Great course!

I really enjoyed this course. It's one of the most fun I have done on Domestika.
I just wish I hadn't made the "pattern guide" (U3) as I haven't used it once. At least so far.

Me pareció muy claro y muy práctico. Muy recomendable tanto para personas que quieren hacer bisutería como pasatiempo como para negocio. Comienza con la decoración del papel, lo que me pareció muy interesante, porque le da un toque de originalidad a cada uno de los diseños. También me parece interesante la figura de origami seleccionada y la selección de los materiales
