It’s mother’s day in Ireland this weekend and in an effort to avoid that awful plastic wrapping you get with most shop bought mothers day cards I’m making my own. Personally I wouldn’t mind not getting a card as long as there was some gesture of appreciation, but I think my mum would be heartbroken if she didn’t so this is for her.

I found this tutorial for a pretty origami dress online and teamed it with some cute patterned card that I’ve had stashed for years. I tried a few tutorials and this was the one i thought was the easiest. The tutorial is for paper so my card was a little bit stiff, which made it a bit tricky so I decided to hide its imperfections with daisy edging from a ribbon – also from the stash!

Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there.
