Synopsis

Discover the origami art of folding cloth to create decorative and useful objects!

Fabrigami is the Asian art of folding fabrics to create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the whimsical. Like paper, there are countless beautiful fabric designs to choose from, but only fabric has the virtue of being extremely durable.

This origami book begins by presenting instructions on how to treat fabric, so it holds a shape when folded. Then author Stovall shares a series of fun craft projects with simple origami-style diagrams that you can use to make a range of lovely objects. Stiffening the fabric requires some practice, but the folds are all easy enough to be considered origami-for-kids projects and are a great way to learn origami.

Cloth origami projects range from fabrigami sculptures you can use or wear, to household decorations and elegantly wrapped gifts, such as:

  • Fan-tastic Fold Earrings
  • Evening Wine Coat
  • Florence's Hexagon Box
  • Cloth Kimono Card
  • Pleated Peacock
