Origami Love Letter

Origami Love Letter
A beautiful piece of paper, some carefully chosen words, and a couple of folds amount to an origami love letter. No envelope is needed because the paper you write your letter on folds into an envelope. Use the tutorial below to make your own.

I don't know the origin of this very simple design. I used an 8 1/2 x 11" rectangular piece of paper with a scalloped edge. A square also works. I opted to put the text on the patterned side of the paper with a personal note on the inside. No scissors, glue or tape used! Please check out my video; let me know what you think.

  6. Hi Debs Thank you for visiting my blog and joining my giveaway :-)
    Your Origami Love letter is very pretty, I must admit papercraft is something I find difficult, much to my dismay as I see so many beautiful paper craft things on the net :-) I have to console myself that lots of peeps find Neddle felting difficult ;-) I will be sure to come back and admire your clever paper soon.
