Instead, make it into a handsome, sturdy origami box! This one was made from eight of last year’s calendar pictures. For me, this is the most satisfying way of recycling: making something beautiful-but-outdated into something beautiful and new.
If you’d like to learn how to make this box, along with many other fascinating origami containers, start planning now to take my weeklong class, “Origami Containers,” at Cedar Lakes Crafts Center in Ripley West Virginia. The class is scheduled for August 17-22, 2014, and I’d love to fill it up in advance! This is a Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) class. With prices starting at $487, it’s a remarkably good value for a week that includes tuition, a comfortable lodge room, and plenty of good food. All this in a picturesque place chock-full of West Virginia hospitality. Get all the details at the Road Scholar website.
