I found the movie to be a visually delightful fantasy, with elements reminiscent of Labyrinth, Alice in Wonderland, and the Neverending Story.  The Jim Henson company was a major part of the movie-making effort, and much of the puppetry speaks to that, albeit with a darker, Neil-Gaiman-inspired flavor.  The plot isn&#8217;t terribly complex, but I loved the experience of watching the movie.<\/p>\n<p>But enough about the movie &#8212; what about the origami?  I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/Guy-Fawkes-Mask-in-Origami\/\">instructions for making a Guy Fawkes Mask<\/a> that seemed like it would fit the bill.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" width=300 src=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/image\/FY596GVF8MMCDLE\/Guy-Fawkes-Mask-in-Origami.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The instructions are extremely sparse and rely on cryptic hand-drawn diagrams as well as assuming that you have a good familiarity with terms like &#8220;squash fold&#8221; and &#8220;crimp fold&#8221;.  I&#8217;m not sure I would have made it through without relying on the eminently more useful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JwyIDogYaqI\">video 1<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KK_gQW5r73s\">video 2<\/a>.
