Stephane Gigandet has kindly offered one e-book copy of Origami for Halloween to one reader of Origami Expressions. The three star models such as the origami Spider Web are a little more challenging, but children and people new to origami should still be able to fold them once they’ve got the hang of the other designs. These models are still child-friendly, but they might need a bit of a helping hand at intervals – like squashing the top of the Origami Pumpkin Box. The first model is an easy origami Ghost, but it’s one of my favourite designs in the book! There a couple of different fun origami pumpkins among the two star designs. The models given a single star are very simple and certainly suitable for children to fold unaided. ![]() Each of the ten models in Origami for Halloween is given a difficulty rating of one to three stars. There’s a real sense of playfulness and fun about all of Stephane Gigandet’s models in this book, typified by designs such as Mr & Mrs origami Ghost. This book is suitable for people of all abilities, including children and complete beginners, so it’s good for people to get familiar with this diagramming style early in the folding career. It’s personal choice though, and many origami books do follow the convention that Stephane has adopted here. I prefer diagrams that arrange the steps left to right on the page, top to bottom, on every page. Stephane has adopted the diagramming convention of a ribbon of steps that flows down one page and up the adjacent one. I think this is a nice touch – there doesn’t have to be a ‘right’ way to fold any model and it’s good to see how other people have interpreted the models. ![]() There are pages showing Stephane’s models folded by other people and how they have put their own ‘spin’ on Stephane’s designs. The quality presentation continues throughout: Origami for Halloween is well presented, and the models are colourful and look appealing. Thankfully, most origami books are well designed now and the days of producing origami books as cheaply as possible on poor quality paper seem to be gone. I have said before in other book reviews that I think this is important for origami books. The first thing I noticed about this book is that it is attractive to look at. I need to up my game – I’ve only designed one model (my Olympic Rings) in over 30 years! Stephane is based in France, but is very active on social media & has fans and followers all over the world through his website us and his YouTube channel Origami Plus. Despite this, he is a prolific designer, having created over 100 of his own designs. The Author Stephane Gigandet is a relative newcomer to origami, having only started folding in 2015.

Stephane was kind enough to provide a copy of the book for me to review, and also one to give away – thanks Stephane! More on that in a minute… Many of these would make excellent origami Halloween decorations. Now you can learn to make origami Halloween ghosts, an origami bat, and an origami skull, among other things. Stephane Gigandet has released his first book, just in time for Halloween! Origami for Halloween is a collection of models designed by him around the Halloween theme. ![]() Origami for Halloween by Stephane Gigandet Double, double toil and trouble Fire burn and cauldron bubble ![]()
