June 2010 - Get Ready for Summer Celebrations

You can quickly whip up some nifty party decorations with 12-inch square pieces of scrapbook paper and our instructions for the basic origami box.

Cocktail Napkin Holder  With another piece of 12-inch scrapbook paper, at Step 5 of our instructions, fold up the sides 1 5/8 inches to make the perfect size for a stack of 5-inch stack of 5-inch square cocktail napkins.
