All you need to have a go at the tasks in this feature is plenty of paper, preferably in different colours, and a good measure of perseverence.
Can you picture the shapes you'll get when you fold a piece of paper along the creases shown in the photos? Make those shapes in different sizes, create a pattern and then arrange your patterns in different ways to make flowers and rings. Are you up for the challenge?
We're looking forward to seeing your creations!
