Thousands of students in Greece have got together to set a Guinness World Record for the largest
origami mosaic.
Yes, that's right. More than 18,000 people spent nine hours folding 52,000 tiny
pieces of paper into origami flowers, and then used them to create a giant owl.
It was not difficult, but it was of course very tiring to be able to coordinate all of
the process, but a lot of love was put into it, and they will leave here happy with the result.
Students from all across Athens gathered to create the 512 square metre mosaic as a symbol
of the city. According to the Guinness World Record, the largest recorded mosaic measured
just over 451 square metres, but the students will have to wait a few days for the world
record officials to make their decision. Whatever the outcome, at least they get to keep the
paper flowers.
Everyone will be able to take home a paper flower as a souvenir to remember this great
effort that they participated in.
