Origami?
If you have never heard of origami then you should definitely give it a try, you’ll be amazed at how a simple piece of paper can be turned into many different figures.
Origami is the art of folding paper, transforming a simple squared piece of paper into an amazing sculpture. All of that without using glue, scissors or any other materials that are not paper.
It seems complicated at the beginning but I assure you that with patience and practice you will end up loving it.
You can learn origami by buying books with instructions or looking for videos on YouTube about whatever figure you want to create. If you are a beginner I suggest you start by doing simple figures, that way it’s easier to learn about basic folds. I think the paper crane is a perfect figure to practice with.
Once you get the hang of it try doing harder figures or even kusudamas (multiple folded sheets of paper combined into a spherical construction). A cool think about origami is that you can personalize it and it can be a perfect gift for your parents or your friends when you don´t want to spend a lot of money because, who doesn’t love a handmade gift?
So now that you know about origami, go ahead and try it out! I hope you like it as much as I do. And remember, practice makes perfect. Lots of love, SM
