Simple origami note style you can create for Valentine’s day

Origami-inspired note formats are an interesting way to make the act of keeping a note feel special and decorative. Here are two simple ideas you can try today while writing a love note for Valentine’s day.

The pocket origami note

– What you need: a square sheet of paper (4 x 4 inches works well).

Instructions: Folding the Note.

1) Write your note on one side of the square.

2) Fold the paper in half horizontally to make a rectangle; crease well.

3) Fold the top edge down to meet the bottom edge, forming a smaller square; crease.

4) Fold the left and right edges toward the center to create a little pocket at the bottom.

5) Tuck the folded note into the pocket so you can pull it out when you’re ready to read it.

Why it’s worth creating an origami note: you get a tactile note you can carry in a binder or planner that invites you to keep it.

Idea 2: The origami bookmark-note

– What you need: a rectangle sheet of paper.

– How to fold:

1) Write your note on one side.

2) Fold the sheet in half lengthwise to create a long card.

3) Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center to form a slim, flat bookmark with a pocket in the middle for a small slip of paper containing your note.

This note doubles as a bookmark and a note carrier, so you can make the card again for different books or as your loved one finishes a chapter. The card is special but is still simple to make.
