These origami clowns are just too much fun, and since they are quite simple to fold, why not make a bunch in many sizes to decorate for Purim? Garlands, cake toppers, vase inserts and even front door decor are perfect ideas for how to use this clown, or how about glued to card stock as a gift tag? I'd say make a bunch, and then figure out how to use them! I have made giant origami clowns using wrapping paper in the past and using the entire width of the wrapping paper to produce a very large clown, which is quite fantastic actually. This year I'm crafting these with some of my students and we are making smaller versions to stick into a Purim vase centerpiece. Okay, lets do it!
- square paper, either purchased as square or cut yourself
- round stickers in various sizes for heads, most importantly (or rather most useful!)
- other paper, ribbon etc. to decorate
- a glue stick and high tack or hot glue

Okay, there is no time like the present, hop to it!
