Mother’s Day is just a few days away, so if you are making your mother a special card, now is the time to get it done. Origami projects are really beautiful, and just imagine how pleased your mother will be if given an origami card on her special day.
Anyone can go to the store to find a card, and I’ll admit you can find some really nice ones. ( Sometimes you have to pay a ‘really nice’ price, too.)
The card pictured here is very simple, yet beautiful and different. You’ll never find one like it in any store. It won’t cost you an arm and a leg to make it, and you can have it finished in no time.

The best way to get started in origami is by following some easy origami diagrams. Once those folds and creases are learned, that is the time to move on to more advanced ones.
As a child, many of us learned to fold a sheet of paper into a pinwheel or perhaps a box, an envelope, a hat, a boat, or an airplane. (Remember writing a note on a piece of paper, folding it into an airplane, and sending it flying across the school classroom?) These were all simple items to make. By mastering the techniques we used for these projects, we are then in a position to learn new folds and methods and move on to more complicated designs.
