On my bookshelf I have several books on paper folding. One I especially like for inspiration is Structural Packaging Design — a book of patterns for making boxes and bags and displays. It’s one of a series, my friend Cathy has How to Fold which has patterns for making envelopes and folders and brochures. Both books come with a CD of the patterns, so you can easily resize or tweak them. Over the past couple of years I’ve made most of the patterns in Structural Packaging Design, which has quite increased my technique and understanding of folding and 3D structures. I was reminded of Structural Packaging Design earlier this week when I stumbled on Paper Foldables, a set of free figures that you “Print. Cut. Fold. Tape.” like the sheep to the right. |
Paper Foldable’s Sicky Cat, complete with collar, very nice! Another great side for paper pattern links is paperforest.blogspot.com.
thank you for this link – i know exactly what i will be doing with my son this afternoon 🙂
[and i’ll be following up that other book, too…]
