Fun and Easy Origami for All Ages
Origami is the ancient art of folding paper into beautifully finished sculptures from simple boxes to more elaborate pieces like flowers and animals. In Japan, this skill was handed down from parent to child and was used for religious ceremonies only because the paper was quite expensive. Today, this art form can be practiced by anyone who is willing to learn this craft. And one of the best ways to learn is through books and kits, and there are plenty on the market for both beginners and experienced Origami artists. Kits come with instructions and paper to make a variety of projects and that might be the best way to start this beautiful art form. Here are some supplies you might enjoy.
