Years ago I came across this delightful project on the Martha Stewart web site. Ever since, my dad has received several Father’s Day cards with variations of this little shirt. Recently I made the cards below out of Ink & Paper gift wrap and a page from a magazine.

To try your hand at origami download and follow these easy instructions. I referenced Martha Stewart and Mad About Cards to create the illustrations and instructions. Try personalizing by adding a goofy tie or bowtie, using materials specific to your recipient, or changing the scale. When finished, adorn a card, create a gift tag, or hide with a note for dear ol’ dad to find when he grabs his coffee mug or puts on his socks this upcoming Sunday.

To cute, Father’s Day isn’t until September here but this is certainly what I’ll make for my Dad.
Very cute – I just made one for my dad and my father-in-law. I found your blog today and am loving it!
I have always been a fan of folding paper particularly making paper airplanes. I started with a software called The Greatest Paper Airplanes published by Kitty Hawk. Unfortunately the software is no longer distributed today. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes. It’s a good place to start learning origami.
