Irsifolding is a wonderful technique for children from 6/7 years old. You need simple materials: paper, scissors and cellotape. If you have never tried it, go HERE (page 2 here) for a free workshop. You will notice, that you work on the backside of the card and only when you finish the folding you turn the card and......... wow, this is beautiful. That is what children love!

Start with downloading the pattern with a right mouse click. Make a template from cardboard as you see on picture #1. You can use all kinds of paper, even pages of glossy magazines. Cut them into 1 inch strips. Make sure that 2 kids have a roll of cellotape. Stick the pattern to the table.

Photo 2-4 show you the work in progress. Do not forget you need a piece of shiny paper for the middle (gold or silver). Now you can finish the egg at the front. Add a text and maybe a picture. I used a bunny stamp, but you can also use a picture from a colorbook and resize it.
En als je niets hebt met eieren, kun je van deze vorm natuurlijk ook wat anders maken. Bijvoorbeeld een lieveheersbeestje. Neem dan wel een andere kleur papierstrips.


Nog vragen? Mail me gerust!
And if you don't feel like making eggs, you can also use this form to make something else.
How about a ladybird? Just use a different color of paperstrips. Still have questions?
Feel free to send me an email.
