I have had this blog for quite a while, but I don't use it too often. I've actually used it primarily for other technology classes from the UofM. I really wish I could keep my blog up, but I have never been the journaling type.
I was trying to think of something interesting to post, and I thought I would put something Valentine's Day related since the holiday quickly approaches.
I did some searching and found this great website where you can learn how to make an origami heart. There are quite a few ideas, but my favorite is the "Jar of Hearts" pictured below. Inspired by the Christina Perri song, I thought that it would be a cute and easy decoration/gift! You can even learn how to fold a dollar into a heart shape!

This morning I busted a work study student folding little stars instead of working. I'll give her this and she can fold hearts during down time to decorate the library! Anne
ReplyDeleteThe hearts are cool. I made a stained glass heart last weekend and then when I was doing the finishing touches on the soldering, I heated the glass too much and cracked it. Bummer! I think your paper hearts are much more durable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! This will be a welcome change for my jr hi kids who are right now very reluctant learners! Maybe folding fingers will be more enjoyable than typing fingers for a day! Could anyone access the dollar bill one? I apparently don't have the software needed.
ReplyDeleteWe folded hearts today in 7th grade and 3rd grade. both classes loved it. We talked a lot about 90 degree and 45 degree angles, makes me feel better to have added some math! Thanks again for the links Christina!
