Wrap your chopsticks in patterned origami paper to add an Asian flair to your oriental-style home party.
Approximate Time: 5 minutes
Supplies:
- 1 sheet of origami paper, 7 x 12 inches
Instructions:
- Fold the paper in half and then each half again into the center.
- Unfold and turn the upper left corner down to the center crease.
- Fold the bottom up into the center, making valley folds, and continue until the object is the width of one fold.
- Turn over the end, marking the crease when the turned end is level with the visible edge of the turned corner.
- Fold back the end, turning it at right angles and making a mountain fold.
- Lift the paper and wrap the tail once around the bottom of the object.
- Fold the end of the tail into a triangle before turning the end over and tucking it in place.
Note: To finish your table setting, put the sharp end of the chopsticks inside the wrapper, with the handles extending out of the wrapper.
