Make your own Angkor Wat
Missing your Angkor Wat fix? You don’t have to go all the way to Cambodia – you don’t even have to get pieces of Angkor Wat illegally from auction sites. Make your own paper model of Angkor Wat here!
Click for full instructions on making a paper model of Angkor Wat.
It’s a cool paper model of Angkor Wat that you can make and do, by yourself or with the kids over the weekend (or an evening, if you’re enthusiastic!) All you need is to print the template, cut, glue and assemble.
If you do make the Angkor Wat model, snap a picture and send it to me and I’ll feature it on the site!

I have always been a fan of folding paper particularly making paper airplanes. I started with a software called The Greatest Paper Airplanes published by Kitty Hawk. Unfortunately the software is no longer distributed today. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes. It’s a good place to start learning origami.
