My daughter, Little Miss, wanted to try out some origami with me, so we went searching on YouTube for something she could try out. Finally decided on this rather cute Japanese school bag, designed by Fumiaki Shingu. Like most of his origami, this one is also fairly easy to do. It is made from 3 squares - one forms the back, one the front and the third one forms the front flap and the back straps.
Little Miss decided to go for a multi-coloured bag, so it is easy to make out where each of the squares fit in. We used 6 inches squares and the final bag ended up around 2 inches tall.
The front flap opens up, so it is possible to fill the little bag with tiny, little things to carry along! Talk about impractical!! But Little Miss simply adores the bags :)
