Qbee's Origami Shirt Instructions (Father's Day Shirt)

[Qbee]

Here are the instructions I created for making the origami shirt which can be used as a Father's Day Shirt or a Hawaiian Shirt. Here is a sample of the shirt in use from the gallery:

Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

If you want to add a tie to the father's day shirt there are good instructions at the web site below. It's best to tie the tie first and then slip it around the collar. I used an 11" piece of 3/8" wide grosgrain ribbon.

Take care, Brenda (Qbee)

This worked like a charm for me first try.

I feel the same about my Dad... but how about giving one to a friend who is a Dad.

[MEnmystamps]

Me too, but I'm gonna make this just for the challenge and fun anyway!!

Thanks so much Brenda for sharing the how-tos!!

I always do this with dollar bills that I leave for tips in restaurants. I put a quarter at the top for a head (washington, you know) and any other bills underneath for a skirt. Always brings a smile to their faces (I lurk and watch!)

Pepper, What a fun idea!! :-D When I see a crinkled dollar bill, now I'll know that it's been through your capable hands. :-D

Great idea to do! Thank you.

I'm dyslexic and I just can't follow the shirt directions, can someone draw them explaining what side of the paper I'm using, no matter how I fold it just doesn't come out right. I need simple directions for a two year old, if possible :-)

I had a really hard time following the template (I'm more of a visual learner), so I typed in origami shirt on YouTube and was able to see loads of videos actually "showing" how to do this. They are so cute and I never would have thought to do this if I had not seen your post! Thanks for the fabulous idea!
