How to fold an origami gift tag

Fold a square into a long strip, then clip one end into a point and blunt the other, just like a shop-bought gift tag.

You need: 1 square sheet, green or red on one side. Easy, 3 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a strip. Put the square coloured side up. Fold the top and bottom edges behind, so the paper becomes a long strip a bit under half as tall.
  2. Clip one end. Fold the two left corners behind on slanted lines, so that end of the tag comes to a short flat point.
  3. Blunt the other end. Fold the two right corners behind just a little, so the other end has small slanted corners.

To you, from me!

Draw a ringed hole near the point and write a name on the tag. Tie it to a present with a ribbon.
