'Mountain folds and valley folds' - making functional origami pieces

This week we were making functional origami pieces online - Jo told us that it could be tricky doing this online, and more accessible face to face as it's so intricate.

First we made little cups, which you can use to put chips, popcorn, and chocolates in.

Then we made boxes, which were quite fiddly but made us smile when we figured out how to make them.

We had to get used to poetic origami terminology such as 'mountain folds' and 'valley folds' which helped us make our third object, Masu Boats.

We all managed to make one, two or everything.

Have a look at our screenshots to see how we got on.

Everyone enjoyed making pretty but useful origami pieces on a gloomy Saturday when the sun hid behind the clouds.

Thanks to everyone who attended - and remember to come again for the next arts and crafts session.
