Fabric Oragami

Fabric Oragami. Who knew? Apparently, some very generous soul named Glenda knows. And even more apparently, knows a lot.

Glenda explains: "It's quicker than quilting, more forgiving than paper, and durable. If you make a mistake, just iron and refold. All you need is fabric stiffener, a plastic card for a spreader, a screen and an iron. The fabric stiffener can be purchased at most craft or fabric outlets. The use of scrap fabrics, makes this a quilter's dream! Some origami only require 6 square inches of fabric."

As far as I can tell, Glenda is the inventor and chief proponent of this unique art. Her site includes page after page of her amazingly crafty playfulness. Each image is accompanied by a diagram that will show you how to fold your own: boxes, ornaments, purses, notecards, book covers, dividers, wallets, purses. It just goes on and on - once again revealing what the mind can accomplish when the heart laughs.
