We are planning to go to Japan in the middle of the school term.
Kids need to say goodbye to their classmates and teachers.

I want to make some thank you and goodbye gifts for their friends.

As my kids are half Japanese, so I think Origami might be interesting. Would origami flowers on pencils be a memorable gift?

The colored paper I use is from the kids school.

Yes, school gave us lots of letters, news, and homework papers. I kept the colored paper.

This origami flower is a tulip, it is very easy to fold.
After creating the flower part, cut the bottom a tiny bit, stick a pencil to the cut hole, and tape around the pencil.

I used green floral tape to attach the flower to the pencil. That tape is bit stronger than washi tape.

Hmm… 40 pencil flowers. Still lots to go!
