EMBELLISHMENTS: A origami folded shirt to do you same

We are always searching about original embellishments for our pages of scrapbooking. Only a few people among us thinks of the innumerable resources of folded paper… still called origami.

Starting from a simple sheet of paper, everyone have already made “cocottes”, it is the B. A. BA of the origami!

In this technical date-page, you will produce a folded paper short-sleeved shirt, that it will then remain you to decorate to integrate it into your pages of scrap… It will be fixed such as it is on the sheet or used to slip a label journaling there…

The material

Of course, more the short-sleeved shirt is “small”, better it will be integrated in your pages… but for better learning the technique it is worth to start “large”. I thus propose to you to start with a sheet with A5 format (A4 half-page) not too thick… finally it is you who did it !

When you understand the method (not quite complicated) you can be carried some out of much smaller, with papers of various textures… but by preferably using a under-format of A4 which gives good proportions. A one $ buck has good dimensions...

- a A4 folio of the desired color
- a folder (not essential)
- Ten nimble fingers!

NOTE: the paper was downloaded on scrapbookflair, worked with ULEAD Photo Express train then printed on rather fine paper… to allow foldings...

Method

1 - Place the sheet face up to you and mark the fold medium in the direction length. Fold back then each side on this central fold

2 - Mark the top with 1,5cm then fold back backwards

3 - Give the sheet front ofyou then fold up the two corners top towards the central fold (that will form the collar of the shirt)

4 - Open the two lower corners towards the central fold, mark the fold with the folder

5- Fold up upwards and slip under the collar of the shirt… Your folding is finished!

6 - Cut out a small pocket in the falls and stick in place.

And what happens if you slip mini-tag into the small pocket of the shirt ?

7 - Still involve being maintained while cutting your starting sheet into 2… then into 2…

The record of the smallest short-sleeved shirt?

Who, while following the same technique will be able to make the smallest possible short-sleeved shirt?

Send to me the photographs of your achievements, I will publish them here!
