Wondering if Christmas has come early and I am already making Christmas trees?? Actually these are a few of my extremely simple origami bookmarks, stacked together. These little bookmarks are cute and since they are triangular, they won’t hide any part of a page, unlike most other bookmarks. They can be folded from 2-3 inch squares. Anything bigger doesn’t look very good. I will be posting a tutorial on making these bookmarks in a few [Continued..]

Tsuzura

The origami tsuzura are actually sturdy little boxes made from 4 squares of paper (2 for the base and 2 for the lid). The ones I have made are from 5 inch squares and they would make lovely ring boxes. They are sturdy if made from slightly thicker paper. The first one I made was from some icy blue wrapper [Continued..]
