About this Workshop:
Learn how to make this folded paper book structure, one with many possibilities for length and size. Based on the origami lotus form, this book is sometimes called the snake, dragon, or star accordion. After making one book structure with a hard cover, we’ll explore how this structure can be used to create seasonal garlands!
