Why I love origami
Because -
It is so simple.
a couple sheets of paper,
a ribbon,
a button,
and a bead.
Plus 10 minutes of relaxing, slow, quiet time.
Ahh!
And in the end - something pretty for our home.
I've been watching a lot of tutorials on you tube, but when they're not complicated, I pull
the instructions off of websites like these:

http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-boxes-and-containers.html
This project has also got me thinking about cutting paper too. I love that star!
Oh, in the midst of a life that is too often chaotic and frustrating and complicated, how nice to sit for 10 minutes and do something pleasing and simple and calming!

And there is nothing better than almost instant results. They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I loved doing origami as a child and had almost forgotten about its charm. I'll definitely have to see what I can remember tomorrow.
