Hi bfd,
Just wanted to let you know, I just printed out your Champion Entry. I was in a hurry and just printed out a 5" I don't know how large it needs to be I just wanted to try a fold. It is very easy. I looked at the image of the real prop that you posted and it is just alternating mountain and valley folds placed between each letter. I just picked a letter to start with and looked at the actual prop to see which fold was placed there. When I folded my start I made sure that the opposite fold was the same. Then it was just a matter of alternating folds going around the circle. Where there was no letter opposite a letter on the other side, I just guessed at the placement.
I think, when I go to make the real one, I will fool around with measurements and see if I can't get the distances between folds more accurate than just eyeing it as I did with this one.
I also think that I will look at different scrapbooking paper for a light weight blue paper. This way it will be blue on both sides. I will post a pic when I do one but it might be a while as I am doing some very uninteresting but necessary real life stuff at the moment :0(
