Monthly Folding Challenge: FEB 2013
Wearable Origami
This month's topic is any sort of origami you can wear, whether it be shoes, clothes, accessories, or hats. Although you don't need to take a picture of yourself actually wearing the model or even make a full-size version, models should be in theory be able to stay on the body without additional materials such as tape or string.
Rules:
- Any number of rectangles/squares may be used
- The model must be designed this month by you.
- Multiple entries are allowed.
Examples for reference:
Jeremy Schafer's Flasher Hat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl2n3PO7xzM
Bowler hat and pipe http://fav.me/d4nyud0
A silly chicken hat: http://cahoonas.tumblr.com/post/2296160 ... -in-action
Glasses: http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibiilan ... 3332266776
Feel free to be as silly as you'd like and although many of the examples are hats, experiment with different ideas!
Entries will be judged by jeko

Origami Multi-Reversible Belt (One Belt – Many Looks)
Folded from a single 60 inch by 3 inch rectangle. This makes a 40 inch by 1 inch belt. Change the color of each segment by simply reversing a top and/or bottom flap. You could create this belt with additional segments. Each additional segment would require a starting rectangle that was 4 inches longer. The 4 additional inches per segment creates a split that allows a top and bottom flap to move independent of the adjacent flap. The belt fastens with a simple fold over of 1 inch at each end that becomes locked when

The Three Button Origami Vest
To make this Vest, I had to re-in-vent the button. This Vest was folded from 3 rectangles of craft paper. The Chest panel and button latch system is folded from one 54 by 36 inch rectangle. Each of the two shoulder panels are folded from 12 by 30 inch rectangles. The Vest was sized for a male that wears a 44 long Sports Coat. The buttons of the button system are folded on one side of the Chest panel and the Button latches were folded on the other side of the same panel.
