Use heavy weight paper (cardstock) for the assignment.

Paper may look flat and two-dimensional, but it can be transformed into a three-dimensional form simply by folding, bending, and manipulating its surface. In this exercise, you will explore how different cuts and fold patterns change the way paper moves through space.

Think like a sculptor: Start with a flat surface. Change it. Transform it. Create volume.

Pay attention to the line styles.

Use X-acto knife for cutting and light scoring. It works great for well defined ridges.

Use scoring tool to define the folds that have ridges down.

Cut out the shape. Use a cutting mat and a sharp blade.

Make center cuts

Use a knife and a scoring tool and trace the template.

Start folding based on the lines style.

Done!

This one is more challenging. It has curves.

Score the two curves.

Use a burnisher to help uou fold the curved creases.

Done!

The most challenging one. Be patient with it. Take your time on folding!

Use any tool that will help you make the creases. Burnishers usually have a straight end and a curved. Use both or pick one to slowly fold the ridges.

Done!!
