Making your own geometric paper ornaments is a great way to create an exciting, trendy and highly customisable look without breaking the bank! And you don’t have to be an origami master to be able to turn paper into fun 3-dimensional shapes!

My name is Evgeniya Righini-Brand, and I am a graphic designer in love with beautiful paper and everything geometric. I’ve always been fascinated by the fantastic sculptural forms often seen in decorative objects, architectural models, haute couture fashion garments and accessories and in packaging design, and learning how to turn a simple sheet of paper into exciting 3D geometric paper objects has been a very satisfying and eye-opening experience for me as a designer, which has provided me with another creative playground and plenty of beautiful objects to use as decor items!

In this class, I am excited to guide you through the process and share with you detailed step-by-step instructions for creating 3 types of my favourite versatile paper ornaments, which make fantastic holiday, party and everyday decorations! Being based on foundational folding techniques, these ornaments are a perfect starting point for anyone new to structural paper folding. And they don’t require a lot of tools and materials, beyond standard size paper and a few common tools!
