Origami: A Little Introduction.

If you're not familiar with origami, it's the Japanese art of paper folding, and it's a super fun and versatile way to express your creativity.

So, why should you give origami a try? Well, for one, you don't need a bunch of fancy materials or tools, just a square piece of paper and your hands.

It's also a great way to relax and de-stress. Folding paper allows you to clear your mind while creating something beautiful.

And the best part? It's also a great activity for both kids and adults alike. It helps improve fine motor skills, enhances patience and concentration, and boosts problem-solving abilities.

Plus, who can resist the satisfaction of turning a simple sheet of paper into a work of art with just a few simple folds? Not me!

A few of my personal favourites are the origami chick (perfect for Easter), the cutest pink origami owl for Valentine and of course my very own easy origami butterflies (they're one of my most popular origami crafts).
