Or-eye-gam-eye

So I was thinking "What haven't I done today?" and I thought "Ooh! Blog post!"
So here I am.
Anyways, today's post (since I have literally nothing going on in my life) is going to be about origami.
I like origami. It is fun.
I however am not that good at origami. 
I can fold easy stuff, though.
One easy example is the swan.
I can fold a swan.
I fold the swan.
A lot.
A.
Lot.
I fold origami (preferably the swan) out of anything. When I'm bored at a restaurant, if they have paper kids' menus, I fold those. If they have sheets of paper anywhere? I fold those. My preferred method of crane is Post-it Notes. They're already square, and they're sticky already. It makes it easier to fold cranes and they're widely available. I sometimes write or draw on them then fold them or vice versa. Super easy to fold and I can mass-produce them! You just make or obtain a square sheet of paper, fold it diagonally, then unfold. Fold the corners to the crease so it looks like a kite. Now flip it over and do the same, but keep it folded! Now is the hard part: you crease it along that diagonal line, and fold some of it back so that it makes a neck. Do the same thing to make the head with the smallest end, and there you have it- a swan! Get it down after a few tries and you can mass-produce them!
Recommended song today? Blossom by Au5. I love it and you probably will too. Not necessarily dubstep but it has a great melody and I like that. Also, A Heartbeat Away by Hellberg; another good one that isn't Dubstep but still super catchy! 
Recommended YouTuber today? DanTDM or TheDiamondMinecart. He's a really cool Minecraft YouTuber who also has a vlog channel called MoreTDM. He does awesome stuff on there. He's British and married to a girl called Jemma. He mainly does mod adventures and reviews. He also plays minigamrs. He's really cool with TONS of subs like over three million, so please check him out if you like that sort of stuff. I've heard him swear maybe once or twice during my entire video watchings of him, so basically almost no profanity. Great guy, check him out!
Anyways, almost no news except I MADE A BASKET! I'm getting these craft things each month in the mail called Doodle Crates, which contain a craft, in this case. A thing called "Basket Weaving And Fabric Dyeing". I actually used Kool Aid to dye the fabric yarn that you use to weave the basket. I dyed it in a rainbow pattern and then wove the basket, which was surprisingly easy, and lined the inside with felt! I get a doodle crate once every month with something new, and this was my first one- I wonder what else there is, and I can't wait to find out!

So yeah, check out Doodle Crate by searching up Kiwi Crate (the company) on Google, or Bing (if you use Bing still). Anyways that's all for today! Check back soon for more Randomness from Grace!
