Me Vs. Paper

I recently made some origami birds for a little project I'm doing over at Casa de Contreras.

I'm a pretty visual learner so youtube was definitely the name of the game.  Following step by step instructions is for the birds. HA! Total accident, but I'm keeping it.

Anyway... I can't wait to show you what I'm going to do with these little dudes.  Or dudettes.  

And if it ends up sucking, I'm just going to pretend I never mentioned it. Blog Amnesia.

Happy hump day!

{This is called a 'Square Base.'  It's the foundation for most shapes.  It's a pain in the a$$, in my opinion.}

{This is seriously where I got lost. Backtracking makes messy birds.  Mine are messy.}
