I love the Origami Page a day calendar, and I got this as a Christmas gift and was excited to try something a little different. From looking a the cover there are some that look like there could be pretty interesting, but to start you off they give you pretty simple ones akin to what you learn when you are making snowflakes in elementary school. I understand this is intended as they don't want to just throw you into the hard ones but they are REALLY simple to me and I just thought I would mention. My BIG problem is the first one they gave you to work with is WRONG. The calendar gives you a sample that will NEVER produce what it says it will. It took me a little bit of frustration before I realized this. Its kind of upsetting that the first one in the calendar is incorrect. It could lead a costumer to believe they just aren't doing it right. I'll upload an image of what you get if you follow their directions and then a picture of the design they SHOULD have given to produce the results they said their design would produce. I hope this is not a common problem throughout the calendar!!
I use this in therapy and kids are very excited when it comes time to unfold, and extremely pleased when they see their finished products. There are 4 levels of difficulty with several different types of folds, such as snowflake, spider, heart, and butterfly. Each different type of fold has a card stock instruction card to show how it is done. You will need a good pair of sharp scissors, an exacto or other type of sharp knife for cutting out small, detailed areas, and a round punch is very helpful. The box is thick, the lid is hinged, and it is holding up extremely well for me. So glad to have stumbled on to this product. I will be searching it out each year from now on.
If you have never cut kirigami, this is the perfect way to start. I have collected the Day-to-Day Calendars for years, and still use some designs from 2009! The box has a nifty way of staying open so you can easily see directions. Each year has slightly different colors, and 2013 is no exception. This one includes many 2 sheet butterfly patterns, and 2 or more sheet flowers. For the different layers, they even coordinated the colors so you have light and dark to compliment your flower kirigami folds. The directions for each style of base fold has it's own sturdy card to look at again and again. An excellent way to start kirigami, or to continue in your kirigami efforts.
This calendar is a great way to learn the basics of kirigami. It provides simple instructions and gradually builds up to more advanced cutting. I just wished there was a place to download the patterns for later use!
I love Kirigami. Although I haven't finished the year because there are so many and I can't do them every day. I wish that the patterns were separate than the paper though so that I could keep the ones that I really like for future use. I do try to copy them, but that pushes back my creations even more.
This Kirigami Calendar is the greatest gift ever! It is a daily calendar. Then the next day, you take the sheet from the day before and follow the Kirigami directions. Our daughter has a stack of the most beautiful paper cut-outs we've ever seen. And she has no prior experience with Kirigami. What a great way for a little hands-on craft every day! Does the mind a good turn!
I take a few minutes each morning to cut my kirigami for the day. It is a nice pause before plunging into work. I have not looked ahead, but I usually enjoy Jeff Cole's patterns, so I have high hopes for this year.
