Origami with Flyers

Post by Gimba »

I don't know how many people of you live in big cities, but if you do you will get some dumb flyers at every corner. I wonder if one can use these for Origami? Is there Origami with rectangular shapes of paper?

I often fold with flyers, but i make a square out of them first. Most of the time the paper is not very good for folding, and your fingers get dirty from the printing ink, but it works.

And there are many models that start form a rectangle, but then again, you still might need to adjust length or width... or even make them really rectangular (i hate those :D)
