⭐️Stardog Puzzle Purse!💫 by e.k.mosley (Letter or Valentine) Origami This was my first time making a puzzle purse and I had so much fun painting each little picture on all the hidden folds. These beautiful little paper creations can be dated back to Japanese paper folding techniques called tatogami and origami from Japan’s Heian era (782-1185 CE). In Japan they were called Tato and used to hold small objects like buttons, stamps, needles, thread and other small bits and bobs. But when they started coming over to the west, people began drawing pictures on them and using them to write secret messages and love letters. The Victorian’s called them Puzzle Purses and were particularly fond of gifting them on Valentine’s Day. Today puzzle purses remain a fun way to send a magical letter to friends, family and loved one all year round, for all sorts of holidays and special occasions. I hope you enjoy folding your own Stardog Puzzle Purse to keep little treasures in. • Photos are of the original handprinted puzzle purse and the front and back of the digital files • Format - pdf download (and jpgs of front and back) • Pdf can be printed as many times as you wish and on any paper you like. It will print and fold well on standard printer paper but can also be printed on to heavier art papers (250gsm-300gsm) • Print either double sided or as two sheets and stick back to back. • To fold please look up instructions on how to fold a victorian puzzle purse.

Today I'm sharing the most adorable and easy origami craft project with you. It's cute. (Or should I say kawaii?) It's simple to make. And it's fun to decorate! Ta-da! Grab the kids because we're folding these super sweet origami paper dolls! How to Fold Sweet and Simple Origami Paper Dolls with Kids This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a tiny bit of grocery money from each purchase made. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Inspired by Spring, cherry blossoms, and my lifetime love with all these kawaii and Japanese, I came up with the design for these little paper dolls the other night. And I fell in love with them. They're so cute!! And here's how you make them! Materials Needed: Origami Paper (I like this brand a lot because there is a variety of colors AND they are not colored on both sides. I've purchased a couple of other types from Amazon that weren't white on one side and that totally bummed me out.) Scissors Random stickers (I love using colorful circle stickers!) Makers (I used Sharpies because they don't smear) Tape Washi Tape (It's time to pull out the collection!) How to fold a Paper Doll Head: Step 1: Fold you paper in half and then in half again to create 4 identically sized squares. Cut out the squares. Each little square will make one paper doll head. Step 2: Fold down one side of the square. (This will be your bangs.) Step 3: Fold both sides in. Step 4: Fold back your two top corners. Step 5: Fold back your bottom side. Step 6: Fold back your two bottom corners and you've got a cute paper doll face! How to Fold an Easy Origami Paper Doll Body: Step 1: Fold the paper along a diagonal. Step 2: Unfold your fold and then fold again along the other diagonal. Step 3: When you open up your paper you should see this. (We did these initial steps to help with a trickier step later on.) Step 4: Fold the paper in half. Step 5: Fold the rectangle in half again to make a smaller square shape. Step 6: Remember those initial diagonal folds we made before? Here's where they come in use! Put your hands into the open side of the your mini square. Push down.... Step 7: Keep pushing down and your paper should collapse into a triangle shape. Step 8: Do the same thing (Steps 6+7) to collapse the other side into a triangle shape. Step 9: Fold up the left and right corners of the top triangle. Step 10: Take your top right triangular flap and fold it over to the left. Step 11: Fold the side of the larger back triangle over so that the slanty side meets the middle. Step 12: Return the flap that you moved in step 10 back to its original place. Step 13: Repeat steps 9-12 with the other side. You should now see this. Step 14: Fold down the two top sides (to make your doll's arms a bit more slender.) Step 15: Now fold the bottom two corners like this to create little paper doll feet. Flip your paper over and you'll see this cute origami paper doll body! Decorate and tape your head and body pieces. If you want, cut slits into your doll's bangs to create paper "hair." And you're all set! By the way, I didn't mention it before, but these paper dolls also function as finger puppets too!

Most origami is geometrical, but Vietnamese artist Hoàng Tiến Quyết produces curved paper forms using a difficult technique known as wet-folding. This adds an element of sculpture to the work, making Hoàng's origami animals truly remarkable. Too little water and the paper dries before the folding is done; too much water, and the paper will rip.
