Bungle in the Jungle - Paris Try

The thing is when the video is so bad for an origami project that you must do - you may have to reinvent the steps. My elephant may never look like the original but I believe this is just as cute.

Bungle in the Jungle

 So I have been away from creative blogging for a few months. Blame it on the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France...

About a year ago I became obsessed with origami elephants but the models are very advanced. Finally the light bulb went on yesterday after so many attempts. Use a bigger sheet of paper without a pattern so you can see the folds clearly. The elephants aren't perfect but with a little practice Melissa will finally get an elephant to add to her collection.

Origami Elephants Draft
The green elephant has an excellent video by Leyla Torres at Origami Spirit designed by Mr. Fumiaki Kawahata. I warn you this model has so many folds I lost count. 

About my white elephant - this was the model that proved to be the bane of my existence. The video on Youtube is so confusing I hesitate to provide the link. So I will create a picture step by step set of instructions for you to follow.
