Description:
If you google tea bag folding you will find several easy folds to start. If you make the squares an inch or less they should fit on your standard size atc, We will be using the 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 size. You may cut your papers from anything you desire. It's easier with writing weight paper. Think computer/school tablet, that weight. The papers should be decorated before you fold. Use your imagination. One thing more, don't use white card stock backing. Go for a color or pattern, something that will make your origami pop. You'll need one per partner, for a total of two. Start now!

Watching this one... I'll first try to do one this week end, and if I can figure it out, I'll join. I only found instruction in english and I have to admit that I'm a bit "challenged" if there are no little pictures for the step by step.

@Toupti there are...I'll post the link when I find them again.

Here are instructions on one of the folds - I choose to link to these instructions because the pictures are more understandable than others to me. I also have a YouTube video to the one I'm doing on my Social Network. It is the butterfly fold.

@beadeful ~ thanks for that, after a few research, I also found a few site with pictures for the step by step. I managed to do one, but it ended up a bit too big to fit on an ATC. Now, I have to try and see if I can make a smaller one before sign up deadline (my father being in the hospital, it's time consuming).

cut the squares 1 and 1/4 inch. Think inchie!

I managed to fit 1.5 inch on an ATC. I'm really clumsy and for some reason I can't seem to fold smaller than that. I tried I promiss....!!! Hopefully, my partner will not be disappointed with the ATC I came up with.

I did mine with a 2 x 2. It was my second try doing a butterfly technique. That was the easiest for me. I may try another to see which one is the best to send.

You are so good! Point is size can be adjusted by square size! I used that size because that was what I could cut from tea bags!! Magazine pages work well too!!! Can you tell I'm excited?
