Zombigami: Paper Folding for the Living Dead

Origami takes a grave turn in a fun and ghoulish spiralbound craft book that explains how to make 13 spooky characters from paper. Using basic folding techniques, which are visually displayed in step-by-step instructions, readers can create elaborate figures like a rising corpse, “Suzie Gravemaker,” a cross-shaped gravestone, and the headless “Abominable Deadman.” Fifty sheets of patterned origami paper are included in a back pouch. However, due to the complexity of some of the constructions, origami novices may want to start with ordinary paper before moving on to the good stuff. Ages 8–up. (Aug.)
