Folding
101
The best place to start is at the beginning. In Fold
It, that means talking about everything from types
of paper to types of folds. Karen shares her techniques for creating
crisp folds, cutting mat board, and finding the grain of paper.

You
are able to see exactly where to move the paper as Karen describes
what she is doing. I love using the DVD in the computer so I can
use the pause button as many times as I want while working on a
certain fold before going on to the next fold; this was especially
helpful when I made the "Folded Box."

If
you think origami is only about making paper cranes, think again.
In this DVD Karen shows you how to fold beautiful papers into envelopes,
boxes, gift bags, earrings, and books. ... If you have ever tried
origami and found yourself tangled up in all the diagrams and references
to "valley folds" and "mountain folds" I think
you'll find the DVD to be less tricky to understand. The handwork
is close up, well lit and clear. ... This DVD, as are all PageSage
DVDs, is well-made and enjoyable to watch.
