Have fun and put anything that you want on a printable transparency: friends, neighbors, family, your morning egg, whatever. Print, cut a square, and fold. When transparency magic has caught your fancy try making other things out of printable transparencies, be it origami or other nifty things. For a few other patterns you can go to www.cedison.wordpress.com and find origami diagrams. The octagonal container from a circle would be a good one for transparencies.

Things you will need-printable transparencies, computer with printer, scissors, straight edge. Protractor if you can't guesstimate 90 degrees.

Make sure you read the notes as there is some key information for a pleasant plastic experience.

Hello, and welcome to the Instructables community! This currently does not meet our criteria for an Instructable. A completed Instructable:

- details a finished project with instruction (not just links to instructions)
- has clear images that you took of your project (web-found clip-art is not acceptable)
- uses proper spelling and grammar
- contains appropriate cautions or safety considerations
- does not violate someone else's copyright
- does not violate the Instructables terms of service
- is typically written about something you are very passionate about and want to share.

If this is a comment, a question, a small tip, or something that cannot truly be a finish project, please post it as a forum topic. If you are looking to start a collaboration, post a topic in the forums. Look here for tips on writing a great Instructable.

That is an awesome idea! Great instructable! one question, how easily does the plastic fold? typically that stuff is a lot stiffer than paper.

Gonazar-Thanks. The printable transparency paper isn't to bad. It is thicker than paper and it doesn't hurt to use a pen edge to make the crease. The main problem with it is you can't change direction like with paper.

Could you just break this out into steps with instructions? Otherwise, it looks like a great tutorial.
