Small gift

[Origami] Easy ♡ Perfect for a small gift! | Origami gift wrapping

Here’s an idea for a little gift bag you can make from origami.

The cute, rounded triangular shape is adorable.

It’s very easy to make.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold about 1 cm along the bottom so that the white side shows.

Flip the paper over, then fold the left and right edges toward the center so they overlap slightly, and glue the overlap.

Next, fold the paper in half vertically and open it back up, then apply glue to the top half.

Fold it again so the edge tucks into the folded section.

Finally, open the top to form the bag, and you’re done! Put your small gift inside and fold down the white part to make a flap to close it.
