Origami is known to have therapeutic effects: the focus required for the folds naturally encourages a state of mindfulness, while completing a model brings a sense of joy and satisfaction. This collection of 15 projects will introduce you to this healing, creative craft. The 64-page book guides you through basic folding techniques and then provides clear, step-by-step instructions to make the projects, which include a box, starfish, tree, flower basket, and boat—all beautiful creations for your own home or to give as gifts. The paper block provides 250 sheets of traditional origami paper, including a range of stunning patterns, so you can begin making beautiful projects straight away.
