origami bows

i love doing origami and i love bows, so when i saw this how-to-make origami bows on pinterest i knew i had to create some. of course, the instructions are in japanese, but luckily the photos are nice enough that you can figure it out. the left side of the picture above are the instructions that i found on pinterest and all the rest are the bows that i created. i made the bright lime bow first as my test, which alex ended up using on her gift to her cousin-to-be. i created four more origami bows and used those to decorate all the other gifts for the recent baby showers. they're so cute and really easy to make once you figure out the instructions. and depending on where exactly you put your folds you can make a bigger center part or smaller and so forth. i think i might have to create these for all my gift giving.
