Box


When I first learned to make this box it was so hard that I didn't even think I could make it. I felt like giving up and then I suddenly realized when I was on the last step you just have to make good creases. Then the folds that you do depend on the creases and it helps you bring up the sides of the box.

Flowers


I have been knowing how to make this tulip and other flower ever since I was 8. I can do both by memory and it is easy to do. Each flower is about 16 steps. I have given one to Ms. Dupre and she really liked it.

Piano


When I first learned to make the piano, I couldn't really remember how to make it because I never really made a piano before. I saw how to make a piano at the bookstore and I tried to remember all the way home.

Knick Knack Box


I learned how to make a knick knack box from an origami book called Origami on the Go. It takes about 5-10 minutes to make this box. You can put jewelery, rocks or coins in it. I've made about 20 knick knack boxes in my life.

Floating Sampan


A sampan is a flat bottom small wooden Chinese boat. To make a sampan it takes about 5 - 10 minutes. I learned how to make one from my talented art teacher Ms. Hasmig Brewster. I can make one now by memory. Yes, it really floats for a few minutes because it is really thick at the bottom. Depending on how thick the paper is, the longer it can float.
