The project that folded

Today's project was not the greatest success as far as kid interest is concerned but something good still came out of it. I was showing them a fancy origami napkin fold called Bird of Paradise from a book called Lifestyle Origami. The kids weren't terribly interested and soon ran off to do their own thing, they were playing a bus trip or something much more exciting. But I learned a new thing and realized that a) with the holidays coming up it might be a useful skill and b) it could be useful to other people so it would make for a good post idea. So here is a a link for fancy napkin folds there are also recipes and housekeeping tips on the same site. So even if this particular project folded (literally in my case) it was still quite useful as it turned out.
