Origami 折り紙 Exchange

We're so excited to learn a new skill with you this month AND complete a fun service project!  

If you've signed up for the project, you will have received an email with details on pick up. Email klschaberg2@alaska.edu if you think you signed up but didn't get the details!

Instructions are included in your kit.  If you lose your instructions or want to play along with us on your own, a copy can be found here!

Practice Makes Perfect!

Your kit includes some printed instructions for how to do some easier origami folding, but sometimes, watching a video can make things a bit easier!   Check the videos out below for some easy and more challenging origami folding (note: this may not align exactly with the instructions on your paper).

​BE SURE TO SAVE ONE SHEET FOR YOUR PEACE EXCHANGE!

Origami Videos!

Note the importance of hard creases and making sure things line up!

Ready for the Origami Exchange Project?

We are working with Armed with the Arts, Inc and will be trading your peace origami with another child somewhere in the world.

We will be collecting your peace doves and cranes at the 4-H office up until March 31!  Want to join us? Here's what you need to do:

• Get a square piece of paper!
  
• Remember to draw pictures or write messages of peace on your origami paper before you start.
• Follow one of the instructions below (heart, dove or crane are all options!) and fold your creation.
• Drop your origami back off to the office before March 31
• Be on the look out for when we receive cranes from a different country!
