Fabrigami

The Origami Art of Folding Cloth to Create Decorative and Useful Objects

  • 10 Want to read

Everybody knows that origami is the art of folding paper. What if you could fold up a piece of decorated cloth in the same way to make an object that is just as beautiful but more durable tan paper? Like a wallet, lovely earrings, or a decorative napkin ring?

Fabrigami is the art of folding beautiful fabrics to create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the Whimsical. It was developed by Jill Stovall working with one of the origami world's greatest icons, Florence Temko, just before she passed away. Now with the help of one of origami's rising young stars, Scott Stern, she brings Temko's last work to print for everyone to use and enjoy.

Like paper, there are countless beautiful fabric designs to choose from, and, unlike paper, fabric has the virtue of being extremely durable and useful in a wide range of applications. This book begins by presenting instructions on how to treat fabric so it holds its shape when folded. Then it provides you with a series of fun projects with easy-to-follow diagrams that will help you make fabrigami sculptures for your home or to accent a wrapped gift, or as a dinner table decoration.

Work Description

Fabrigami is the art of folding fabrics to create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the whimsical. Like paper, there are countless beautiful fabric designs to choose from, only fabric has the virtue of being extremely durable. Fabrigami began as origami legend Florence Temko's final project. Everyone knows that origami is the art of paper folding, but Temko had begun experimenting with folding fabric to make objects that are just as beautiful but more lasting than paper.
