ng was ten, she desperately wanted a pair of high heels, but her mother wouldn't let her have them. Even when she was old enough to wear heels, she still had to dream about looking cool--because she could barely walk in them! No problem! Cindy decided if she couldn't wear cool heels, at least she could fold them. And that was the beginning of Girligami. ..
This new kit is origami with a sassy twist--a box full of fun that lets you turn bits of paper into fashion, romance and all things cute and pretty. This kit features 18 custom-designed projects that take only a minute or so make. The full-color booklet gives clear step-by-step instructions on how to make each model. And it has an added section showing you how to turn your paper creations into cool earrings, greeting cards and other useful and not-so-useful (but no less fun) things you can give to your friends. The glossy, custom-patterned folding sheets are all imprinted with guidelines for easy, foolproof folding.
Creativity doesn't get any easier or more fun than this. So invite your friends over, open up the box, and have a blast!
