With Halloween around the corner, Origami has cast a spell upon me, I found some Halloween card stock, (you can use paper stock as well) and I went with 2 patterns this week. A man's shirt and a cute but simple dress. There are many patterns out there and videos. Here are a couple that I found the easiest to follow. With some practice and repetition and few scrunched up balls that just did not suit me perfectly, ok, that is my inner voice speaking. (it certainly tests your patience and perseverance) You can do this too.
Suggestion on what you can do with them once completed.
frame them
sends as gift cards
name plates
Use a whole puncher and some string and you could drape this around a window. Think a Halloween Bunting !
Just follow the patterns below, take your time, you will be surprised at how
good you will get at this... I personally have made over 50 dresses and 50 shirts todate...

All Halloween buttons can be found on link above.
Don't you just love this spider web stock, image fabric like this...
I love the theme this stock pad had. There are at least two
of each design.
I suppose this was one of my favorites. Love grey and white and those
ghost buttons just make it so frightening lol NOT!
This card stock I found at Michaels and you can still purchase one and get
another pad free.
Pattern and Video for projects above
This pattern maker used a 12 inch sheet of paper, I chose 6 inch square pieces of cardstock. Once you know how to make these you can make 4 inch squares up to 12 inch squares. Adorn them with shellys buttons and you have a unique card to send or frame. (I noted many men do origami)
This is my favourite video for the dress, you can keep watching it till you memorize the steps..
I watch videos 4 x before I even start, always using a 6 inch square of cardstock.
Where he folds in the centre, I fold 1/3 at the top to make a higher bodice.
There are many vidoes on you tube. I have watched dozens, I try
to add the ones that are the best for you to follow. There were some that skipped steps and went so fast you could not see what they were doing.
because you matter
