I haven't had a chance to try the instructions: just looking at the book, though, they seem large and clear enough to be legible and fairly straightforward. There are instructions for models including Santa Claus, Kris Kringle (who seems to be a Saint Nicholas character), an angel, witch, Grim Reaper, Cat's Skull, Jack-o-'Lantern, etc, 14 in all. If you wanted to make a sleigh with eight tiny reindeer and the jolly gentleman himself, the patterns are all here and it would be a striking decoration. The author is not a purist and many or most of the models are enhanced by paper cutting, colouring, and the use of different colours of paper in different shapes and sizes. Santa and Witch, for example, both have conical hats made by rolling, gluing and trimming a cone out of paper.

I consulted my beginner's manual, watched a couple of videos, and improvised, and now I can get some of the designs to resemble the pictures.

Zombigami is not for origami purists, however; the folds require cutting and recommend gluing.

Still, it's pretty fun.

Another way to impress people with your money. Hey, big spender--pull out that bill and...fold it. Duy Nguyen, the popular author of Dinosaur Origami and many other books, presents a creative new way to make the most of your money. Why spend your bucks buying origami paper--when the money itself can be the paper? It adds a unique twist to traditional origami projects, plus you don't have to look any further than your wallet to find...
