Swans

I helped celebrate a special 3 year old's birthday today. These origami swans were created from the wrapping paper from his birthday present. I made the large one first and he said it needed a Mommy bird and a baby bird to go with.

I like making these swans from the little sticky paper wrapper you find on silver wear and napkin rolls at restaurants. You know that green paper strip that keeps the napkin tucked up and tidy. I can usually make three or four of them and leave them on the table or talked in with the salt and pepper shakers before we leave.
