How to make a 3D Iris in solid works?
In solid works you make a sketch, pick a plane, and draw it. After that you extrude it. This takes it from 2D to 3D. I decided to use the outer ring as my template piece. Once you have your template piece made, you can close the 3D program and copy and paste the file however many times you need it.
What kind of paper do you use for Iris?
Thin coloured paper, wrapping paper or even wide florist ribbon are all great choices for iris folding strips. You need paper that’s not too thick, so try to avoid using card or heavy scrapbook paper. It doesn’t matter if your strips have jagged edges from where you have cut them out.

What’s the best Iris folding pattern for beer?
Change the colours to orange for a pint of beer or lager, yellow for cider or brown for a good old fashioned pint of ale. This is one of my all-time favourite iris folding patterns because the robin looks so realistic. The folds mimic the look of feathers to create a cute little robin for your iris folding Christmas cards.
