I used a 6 x 6 inch square of origami paper that I had in my paper stash (purchased from Daiso); added some twine; little pegs; and washi tape. I love how the dress gives the card a 3D element.
It would be fun to make up a batch of dresses and them frame them to decorate a little girls bedroom. I think I will be making a lot more of these origami dresses.
The dresses are quite easy to make - they would be fun creative activity to do with kids over the school holidays.
As I love to give hand made, I also sewed a House Lavender Sachet to pop in with my friend's gift, using the fabulous tutorial over at Retro Mama (complete with a Number 1 for her new house that is under construction!)

Squeal! love, love, love the card!!
The little dresses are adorable. I don't make cards, but constantly need them, so I am tempted to try it.
What a sweet card! I love those adorable little clothespins too. I just imagine how fun it would be to open an envelope to find this fabulous card.
I love these dresses , the possibilities are endless!
