Origami Letters.
I love a good font almost as much as I love an origami paper craft so of course, I’m super excited to show you a project that combines them both. These origami letters are simple to fold and fun to make. And as all you need is some paper they’re inexpensive as well.
You can fold any or all of the letters and use them to make an initial or spell a whole word. Turn them into a statement piece of artwork or even a personalised banner.
I used one of each to make the whole alphabet and then popped them into a frame to be hung in my little boy’s bedroom. They make such a colourful and fun piece of art on his wall.
Alphabet Origami.
These simple origami letters are made by folding origami paper so the coloured side forms the shape of the letter. You can use all sorts of paper, from classic origami paper to magazine pages, gift wrap and even old maps. Mix up the papers, patterns and textures to make a colourful piece end piece.
