Welcome back to Slipper Day on "Camp TV."

While you were gone, I got to thinking -- why should our feet have all the fun?

Don't our hands deserve a little love, too?

So, in honor of Slipper Day, I thought we could make our fingers a little comfy, too.

I mean, just look at them.

I certainly can't resist.

And we'll make these by using the art of paper folding known as origami.

Origami's name comes from the Japanese words...

Throughout history, traditional paper folding has been linked to countries across East Asia and Europe.

But most believe it began in China, shortly after they invented paper, almost 2,000 years ago.

Then it traveled to Japan, where it became a major cultural art form.

Traditional origami consists of folding a single sheet of square paper into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, or taping it.

It takes practice and patience, but in the end, I think you'll agree it's worth it.

There's a special type of paper -- origami paper -- that is thin and square-shaped, but you can use all sorts of different kinds of paper that you have at home.

The origami paper that I have is a little too big to make these slippers, so, I'm going to cut it down.

We need a square, so I'm going to measure out a piece that is 4 inches long... ...by 4 inches wide.

♪♪ ♪♪ And cut it out.

Next, we're going to cut our square in half to form two rectangles.

Each rectangle will be used to make a slipper.

Use one of your rectangles for your first slipper and put the other aside for later.

Now, we're ready to start folding our first slipper.

With the shorter side facing you, old your paper in half, creasing it well.

Then open it up again.

Now, fold the bottom half to the middle crease and then open it up flat again.

Next, fold the top half of the paper towards the bottom crease.

♪♪ Then fold the bottom piece over it.

♪♪ Next, fold down a little piece to form a band, like this!

Then flip the entire piece over.

Fold the sides in, one over the other... ♪♪ ...and crease it.

Flip the piece right-side-up, gently pull the corner outward, and crease.

And take the other corner, gently pulling it outward, and crease.

♪♪ Fold one corner over the other, so it stays together.

And crease again.

Now, you're going to fold it in four corners.

We're going to fold the top part of our slipper at an angle, like this.

Do that on both sides.

And we're going to do the same thing at the bottom... ...to give us that nice slipper shape.

And voilà!

A finger slipper!

You can decorate the tops or not.

Very much up to you!

Wow!

All that folding made my hands tired.

Good thing I've got some comfy slippers to help them [ Singsong ] rest!

So cool, right?
