This post is about Easter origami crafts.
Easter crafting tends to default to the same reliable territory every year — egg dyeing, tissue paper chicks, the occasional bonnet attempt that ends in mild chaos.
All lovely, but none quite as satisfying as folding a single square of paper into something that genuinely surprises you.
Origami and Easter are a better pairing than most people give them credit for.
PIN FOR LATER
Bunnies, eggs, tulips — the entire Easter visual vocabulary translates beautifully into folded paper, with results that range from simple enough for little hands to impressive enough to use as table centrepieces.
I discovered origami properly during a rainy Easter weekend a few years ago, and I’ve been slightly evangelical about it since.
