This tutorial is an ingenious photo frame by Larry Hart. It’s a really useful fold and fits a 4 x 6 photo or postcard if made from A4. Our beautiful model is the late Tortie in her much younger days 😍

Video here - you have 7 days left #lastchancetofold

This versatile and simple modular elephant by Robert Foord is our #lastchancetofold video today. I think it’s ideal for show casing your packs of lovely patterned paper. Why not finally open that special pack and have a go?

Today’s video is the Weimar bowl by Nick Robinson. It’s an elegant but fairly simple model. Nick also includes instructions on how to divide a square into fifths. Remember there’s less than one more month before the videos get deleted. #lastchancetofold

A really original way of displaying a 1000 cranes. Myles custom built the inside of the 120 x 70 cm frame to create a dual shadow box. 500 strung cranes are on display at the front while 499 are hidden at the back. Myles has left the last crane unfolded so the owner of the wish can remain open.

There’s just a day left to register for this free online event. Gerardo’s events are really well organised with a warm, friendly and supportive atmosphere so well worth a try if you’ve not joined any online origami sessions before.

On the Wings of Love by the much missed Francis Ow. Francis created several books of heart folds. Please share your favourite Francis Ow hearts with us. A quick google will provide you with numerous videos, photos and diagrams but do check out his own site, owrigami.com #BosLove #britishorigami

February is flying by (well compared to January anyway.) Just one week left to get your hearts folded for Valentine’s Day. Lucky the BOS is here to help. Here’s a selection of models from Nick Robinson’s book ‘Origami with Love’ available from his website nickorigami.com #boslove
