16 Amazing Origami Designs You Will Want To Create Yourself

Origami is a practice loved by many and can take a long time to master. In case you weren’t aware… November 11th is Origami Day in Japan. But, did you know that origami is not entirely a Japanese invention? A similar art using cut or marked paper was used in ancient Japan, and is first mentioned in texts from 1680. However, a century later, school children in Europe were taught simple mathematical shapes by folding whole pieces of paper. This technique was later imported to Japan and is the root of modern origami. Today’s experts at origami can come up with the most amazing shapes. From a likeness of a violin, to that of Yoda, check out some awesome designs that you’ll definitely want to give a go below!
