>> 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.
>>
>> Sign Up Date: 25 November 2013
>> start date: December 2, 2013
>> level: Beginner
>> requirements: None
>> 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.
>> supplies needed:
>> 1. Standard rectangular copy or printer paper, 3 or more sheets.
>> 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.
