November 11th is National Origami Day. The folded paper crane is an international symbol of peace. However, there’s a lot more to origami than simple birds. Origami Day is all about promoting the art of paper folding and showcasing incredible creations. This month’s challenge is to make an origami creation and give it to someone you are grateful for.
