Embrace the vibrant spirit of Mexico through origami, with 25 stunning step-by-step projects and 200 sheets of gorgeously patterned, tear-out origami paper.

The perfect 2-in-1 package: pick your favorite project, tear out your chosen paper then get folding straight away!


  • 25 stunning yet simple projects, inspired by Mexico’s rich cultural heritage including a sombrero, chili pepper, cactus, mariachi guitar and calavera (skull), plus Frida Kahlo’s dress and fan.
  • All the projects are explained clearly with step-by-step illustrations. Each design comes with a difficulty level, so you can build your skills at your own pace.
  • The 200 sheets of paper are the perfect weight and size for origami. Each sheet is double-sided: one side features a stunning pattern, from skulls and traditional geometric designs to cactuses, while on the other is a bold pop of solid color for contrast.
  • The papers are 6½ × 6½in(17 × 17cm) square; larger than standard origami papers (which are 6 × 6in/15 × 15cm) to allow for the papers to be cut up to fold smaller components, or to be trimmed down to standard size if required.
  • The book begins with an introduction to essential folding techniques, including horizontal, vertical and diagonal folds, as well as more advanced techniques like the reverse fold and accordion fold.
  • A relaxing solo activity or a fun project to enjoy with friends and family.
  • Perfect for complete beginners as well as experienced papercrafters looking for both a sourcebook of stunning papers and fresh ideas.

Whether you’re crafting a golden eagle, a fiesta rosette or a delicate dahlia, you’ll experience moments of calm and creative satisfaction. Ideal for both beginners and experienced folders, this book not only offers a creative outlet but also serves as a cultural journey through Mexico’s colourful traditions and artistic expressions.
