Can you dierct me to a book with these instructions of origami ?
We are a group of Ladies who meet every Monday , and are always trying to find things to make for keeping the mind active. We are aged from 70 upwards, some of us are not very agile, most of us suffer from arthritis, but the mind is still on the go. We are not all computer savvy, and if we can all put in a bit of money to buy a book, that would be a huge help.
Thanking you in advance,
Edith Bell.
Hi Edith, great to hear you’re all keen to fold some origami, it has many benefits. There are so many origami books to choose from either online or in bookshops and hobby shops. I can recommend getting an origami kit that comes with origami paper and a little origami book that can be passed around. Or buying one each for your group. Something like this one: https://amzn.to/3LDyMfp
However, finding a nice big sturdy book in a shop may be better for learning in a group.
Best wishes,
Sarah
