Aileen Edwin Origami: Cards

My Christmas card ideas using my origami Christmas trees and wreath

It is lovely to make cards for loved ones. There are many card making items for sale in shops, even readymade sets where all that is left to do is put them together. Many of these items can be made ourselves. For example, double-sided sticky foam (for making the card 3D) can be replaced by a piece off a cardboard box. Confetti can be made by cutting up paper, and round confetti with a hole-punch. Cut up foil can replace glitter. Other useful materials are left-over pieces of fabric, buttons and ribbons. Sequins, beads and gems add sparkle. Stickers can be printed and attached with glue. The possibilities are endless...

I recommend watching the tutorials before starting to make the cards.
