Does anyone know how to do Iris paper Folding. I have gone through the directions several times but still can not figure it out.
I know that you work around the pattern but is the paper layered or what.

If you're anything like me, pictures will be the most help.
Try this website:

Something to remember is that you want that folded edge to be nice and sharp. I did this with a class of wild childs and they all found it manageable enough to engage them and went kind of crazy making all kinds of patterns. It almost became its own epidemic! Once you catch on, you're addicted.
