She will become original present that will be remembered for a long time. The very same holiday of all lovers began to be celebrated recently, and the origami technique was carefully guarded for centuries and was inherited between Japanese craftsmen.

Origin of origami

This art is familiar to mankind with civilized Japanese traditions. It appeared in 610 in China, from where the first paper made from silkworm cocoons was brought to Japan, as well as the skill of folding different figures from her. Over time, such paper crafts received the Japanese name - ori kami (meaning "folded paper" or "idol"). This ability to create products with an easy method of paper construction won the hearts of the masters of the East and soon conquered the whole world. After some time, origami began to be made, they were also created, but a little later.

How the crafts were used

The Japanese hoped that this thing, folded with their own hands, would be able to convey some part of the craftsman's soul. Therefore, it was customary to make origami in a serene environment, with and with love. The origami valentine was made in the same way. With their own hands, people created it in order to give it to the closest people, to wish them happiness and wealth. Such skill requires mindfulness, self-control and even meditation. Today, the art of folding some ancient paper figures has still been preserved, for example: Kusu lady (protects dreams), Pahari (brings good luck), a thousand cranes (fulfills wishes).

Varieties of origami

This technique has two types of crafts:

• Classic - the figures are made according to the size of the square, glue and scissors are not required.
• Modular - various simple and complex compositions are produced from a huge number (up to 100,000 accessories) of separately prepared modules-parts. In the process of work, glue can be used to adhere the parts.

Everything is very simple

The paper origami technique is very popular today. Valentine cards simply enchant with their originality, simplicity and give joy to both the performer and the recipient of a beautiful creation. Not only adults, but also children can make such crafts. And the price category of the present does not matter at all when the product is presented by relatives and loved ones. Therefore, origami valentines are gaining more and more popularity.

5. Both outer corners must be folded in different directions to the line of inflection of a large corner.
6. Now you need to tuck all the small corners, with the exception of the inner one. You can see what kind of origami valentine came out (the scheme for its production did not take much effort and imagination from the developers).
