Origami mushrooms

Small paper mushrooms have sprouted on my desk. Each is folded from a quarter sheet (a 75 mm square) of origami paper. I used a hole punch to cut out spots and attached them with a dot of glue. What am I going to do with these? No idea. But they're cute. Get folding instructions here at Origami Club.

    So cute - I've been teaching some origami folding to my daughters 4th grade class - this one is adorable, and different than the traditional animals. Love it.

    Those mushrooms made me smile and think of Super Mario Brothers. Perhaps a Nintendo enthusiast would like them?

    Or, you could just keep them on your desk since they're wicked cute :)

    I think the fact that they exist proves that there is a fairy in your house. Very lucky!

    Huh, it looks like the page won't load now. This is an old post, so it's possible the instructions I linked to have been removed since then.
