RT: 2-piece 19.5" x 19.5" squares of Fabriano Tiziano 160 g/m2

I suppose I should fold some origami candy to put inside? Or an origami candle?

Halloween Fold-and-Give

First published in Creased Magazine, issue #5, I've been folding lots and lots of Talo Kawasaki's patty bat and giving them away- to my gymnasts, to random strangers...always bringing smiles to faces.  Not only does it create a great sound with the movement, but this model lends itself very well to shaping- from the face to the wings, if you want to go that extra fold.

I bought 500 black linen paper in bulk for about $27.
