I'm pleased to see you today!
Last week, I showed you how to make these origami dolls:
They are made from gift wrap tissue and cardboard following this origami doll tutorial. I used a black Sharpie to draw the face and white glue to keep the folds from unravelling and to attach the accessories (ex. belt, heart).
Today, I'm going to show you some clever uses for these origami dolls.
By adding the origami doll to a gift bag, the package transforms from blah to TADA!
The origami doll is glued on to a wooden clothespin.
It easily clips on, looks very adorable, and can be used over and over again...TADA!
Following the same process, I used a combination of gift wrap tissue and construction paper to make these purple-hued origami dolls.
I turned them into angels by gluing on some wings also made from construction paper...TADA!
I made a care package for a longtime friend and I just had to include an origami angel. You can see her instantly from inside the clear envelope.
Here are some items I put inside the care package: a handmade bookmark, a handwritten card, a sheet of stickers, and the origami angel.
It was my intention to send my friend a guardian angel.
I added this prayer of protection at the back of the origami angel. I hope my friend will be safe wherever she goes.
These origami angel can also be enclosed in fun snail mail or customer orders if you own an on-line shop.
Thoughtful touches like these can turn packages from blah to TADA!
