Make fresh and fashionable origami projects for girls with this fun
origami kit! 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
modern and contemporary paper craft kit is origami with a sassy
twist--a box full of fun that lets crafters turn bits of paper into
3D origami fashion, romance and all things cute and pretty. Each of
the custom-designed origami projects takes only a minute to make
and are a great way to learn origami. The full-color origami book
gives clear step-by-step instructions on how to make each 3D
origami model. And it has an added section showing origami paper
folders how to turn their paper creations into cool earrings,
greeting cards and other useful and not-so-useful (but no less fun)
things folders can give to their friends. The glossy,
custom-patterned origami folding sheets are all imprinted with

from everything around himself. When he grows bigger, so do his
ideas, and something begins to take shape... can you guess what it
might be? Jorn's story is about embracing dreams, believing in your
own abilities, and the power of new ideas. Written in honour of the
