Cute Origami Paper Tutorial: Love Notes
Roses are red, violets are blue, love notes make me swoon, and so do you. Share a heartfelt note with someone you love and watch them blush! An easy tutorial on how to make an Origami love note within an envelope. Modify this design into an invitation to your teenager's birthday party. If so, you'll need party favors, and <a href="http://www.craftfoxes.com/projects/pinwheel-party-favors">these pinwheels</a> will do just the trick. Grab a pack of gel pens to finish them. (Or maybe these are origami invitations and party favors for *your* party. Hey, no one is too old for gel pens.) **Materials** Square sheet of paper Bone folder (optional)

Here's your origami sheet. (Notice "love" becomes "note" when flipped upside down? Crafty. But don't worry if all you have is a plain sheet of paper. Design it yourself!)

Step 2
