Best of Fold of the Week: Crazy and Unique Folds
Hi! I'm back with episode 2 of my special series highlighting fan favorites and my picks for the best of what we’ve seen across 15 years and 655 shows.
This week, we’ll look at the best of crazy and unique folds. I could have taken this in many different directions, but I focused on the ones that have generated the most buzz and excitement over the years:
- I’ve got four major specialty categories, each with two samples – one is elaborate, one is accessible.
- This episode is proof that great ideas can evolve into new solutions that meet a different budget or design objective.
And that’s a wrap on episode 2 - I hope you enjoyed it! I'll see you in two weeks for episode #3! Thanks for watching and — I appreciate you.
