Origami Chic: A Guide to Foldable Fashion

Sok Song. Capstone Young Readers, $14.95 paper (240p) ISBN 978-1-62370-771-2

Song (Crease + Fold) clearly explains how to use origami to create tiny skirts, blouses, swimsuits, and fashion accessories just the right size for paper dolls, scrapbooks, or other methods of display. Each exercise opens with a quick rundown of the item’s history or use (“The LBD—also known as the little black dress—is an absolute must for any fashionista’s closet”), followed by illustrated step-by-step directions for folding crop tops, rompers, high heels, sunglasses, and other objects. More than 40 removable sheets of origami paper—featuring animal prints, florals, and other vibrant designs—are included. Ages 9–13. (Sept.)
