When I saw this book "Origami Suncatchers" I was intrigued. The folding is pretty simple and they designs in a window will be very pretty. I plan on covering all the bedroom windows in them, just because I can. And from outside, it will probably look fun. Or crazy, I guess it depends on who's looking at it!
Here are the supplies I used:
First you take 2 pieces of origami paper, fold them in half horizontally and then in half vertically. Then you cut along the folds to create 8 smaller squares.
Then you take each square, turn it so it's a diamond, then fold the left corner to the right corner like so:
Unfold it, then take each corner and fold it in toward the center like so and glue them down:
Keep going until they are all done and look like this (only glued, forgot to glue this one before the picture!):
Next you put glue on the lower right triangle and glue another triangle to it, then the left triangle as seen here:
Keep going until they are all glued, and then hang in the window!! (It's dark out, so would be pointless if I do that now!):
