200 Origami Papers Hola Mexico!

Embrace the vibrant spirit of Mexico through origami, with 25 stunning step-by-step projects and 200 sheets of gorgeously patterned, tear-out origami paper.

The perfect two-in-one package: pick your favourite project, tear out your chosen paper then get folding straight away!

• Perfect for complete beginners as well as experienced papercrafters looking for both a sourcebook of stunning papers and fresh ideas.
• 25 stunning yet simple projects, inspired by Mexico’s rich cultural heritage including a sombrero, chilli pepper, cactus, Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), mariachi guitar and calavera (skull), plus Frida Kahlo’s dress and fan.
• All the projects are explained clearly with step-by-step illustrations. Each design comes with a difficulty level, so you can build your skills at your own pace.
• The 200 sheets of paper are the perfect weight and size for origami. Each sheet is double-sided: one side features a stunning pattern, from skulls and traditional geometric designs to cactuses, while on the other is a bold pop of solid colour for contrast.
• The papers are 17 × 17cm (6½ × 6½in) square; larger than standard origami papers (which are 15 × 15cm/6 × 6in) to allow for the papers to be cut up to fold smaller components, or to be trimmed down to standard size if required.
• The book begins with an introduction to essential folding techniques, including horizontal, vertical and diagonal folds, as well as more advanced techniques like the reverse fold and accordion fold.

Whether you’re crafting a golden eagle, a fiesta rosette or a delicate dahlia, you’ll experience moments of calm and creative satisfaction as you journey through Mexico’s colourful traditions and artistic expressions.
