My 14-year-old daughter is having her room redecorated and while her dad strips wallpaper, sands and paints she is busy making the Origami room lights to decorate her new-look room when it's finished.
The set contains everything you need to make the lights, including the lights! There's a "how to" guide to origami and she has really enjoyed making the little shades to fit round the lights.
She is quite patient and meticulous and only had trouble with one of the shapes but managed it in the end. If your little craftsperson is young or lacks patience this might be a set to work on together. It would also make a great gift for a student or anyone of any age (like me) who loves fairy lights. Maybe think about buying one of these lovely sets as an alternative to chocolate this Easter?
