Craft: Folding a Letter into an Origami Shirt

Handwritten letters are (I think) quite a rarity nowadays. At least for my case, I probably will leave that for special occasions. In this case, I planned to write one for him in commemoration of our ROM anniversary.

Typically after we have written/typed letters (quite rare these days!), we just fold it into halves, thirds or quarters and stuff them into envelopes.

I feel that the typical way of folding a letter is quite boring. Especially more so if the letter is written for a special occasion~

So, what did I do to make it a little more interesting? I married my love for origami with letter folding ;) Hence, I googled for some ideas and decided to fold my letter into a manly origami shirt. It doubled up as a card as well :)

This is where I will write my "essay" to him :)

Difficulty level is (I feel) probably easy to medium. What I like about folding this origami shirt is it does not take long to make one.

I left the YouTube links on how to make the shirt and necktie under below references. For my case, I did not go with the necktie idea. Instead, I drew buttons and pockets on the origami shirt itself. Pardon my ugly drawing.

There you go~ This is just one of the many quick and easy ways to spice things up a little. You can also make an Origami Heart, Origami Aeroplane, etc. Basically, anything that opens up quite quickly.

Hope this helps to make your card a little more interesting/unique =)
