Origami Wedding Dress

Day 62 - Origami Wedding Dress



This week I am trying out Origami dress.Starting with origami Wedding dress.You need a white square sheet of paper for this.It's a nice and cute little dress.

I found the last fold a bit tough as the folds are almost done and the belt part where you need to fold it would be thick due to step fold so the last fold doesnot come crisp if you are using small paper ( in my case the paper is 3*3 inch).

You get the diagram and animation at origami-club.
