This was a fun little craft book with adorable and creative projects. Instructions are relatively simple and diagrams of origami fold techniques are included which are helpful to those not familiar with origami. There are many different projects to inspire your creativity.

Do NOT Recommend on Kindel!!

This book is not legible in kindle format. Yes, I am 52 and use +1.0 reading glasses, but all my other books words can be adjusted - not in this book. The images can be zoomed unfortunately pages have words + images and those the software is unable to zoom so 90% of the book cannot be read by any person with the slightest imperfection in vision.

I do NOT recommend.

The book cost 10.99 for the kindle format I can't return to pay the extra 2.00 to get the book. No, I would have to eat this 10.99 and pay additional 12.99 for the book. I think I will try YouTube for free. From what I have seen of the book it is not worth an investment of over 25.00$. There are other origami jewelry books to try and I definitely advice seeking help elsewhere!

Good Luck to those seeking to find guidance with this book!

Cute designs

Like this book better than others I have perused. I plan to try some patterns right away, like the butterfly, crane, box, and star.

Note: Full review at Books and Things Blog

I've seen origami paper jewelry on Etsy and I've wanted to try this for a long time. I saw this book and I thought that now might be the time to try it. It gave some good hints and tricks for making the jewelry (like where to pierce the paper and what to use). I did have some problems with the diagrams in making the origami.

I had yet to try to make a butterfly. I loved the earrings they made with the paper. I didn't have origami paper on hand so I knew there would be a difference with the outcome. Papers have weave and texture and that is why you should make things in the materials they suggest, but I decided to be a rebel (plus I didn't want to spend money on learning it... yea, I'm cheap) so I knew it wouldn't look exactly as shown. I did have some problems when it came to one step and I just couldn't see it with the simplistic diagrams they had. If you are a visual learner you might have problems here as well. Even though the diagrams are visual, they are flat and hard to understand what they meant by "pinch here". It just wasn't clear to my foggy brain. YouTube to the rescue! :)
*youtube vid shown on blog review*

I used this vid to "get it". This is the same butterfly as shown in the book. Only difference is that I can "get it" much better.

This is my result:
*pic of result shown on blog review*
The first try is a bit backwards and looks like a funny looking man. That was me first trying to go from where I stopped in the book and began again with the video. I think I turned something around. The second try was successful! Yea, try the vid if you want to try to make one yourself.

I give this book 3 stars. While it has valuable information on how to make the jewelry, it was hard for me to totally get each step. Not everyone will have that problem and I guess it is just how you visualize things. YouTube is handy to get you out of those problems and there is a ton of origami vids out there. I also know that on Etsy some of the jewelry like this has a protective coating on it. You are not shown that technique here so be aware that the paper jewelry you make won't be long lasting.

At first I could not download this gem , but I ended up finding it through my library . Origami Jewelry what a smart Idea, only thing is what if you forget to take the jewelry off? Or if it gets wet? I would spray it with a sealant myself. Any ways , this book is cute, and the instructions are ok for someone who understands the folding, but if they are new at Origami I would see where it could be confusing. I would purchase this book for my 10 year old daughter, and young adults, all the way to adults, but I feel it would be to hard for younger, and even maybe even so for my 10 year old. The back of the book there are two pages , my own page where you can add some tid bits . All in all not a bad little book.

I would like to thank Dover Publications for providing me with a free electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley, in exchange for an open and honest review.

Please note this book was actually reviewed by my 11 year old daughter and resident origami artist. Although I am writing the review, I am basing it on the feedback she has provided to me. And the score out of 5 stars is all her!

My daughter – known as Eldest Horde online – really liked this book. She liked the outlay of the pictures – formatting, how the instructions were set out, etc. As well as the pictures of the origami jewellery and props (little ceramic animals and the like) that were used. She felt these pictures and props really made her want to try and make things just as pretty.

The instructions for each project were clear and easy to follow. As my daughter has been doing some origami for a while, she followed the picture instructions more than the written instructions, but did also refer to the written instructions if she got stuck.

The book inspired Eldest Horde to make more origami and turn it into different gifts for her friends and family by making it into jewellery as shown in ‘Origami Jewelry’. Quick and easy little projects, perfect for rainy days like the one we’ve had today.

Would I recommend this book to others?

