Synopsis

Origami, or paperfolding, is a modern phenomenon with ancient roots. It is impossible to say when and where paper was first folded, or who it was that first discovered that paperfolding could be more than just a practical way to prevent furniture rocking. But what we do know is that today's paperfolders will happily fold virtually anything, anywhere: Paris Metro tickets, advertising flyers, teabag labels, business cards and so on. It is therefore not surprising that paperfolders should also have begun to explore the folding potential of that other modern phenomenon, the sticky note, which provides some unique design surprises of its own. As far as origami goes, there is, as this book shows, little that can not be done with sticky notes and a little ingenuity. The main limiting factor is the size of the notes, which militate against complexity. Consequently, the designs included in this book are necessarily simple, but this should be seen as a bonus rather than a disadvantage. And, as sticky notes are usually close at hand in offices, you should never find yourself with a dull moment at work again!

About this title

Synopsis

Every desk in the world is littered with them; we use them up without even thinking about it. Like elastic bands and paperclips, the desk note is ubiquitous. This unique book shows you how to reach out during those dull moments at work, during an interminable phone call, or boring meeting, peel one off and craft something beautiful. Specially devised by David Mitchell, expert and innovative origamist, these fun designs are easy to make and attractive. Within a short space of time you'll be able to fold complicated-looking origami from simple desk notes, delighting and impressing your co-workers. Including 3-D animals, posies that can be used to attach messages, geometric designs, and much more, the 20 projects are shown in clear step-by-step diagrams with photography of the finished piece to show what it should look like. Each has been designed to make use of the sticky part of the note. With Sticky Note Origami to hand you need never be bored at work again.
