ORIGAMI

Almost everybody reading this article will be aware of this art as we all have experienced Origami from our playschool and nursery days.

Origami is an art of making articles just by folding, cutting, twisting Paper and it has its roots in Japanese culture.

We can use a newspaper, Xerox paper, marble paper, or tinted marble paper for origami art.

There’s nothing quite like the joy you get from transforming a plain square piece of paper into a container, animal, flower etc.

Origami is fun, easy, inexpensive and great to deal with.

Following are the photos of origami articles that I made in 1 day especially for the readers of this blog.

I learnt to make these things in my school days under the subject ‘Work Experience’
