The back side is a stationery, so you can separate it one by one.

I bought it immediately because I love Liberty print, but I have no plans to write a letter, so I decided to use it as origami. So, this time, I would like to introduce chopstick rests, bookmarks, and butterflies that can be easily made from origami.

Chopstick rest

A chopstick rest that makes the table gorgeous when visiting. It is fashionable to make a lot and put it in a glass jar.

First, prepare a strip of cardboard (8 mm wide and 14 cm long this time) and origami paper that is the same length and about three times as wide.

Cardboard can be used as an empty box of sweets

Stick the origami with a bond so that it wraps around the cardboard.

Once dry, tie it once and tie a knot. Don't pull it too hard, and adjust it little by little.

Fold both ends into the knot and fasten with a bond to complete. It is disposable, but if you apply varnish at the end, you can wash it and use it several times.

First, fold it so that it has a crease in the cross.
