Default Origami

I've been interested in this for years, mostly when I was a kid it was just paper planes, but last year I got a book with some designs and only really had a go at some this Christmas. I got a lot of paper in different colours and designs and have been making random little things, some are quite nice as decorations and such. I know that mostly what I've made is just very basic stuff, there is some amazing stuff you can find online, but anyway, here are a few of the things I've made.

A basic box, made from 2 sheets (1 for the box, and 1 for the lid)





A couple of stars, 1 sheet each



A 'spinner' made of 12 sheets (6 hidden away, inside to keep it together)



A Japanese brocade, made from 6 sheets



A smaller one...



...which makes a nice little Christmas tree decoration...



Father Christmas in his sleigh, the main body made from 1 sheet, mounted on card
