Cute Origami Paper Tutorial: Love Notes

Roses are red, violets are blue, love notes make me swoon, and so do you. Share a heartfelt note with someone you love and watch them blush! An easy tutorial on how to make an Origami love note within an envelope.

Modify this design into an invitation to your teenager's birthday party. If so, you'll need party favors, and these pinwheels will do just the trick. Grab a pack of gel pens to finish them. (Or maybe these are origami invitations and party favors for your party. Hey, no one is too old for gel pens.)

Materials Square sheet of paper Bone folder (optional)

Step 1

Here's your origami sheet. (Notice love becomes note when flipped upside down? Crafty. But don't worry if all you have is a plain sheet of paper. Design it yourself!)

Flip the origami over so that the inside of the note is facing up. Fold in half so the lower point touches the upper point.
