Origami Dress Card

July 2, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 23 Comments

After seeing the sweet Origami Dresses over at Craft & Creativity, I was inspired to make an Origami Dress Card for a special friend’s birthday. There is a helpful uTube video that guides you through the steps on folding the dress.

I used a 6 x 6 inch square of origami paper that I had in my paper stash (purchased from Daiso); added some twine; little pegs; and washi tape. I love how the dress gives the card a 3D element.

It would be fun to make up a batch of dresses and them frame them to decorate a little girls bedroom. I think I will be making a lot more of these origami dresses.

The dresses are quite easy to make – they would be fun creative activity to do with kids over the school holidays.

As I love to give hand made, I also sewed a House Lavender Sachet to pop in with my friend’s gift, using the fabulous tutorial over at Retro Mama (complete with a Number 1 for her new house that is under construction!)

    The little dresses are adorable. I don’t make cards, but constantly need them, so I am tempted to try it.
