As you all know, at Cool Pencil Case, we love everything arts and crafts including origami! From hearts to stars to roses, we think it’s amazing how a sheet of paper can be transformed into a work of art! With Origami Day right around the corner (November 11th), we’ve been watching tutorials so we, too, can practice this beautiful Japanese art. Here’s one, we wanted to share with you guys, on how to make a paper crane. Don’t stress out if it didn’t come out the way you pictured it the first time…remember practice makes perfect!

PaperKawaii.com has been one of our recent favorites. The blog plays host to some of the cutest (and most intricate) origami projects Cool Pencil Case has seen in a while. As you know, we're all about creativity and creating special keepsakes by hand. Whether it's by creating amazing handmade cards, or in this case, origami paper craft, there's something about that extra effort into a simple gift from the heart that makes everyone smile.
Chrissy from Paper Kawaii used some of our Kawaii stickers to decorate some of her most recent projects. Our Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma Costume Change Stickers were great Springtime embellishments that really added a pop of color to her origami projects.
Against a solid color, the stickers made adorable decorations. This is a snapshot of her project done a month ago of an Origami Hexagonal Box.
To add to the Spring fun, a tutorial for a Spring Basket was featured a couple days ago. The Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma Costume change stickers include great Spring designs for your origami projects all season long. Check out the tutorial below!
PaperKawaii.com is definitely a website worth visiting! If you're in love with the outcome, but not too fond of hand/eye coordination, visit her Etsy store to see all the great things she's made now on sale for 50% off!
