Got a load of blueberries you need to carry? Whip out a sheet of paper and make an origami box. Be an Origami McGyver and tranform that stack of paper into whatever you need at the moment. Need a garbage bin? +wah-tish+ Instant garbage bin.
Forgot your anniversary? Don’t worry. Create some origami flowers. A mugger asking for all the money in your wallet? Hand it to him–ninja star style right in the juglar.
Loud neighbors in the alley? Teach them a lesson with a legion of origami water bombs. Need an X-wing fighter? The Death Star never stood a chance against your mad origami skillz.
Thanks to Marco for inspiring this post with his inspiring conversations in his inspiring office.
I used to make the “water bombs” all the time when I was a kid. Except they were more like “paper balloons” – they get soggy too quickly if made with regular paper. Newspaper holds up a bit better to the water, but isn’t strong enough structurally. Gotta throw them quick either way. I make a paper airplane that is based on the paper balloon design. It’s pretty sweet.

Wow! This is great! I love the ninja star for muggers (ha!) and x-wing fighter! 😀
You think I could use the x-wing fighter on muggers?
… talking to me? Well, I must say I hope No one gets mugged. OK, that’s done. So, for fun I say “YES! but only if only you use the Ninja star too!” Distract the imaginary mugger with the x-wing fighter. He/she will be dazzled. Then wham! Spudart ninja star to the rescue. that’s how it plays out in my mind.
Oh that’s cool. I like the combo defense. I was thinking the X-wing fighter would be life-size. So I could hop in it and shoot down the mugger. Only I’d shoot him in like his foot or something. I wouldn’t shoot-shoot him.
life size? (is there an origami helmet you can make for yourself?) this keeps getting even better! 🙂
Oh yeah. Origami Helmet. Totally. Since each pilot customized their helmet, I choose to wear a samurai helmet. http://appbeacon.com/apps/021748/origami-helmet Darth Vader’s special fighter plane doesn’t stand a chance!
Ooo. I want this origami samurai helmet. It’s very shiny. http://www.lisashea.com/japan/origami/sales/silver/helmet/
