ChatterboxSt Mary MacKillop
A chatterbox is an origami paper craft that is fun to fold and even more fun to use. Perched on top of two thumbs and two fingers. It requires only a single sheet of paper and a simple folding technique.
Materials• Paper measuring 21 cm (8 in)
square• OR use the template• Scissors (Optional)
InstructionsStep 1 Prepare your paper. Trim
it with scissors to the correct size if necessary or cut out the template.
Step 2 Place the printed side paper face down, fold each corner into the center and point crease. Be sure not to overlap the flaps. Flip the paper over.
Step 3 Bring the four new corners into the center point and crease. Flip over again.
Step 4 Fold in half lenthwise with coloured squares on the outside and flatten. Fold in half widthwise and flatten.
Step 5 Place the thumb and pointer finger of each hand into the folds. Bring all the points together. You now have a chatterbox!
