I saw this gorgeous reel by Clymdraws that showed a lovely folded paper greeting and was so inspired to try making one myself. This is a lovely origami craft because the folding pattern is so simple and you can use this design to make cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day.... or any holiday, really. Directions are below. Enjoy!
How to Make a Cute Folding Origami Greeting Card for Valentine's Day
(Or Mother's Day... or any holiday!)
How the Folding Origami Card Works:
You start off like this.
Open up the flaps to reveal this.
Open up the flaps once more to reveal this.
And open up the flaps once more to reveal the final message.
(Also, isn't it cool how you can see all the other doodles? I think that's so neat.)
How to Fold Your Origami Greeting Card
Now that you know how this craft works, let's fold it together! Here are the materials that you'll need:
- Computer paper
- Markers and Crayons
Step 1: Fold your paper in half lengthwise.
Step 2: Unfold your paper. Now fold in both sides to the folded line.
Step 3: Fold your paper in half again. This time horizontally.
Step 4: Undo the previous fold. Now fold in both sides of your paper to the fold you just made.
Step 5: Fold your paper in half.
Step 6: Undo your previous fold. Now fold in both sides to meet that previous fold.
You're all done! Draw in your greetings and enjoy your cool greeting card.
Happy crafting and connecting!
