Notes on origami:

First decide what you want to do, for example, you can make origami boats or paper flowers. After deciding what you want to make, you can search for videos of making these handicrafts on the Internet, and then draw specific illustrations on the paper to avoid being in a hurry when making them.

The steps of origami are very simple. Some works may seem complicated, but in fact most of them repeat the same steps. As long as you master the main steps of the handicraft you want to make, origami is very simple.

If you are afraid of not remembering the steps, you can write them down on paper or draw diagrams. Some more difficult origami works also require glue. For example, a cluster of beautiful flowers. One flower alone is not enough to show its beauty. Then you can make dozens of flowers separately and then stick them together with glue. This way The beautiful paper flowers are finished!

Some children also like to use origami to construct a scene painting, such as the sun, flowers, and other small animals folded from paper.

These need to be folded with paper first, and then pasted together to form a beautiful picture. The folded works can also be reprocessed. Parents and children can draw their favorite patterns on the origami paper to make the origami more colorful.

The difficulty of hand-made origami is not the steps, but that you have to have enough patience. As long as you complete a work with your heart, I believe the result will make you very satisfied.
