Brian created a program to generate the Mandelbrot fractal and I saw so many cool images that I couldn't help but want to use them in my crafts. I ended up using the images to make origami paper.
Materials:
*Printer paper
*Fractal image
*Printer
*Scissors
Directions:
*Select a fractal image. You can choose one of the ones I've shared below if you would like, or you can choose one of your own.
*Print the fractal image onto a sheet of ordinary thickness printer paper.
*If you would like double sided origami paper, print a block of color on the other side.
*If the paper begins to wrinkle, place it underneath a heavy book for a little while to flatten it back out.
*Cut out the square containing the fractal image. Now you have your own patterned origami paper.
Here are a few origami creatures I made using my fractal origami paper. I found the directions for the butterfly here and the swan here. The site I got these instructions from has instructions for all kinds of cool origami creations.
Here are some cool fractal pictures to use for your origami paper:
