Oriland Magic Star: Mesmerizing Action Origami Paperback – March 23, 2014

I ordered book 1 figuring it would be basic paper folding, but it was anything but. I did return it to Amazon because I knew I was out of my league. The results are amazing, but I won't be making them.

Took me 4 tries, but the final result is beautiful and works! Do make a larger version first. Actual origami paper works best, but you can use 20 lb copy paper (which is very hard to find in colors other than pastels). I made one star with bright colored 24 lb copy paper, but it's hard going - don't start for the first time with 24 lb paper. The photos are very good - the line drawings very confusing. Tip: After the initial folds, to do the "step folds," count the rows as 1 thru 8 from the top down, then the step folds consist of folding rows 2 and 3 under 4, and rows 6 and 7 under 5; from the right side you will then be looking at rows 1, 4, 5 & 8. To see what is meant by "cornice" folds, go to the back of the book in the assembly instructions and look at the photos (I couldn't figure anything out from the line drawings). So - 5 stars for an enchanting creation, and down to 4 stars for instructions that have some serious holes.

The Oriland Magic Star is mesmerising. Lots of folds to make and looks complicated. I haven't made one yet, but thoroughly examined the book. Kids and adults will love to get one of these as a gift. May be a bit complicated for those who are not inclined to this type of origami, but would still like to receive one. Well worth the price.

Interesting material, clear instructions. I wish there was an instruction video...

My friend like it. Good +++

I was a little disappointed by this book. The model is truly beautiful, but the instructions are unnecessarily complicated. The foto instructions are divided into many small steps, but the most critical steps are not very clear. Diagrams would have been more helpful in my opinion. At the end I had to tape my model together, because the paper tore apart after too many tries to find out what was meant by "cornice folds".

Clear and pleasant book

Não é um livro ruim mas acho que deveria ser avisado que não é simples é para origamistas experientes, o que não é o meu caso é para fazer um demora consideravelmente.
