Mormon Origami Details:

There are more things to make from Sunday meeting programs than airplanes and fortune tellers; now your kids can fold CTR shields, pioneer handcarts, or the Salt Lake Temple!

Mormon Origami provides 25 simple to intermediate origami designs from the Book of Mormon and Church history. These designs can be used by teachers and parents as lesson handouts or activities to help children be reverent. This unique skill will entertain and help illustrate principles as you include these gospel-oriented designs in your lessons, activities, and everyday fun!

In our family there is an old reliable “party trick” that we each have.  My husband has a story he tells along with a simple origami trick that you can make one single cut and turn a paper into a cross.  I can make a paper crane.  It flaps its wings when you hold its neck and pull its tail.  I loved reading Mormon Origami in the hopes of learning one reliable trick to add to my repertoire.  I made the sword pretty easily, but didn’t think it was all that impressive.

Muahri made this cute origami mens shirt.  The tutorial on this is in the book, I just wasn’t able to make mine as cute.  I need to practice a bit more, but I loved her touch of using patterned paper to make it look more authentic.  What a great idea!
