We use it for writing; we use it for note-taking; we use it for books; we use it for printing.
Paper is an everyday material we come across and use in our daily lives. All my life I've used paper for various purposes except one: origami.

Creating, using, or designing anything in 3D form has always been a weakness of mine. I usually coward away from the task but not anymore. For this project, I decided origami was a good fit to explore paper as a crafty material for three-dimensional designing. I remember origami being a huge craft in my childhood. While I participated by watching, everyone else was folding away, including my grandmother who helped popularized this origami movement in our neighborhood. I hope this project's process will help me hone some crafting skills and build a foundation for 3D designing. I'll be making three iterations, choosing three different forms or tutorials from this blogger's master list. Other sources for this process will come from YouTube tutorials, fellow bloggers, Pinterest, and DIY projects.

Let the folding begin.
