Review on 🎎 Japanese Origami for Beginners Kit: Master 20 Classic Models with 96-page Book, 72 Premium Papers & Instructional DVD: Ideal for Kids and Adults! by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

TERRIBLE guide and definitely not a book for beginners

It came with a lot of paper which seemed to be of pretty decent quality and the patterns were very attractive too. So much for the good news. The instructions (if you can even call them that) are terrible at best and certainly not suitable for beginner binders. I was on YouTube within the first 10 minutes of opening the set, looking at the creases that were commanded to me but never explained/demonstrated. The instructions also often forget important steps (like folding in the opposite direction of the repeated folds for symmetry) and just say "repeat on other layers". Seriously, just buy some paper and go to YouTube. This book is above average and I would not recommend starting if you are new to folding.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
