I’m tried making it but…ITS SO HARD NOT EASY!!!!
I had to do this turle 4 times over again because I kept messing up by making a “square” XD
But over all it’s COMPLETLY worth it and I absolutely LOVE IT SO MUCH!
I even named HIM Jeremy Jr. And gae him a tiny tiny little hat :’)
nice
it’s ok but it’s not really origami if you use scissors and it’s a bit flat it should be a bit more 3D
Thx, I liked this, but isn’t it technically not origami if you use scissors?
Yes, it is technically called kirigami I believe, but still cool turtle.
