Hmm. As a former recruitment chair, recruitment adviser, and former contributor to my GLO's recruitment manual, I'd have to say that origami would not be MY first choice of an arts and crafts project. The point is to get people to interact with the buffer of an activity, NOT to make people feel uncomfortable or inept. I wouldn't sweat it. I'm sure you weren't the only one feeling frustrated.
PS.Martha Stewart's staff once admitted that the dumbest arts and crafts project they ever conceived of in the magazine was an origami project., which looked fab, but no could do, not even the staff who tried to go back and make it. Nothing against origami, mind you. My dad is king of that--he can just look at a picture and do magic with his hands to make origami animals. But it takes a LOT of time and patience. Not something conducive to a recruitment event.
