JUNKMAIL ORIGAMI SHIRTS

I have always had a 'thing' for the patterns inside junkmail / security envelopes. They come in many variations & are a hugely underrated, great source of free patterned paper.

I had no idea exactly how many different patterns I had but decided to try & make 100 (different) origami shirts from them. I am not very good at precise folding but I do enjoy making the shirts. I used a roughly A6 size piece of paper for each shirt & embellished them with brads for buttons.

At the end I actually found I had 102 different patterns (& I have found a few more since). I have now mounted them in 4 frames of 25.
