There is origami involved, as you have probably guessed, but it is of a simple enough nature to be accessible to papercrafters who have never done any before.  The notes are folded into various, ingenious shapes to be displayed on cards, aided and abetted by some simple papercraft techniques that mainly involve cutting and sticking.  Cards are grouped under headings such as For Him, For Her, Kids Corner and Congratulations as well as the usual Search Press sections on what you need, learning the symbols and some basic techniques.  Themes covered include a car, shirt, fan, lantern, parasol and flowers.  Not all are flat or for cards - there is a heart that fits around a bottle, a lovely bouquet of roses, lotus flowers for floating down a table and even a wee wallet.  Banknotes from many different counties are shown, and of course even if you aren’t giving money you can fold any papers into these shapes to make the same items.  Fun, original and easy to understand for anybody who can follow a series of simple paper-folding diagrams.
