[Nfb-krafters-korner] Origami Class - One Snip Star

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi all,
I will be presenting an e-mail origami class that will start on 2 December. You will learn to create a 5 pointed star by first making a few folds and then completing the project with one snip of your scissors.
With e-mail classes you will receive an e-mail each day or two, which will take you through the various steps of the project. You will also be able to communicate with the instructor and with other class members via a dedicated e-mail list. 
All you w            ill need is some rectangular copy or printer paper and medium-sized scissors. 
Of course, once you know how to make this model, you could use any coloured or textured paper to make your stars.
I'd like to invite all members to try this class. No experience of paper folding needed and you don't have to worry about the cutting either. You are only going to make one snip and it doesn't have to be perfectly straight.
If you have never tried paper folding or origami, why not give this class a go? You might be surprised at how much fun it can be to create shapes and objects from a simple piece of paper!
This is one of those projects where you do the steps of folding, then the cut, and then, finally when you open your model, you will be surprised with what you find.
This will definitely be a good activity to do with the children and hopefully just in time for the coming festive season.
This model also comes with a little lesson on U.S. history, so don't miss it.
For new members, below you will find the basic class info as it appears on the KK website.
Go to http://www.krafterskorner.org
Find the heading for "classes", and on the new page you can move to the heading of "origami" or search for the word "origami".
Follow the instructions from there and feel free to contact me for more info or help, or you could ask any of the other members on or off list if you need help signing up for a class.
The closing date for sign up is 25 November, so please hurry on over and sign up.
I look forward to welcoming lots and lots of members.

description: This class will be taught via an email list. It will teach  you how to make a 5-pointed flat star from one piece of standard-sized rectangular paper by first folding the paper, and then completing the star by making one cut with a pair of scissors. These stars can be used as ornaments and for various occasions and children's projects.

 2. Medium-sized scissors. 
additional comments: All members are very welcome. Come and join this e-mail class to work at your own pace, and don't worry if you find cutting with scissors a challenge. The one cut you will make for this model is fairly easy to master, even for those of us without any sight.
