This time instead of going dark to light starting in the corner I went light to dark to light. Since I wasn't able to find the 8x8 stacks I had to jerry rig the 12x12 ones.
First I measured out 8x8 and cut off the excess (saved for something else fun!). First I tried the cross cutting way (pictured above) and attempted to fold it over like a present. It didn't quite work so easily doing it that way. So I took the same general idea and cut them diagonally from the corners. That worked like a charm!
Folding the corners over and securing them with flat thumb tacks worked great. It would have worked a little better if I had an actual hammer and wasn't just using the side of a wrench but in the end they are secure.
Overall I think the project came out really well! Kevin will love it since I used the green paper. You can use any colored paper with this and really go crazy and customize.
That is a really fun project actually, I dig it!