Yes I would. It is the perfect little book of ideas to amuse crafty hands of all ages. It contains clear and precise instructions that talk you through each project – suitable for your novice through to the more experience paper folder.

Would I buy this book for myself?

Not for myself… but Eldest Horde has asked this be put on my Amazon wish list so I remember to buy it for her next time she needs a new craft book. Not so subtle hints about Christmas coming up too! ;-)

In summary: A great book showing how to turn tiny little origami into simply beautiful homemade jewellery.

A really cute craft book recommended for all ages. There are great easy to follow instructions for basic jewelry making included that you can apply to many projects. Add the special craft of origami, and you can make some endearing jewelry pieces. There are so many origami papers, in so many colors and styles that you can make several pairs of each.

It's hard to choose favorites, but I do especially like the iris and butterfly and the little stars are so dear! The finished examples shown make you want to make each and every piece - and extra to share with friends and relatives.

A very economical way to increase your jewelry and match all your outfits. Just don't lose the book, as I can see wanting to make more as time and outfits change. And I'm sure I will be watching the origami papers and find many I can't resist!

I think these pieces would be attractive to many ages. And I bet you could sell some finished sets on Etsy or Facebook.

From Netgalley for a review:

Once upon a time I used to make jewelry, and towards the end of my jewelry career I blended my love of jewelry and origami, it just seemed natural. This book is a good introduction to both of those forms of art, fairly easy jewelry techniques and simple origami forms, of course what the real challenge is is making origami small, this takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of minigami these are very smooth pieces to make.

My only complaint with this book is it not covering what I consider to be a necessary step in origami jewelry creation, finishing with a varnish. If you get caught in the rain, wear it on a particularly hot day, or spill liquid on a piece it is pretty much done, and that can be immensely frustrating, so really treating the pieces with a waterproof paper varnish is a must unless you are planning this as a possible one time wear. Even using the most basic modge podge will extend the life.

Other than that omission I recommend this book to those new to either jewelry or origami!

I really like this book!

Not only does it offer a number of wonderful ideas for beautiful origami jewelry but it also gives detailed and easy to follow instructions on how to make them. Due to the origami style not all of the jewelry is fitting for a grown woman, especially some hairpins are more suitable for kids but it all depends on the occasion and your own style.

Probably most of the jewelry won't last for ages but it makes for beautiful eyecatchers and allows a very individual style.

Apart from that it is fun to create the tiny charms and to play around with different papers and the different models to create unique jewelry that doesn't cost much but is fun to create and fun to wear!

Dover Publications and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Origami Jewelry, in exchange for an honest review.

Origami Jewelry is a well illustrated, instructional guide to making jewelry out of origami paper. Along with a comprehensive materials list and mounting techniques, the author explains key terms with illustrations. Each distinct shape has a materials list for different jewelry pieces corresponding to the shape, instructing readers to several key pages that show how to put the finishing touches on your creations. I am an amateur when it comes to the art of origami, but this book is so inviting and well instructed that I would recommend it to those of all experience levels.

Origami Jewelry by Mayumi Jezewski is a book about beautiful origami jewelry that gives easy to follow instructions. The jewelry style are for all ages. Some for kids. Some for teenagers. Some for young adults. Lastly, some for adults. The jewelry will not last for ever but what I like most is that it can be made to fit your style. It am not very good at origami but I found it fun to create some of the jewelry.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Dover Publications via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.

I absolutely loved this craft book! I didn't think I would love it as much as I did, but each craft got cuter and cuter to the point where I wish the craft store was still open so I could buy origami paper right now! It's cute, it's girly and the crafts are perfect for tweens and up. They're really easy to follow along and the projects feel very attainable. I love it. I'm going to buy a copy for a family member and give her all the supplies she needs to make the projects. Perfect for a birthday or holiday gift!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review. Thanks so much!

I love origami. I've dabbled with it for years. I've made animals, gift boxes and flowers but I never thought about making jewelry so this book excited me!
This book was fun! The instructions were very easy to follow and the different suggestions were very cute. The pictures were easy to follow and the pages were beautifully designed.
My only complaint with the book is the lack of instructions on how to keep the pretty creations after they are completed.
Overall this is fun for all ages and a great addition for any origami or jewelry lover.

Great projects with easy to follow instructions. However, it doesn't give instructions on how to preserve your paper jewelry. That would have made this book complete.
