Brians is just 10 years old, and is already designing his own models, along with diagrams! I admire his ambition, which is why I enjoy sharing his work. He hopes to be a master at origami one day, which I think is pretty cool. Thank you, Brians, for granting me permission to create this video. Find Brians on Facebook and say "hi!"

In this video, I'll be showing you how to fold an origami heart designed by Brians Tjipto Meidianto. You can stand the heart on any flat surface, and it even has a little flap at the front that can be used to hide a tiny note. ;-) I cut a strip from the sticky part of a Post-it® Note to write "Thanks!" It's a nice little gesture for someone this Thanksgiving, or for any other occasion when you want to remind someone that you're thinking of them (e.g., Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc.). You can also use it as a picture holder (place a lightweight photo behind the flap), or attach another origami model to the flap.

Tutorial on how to fold an origami / kirigami paper airplane. This origami plane is called the "Swallow Airplane" because it looks like a bird. It has been named the "best" paper airplane in the world because it flies further and faster than the traditional paper airplane (tutorial to come at some point!). I guess that's for you to decide?
You can even adjust which direction you want the plane to turn by toying around with the wing (i.e. angling left wing slightly higher than the right wing will make the plane turn left; vice versa). I've been told that it can also "boomerang" back to you, but I haven't quite mastered that part of it. It takes a little practice! :-) With Summer coming our way, kids (and big kids alike, hehe) can start taking their crafts outdoors! Yay! :-) I'll probably be making some more airplane tutorials. It's just going to take me a while. Not enough hours in the day! Ideally, I'd love to film these tutorials in Central Park. I tried, but it didn't go too well: Wind + naked people playing Frisbee + the sound of ambulances, fire trucks, and car horns = very BAD combination for filming. True story, by the way, haha. |
