Well, it is not a type of yoga, nor a new Japanese recipe, nor a "Chinese" martial art, but "the art of folding paper, and we say ART because surely when you see this post that we have prepared for you you will have no doubt that it is a Japanese feat!

Origami comes from the Japanese words "Ori" which means folded and "gami" which means paper, in English it is called Origami ...Now there are no doubts! :)

With a little creativity and patience, great wonders like the ones we expose can be achieved. Decide first what you want to decorate; From a part of the wall at the entrance of your house, living room or bedroom, a mobile for your children or decorative hanging garlands. Choose a patterned or plain paper or a mix of both and a color palette to give play and dynamism to the composition. Now it's up to you to decide on the type of figure: flat geometric ones are the easiest to make and give very good results, pompoms, flowers, 3D shapes...

Not only will you get an original and fun element to decorate your house, but you can do it with your children, family or friends. In addition, this work allows the creativity and imagination of young and old to develop.
