SLJ (W2/A19): Kick Start 3D Paper

 LI: To make some origami stars by folding paper.


The above picture showcases the outcome of my nineteenth Kick Start Summer Learning Journey Task. Origami is a Japanese word which means paper folding, from "ori" meaning folding and "kami" meaning paper. For this activity, I started by watching the introduction video which was very helpful as I came to know the steps and materials required. To make the stars, I needed strips of paper with a length of 20 centimeters or more and a breadth of 1, 1.5 or 2 centimeters. Then I folded the piece of paper in a shape of a pentagon and pushed the sides to bend it. The bending was the most trickiest part for me, thus I watched the video again and again. Once the design is finished I clicked its picture with a suitable background. A tip I would give to others who would be making this origami is to watch the video carefully and again because, I messed up the dimension which made my previous star look a little clumsy. I really enjoyed completing this task and I am excited to complete the next part of this activity.

  1. Kia ora Fiona,

    Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for commenting on my Summer Learning Journey blog post again! I am glad you liked my work and thank you for the positive feedback. I agree, origami requires a lot of patience. Wow, that's a great idea. I would love to decorate them. I have ten of these star and I will add colors and glitter in them now. Have you ever made an origami before? Do you know how to make anything else except a star?

    Thank you for the comments!
    I am looking forward for your reply.
