Good birthday present?

My friend's birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to make her something cool out of origami paper, but I can't find anything that doesn't have some kind of impossible fold! I wanted to make her a Narwhal, because Narwhals are awesome, but I'm stuck on this one step. P:

Anyone have any better ideas for a present I could make? :/

A bouquet of tulips 😊 they are easy and if you do a ton of them in rainbow colours it will look really cool 😊

No problem ^.^ I enjoy origami and I like helping people out with it 😊

@boxofcrayons I love origami myself, but when I get stuck, I'm angered easily and I can give up pretty easily too. 😋

@takatheeducatedkid
lol oh yeah, when I try making things that are too complex for my very low skill level I end up in quite a rage -.-'

takaedakumi • 26 January 2012 at 4:11 PM

@boxofcrayons I even cried a little in my anger at the impossible Narwhal instructions. xD

boxofcrayons • 26 January 2012 at 4:14 PM

@takatheeducated kid I don't blame you! My friend and I have an ongoing narwhal joke and I tried to make her one a few years ago. It was miserable! There are some REALLY complicated things out there. I stick to flowers. 😊

takaedakumi • 26 January 2012 at 4:16 PM

@boxofcrayons I thought to make a Narwhal because we always talk about the Charlie The Unicorn YouTube things. 😋

But I wouldn't be surprised if you and I came across the same impossible instructions. xD
