Fantastic Folds presents 26 innovative origami projects, as beautiful as they are useful. Each project is true origami, folded from a single sheet of paper, and includes clear step-by-step instructions. Sidebars help you review your progress at every stage, and there are suggestions on choosing and preparing the paper and on decorating the final project. Full color illustrations highlight the delights found on every page. From the whimsical practicality of"foldelopes", picture frames and a lampshade, to a herd of rare animals -- shark, a seahorse, and a warty jumping frog -- these projects will delight and inspire, whether you fold for pleasure or for a bottomless supply of inexpensive gifts.
