Origami Holiday Cards

Here are a two ideas for Holiday cards, using two beautiful origami models:

• Pigeon,  by Kunihiko Kasahara, folded with a 3" (75mm) square of white origami paper . The instructions are available in the book The Magic of Origami, by Alice Gray and Kunihiko Kasahara.

• Flower, by Ligia Montoya, folded with an hexagon cut from a 6" (150mm) square of red and green duo origami paper. The instructions are available in the magazine Plegando al Sur #2, published by the Asociación Argentina de Origami, and also in the book The Encyclopedia of Origami, by Nick Robinson.

The cards were made with a letter size card stock sheet, cut in half, and then folded in half. I decorated the cards with scrapbook paper and printed greetings. I also highlighted the models by painting them with paper glaze.

Happy Holidays!
