My mother’s grandfather came from near Uppsala, so I’m always happy when Swedish flags pop up in my visitor logs.

Carroms is a game played with plastic rings and is sort of like billards. (You might want to check out http://www.carrom.org for more information.) The entry above is about how the fold described in the previous post can be used to play carroms. And the narrative part doesn’t make much sense in English, either. When I wrote it, I was relatively sure no one would ever read it.

If you visit the Dollar to Doughnuts entry, you’ll find a crease pattern and a hints sheet. There are not, as yet, any diagrams to speak of.

I am not good at origami. But I learned how to fold small shirts out of (dollar-)bills. They come out really good now. That is fun.

I would like to learn how to fold these cute Carroms, as you call them.

Where can I get hold of folding instruction for these ? Do you know?
