Lets Make Origami

Origami is really about paper folding. However, napkin folding has some similarities with origami: it's creative, therapeutic and decorative. From a geometric point of view, the folding is identical, only the material is different.

Check out our guide to Napkin Folding. It will come in handy if you own a restaurant, or if you're planning a dinner party.

Tiptoe by the window
By the window
That is where I'll be...
Come tiptoe through the tulips
With me

Tiptoe from your pillow
To the shadow
Of the willow tree...
And tiptoe through the tulips
With me

Knee deep
In flowers we'll stray
We'll keep
The showers away.

And if I...

Kissed you in the garden
In the moonlight
Would you pardon me?

Come tiptoe through the tulips
With me!

-Tiny Tim

Yet, the great ocean hath no tone of power Mightier to reach the soul, in thought's hushed hour, Than yours, ye Lilies! chosen thus and graced!

This hang glider is a neat variation on the paper airplane. Instead of throwing it, you let it slip off your fingers. It swoops to the ground in a smooth, very gentle arc. A must-have for any fans of flying machines.
