Origami Flasher Review

Hi guys!  Sorry that I havn't posted in a while or posted the pictures.  I've been really lazy.  Anyway, I found this video on "Youtube" that shows you how to make an origami toy called a flasher.  If you pull on  it's corners really fast, it "flashes"  open and closed.  This kind of flasher is smaller than many other kinds, but is still awsome.  Here is a link for the video if you want to make it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YSEDUwd84AYou can use just about any color paper, and this project is pretty simple and easy.  If you are a begginer at origami, however, this project may be more difficult because it involves twist folds and all that junk.  When this flasher is closed, it just looks like a small paper star kind of thing.  But when you open and close it, it swirls, which is cool.  This paper toy is really fun and I definitley recommend you make this.  Over all I give this project 5 *'s(stars).  I will be posting pictures of the flasher opened and closed andothe projects soon( I hope I don't jynx myself).  Bye guys!

Origami Peacock Review

Hey, guys! I was surfing the internet to look for cool origami projects, when I came across an origami peacock.  So I looked for instructions, and found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B9fVijOkVY.  The person giving the instructions speaks in portuguese, but since the disign for the peacock is so simple, it is easy to follow. The origami peacock itself turns out great and looks cool.  I would recommend using either a blue-green, blue, or purple-colored paper because those colors look closest to the color of a peacock.  The origami peacock represents a male, so it has a fan sort of tail.  This project takes about 5 minutes at most to make.  I definitley recommend you try to make this, because it is so easy and fun to make.

Origami Panda Review

Hey again!  I just finished making my origami panda from the video tutorial by EzOrigami on "Youtube".  If you want to make the panda yourslef, click on this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajn_2w6a-_c&NR=1.  For part 2 of the video, click here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rzSZJdick&feature=relmfu.  The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.  This project is tricky at some parts, but the outcome is great.  What is cool about the origami panda is that it can stand up without you having to hold it up.  This project is very fun, mainly because you know your gonna end up with a cool little paper panda. It is pretty easy to make, but like I said before, it has some tricky parts.  This is definitly a project I would reccomend that you do.  Hopfully soon I will post a picture of my origami panda. See you later!
