Scoochmaroo Refrigerator Magnet

Scoochmaroo Refrigerator Magnet
This is an entry for the weekly challenge.  Because origami is so beautiful I wanted to make an origami craft that would be practical and useful.  I made a refrigerator magnet for this tutorial.  I am definitely making more origami pieces into useful items.   I am adding a few more in the next day or two.  I have enjoyed the Instructables website so much the past year or so.  I appreciate all the interns at Instructables for all their hard work in making this a place to share, have fun and connect with other members!   I would love to make refrigerator magnets that looked like all the Instructable's interns as a reminder of all your hard work!  I picked this one because it was easy enough for me because I can't draw.  I had to improvise.  Thank you all!

THIS IS AWESOME!! I love it! I might have to do this for my little sister but with her face! Long story short... I ruined her paper dolls when she was 6 and she has never fully forgave me.. She's in her late 20's now so you can imagine I'm ready to move on by now! lol. Thanks for the inspiration! Might make a cute holiday stocking stuffer.... You ROCK!
