Post image for A Beautiful Way to Say “I Love You”

Don’t wait for Valentine’s day, Mother’s day or a birthday to give! An unexpected present creates a joyful moment for the recipient, and the giver too.
A handmade gift expresses depth of feeling and a greater degree of personal involvement in a relationship than a mass-produced item.

A few weeks ago, at Maria Sinayskaya’s flikr page, among her lovely creations, I spotted an origami rose-box, a perfect gift to surprise someone with. I could not rest until I figured out how to fold it.

Here I share a video showing how to make it.

Once made, fill the rose box with candy or small berries and leave it as a surprise for that special person in your life. It is beautiful and easy way to say “I love you” without having to say a word.

Thanks to Maria Sinayskaya for granting  permission to share her rose box.

Mi querida Leyla,
es un placer leerte, escuchar tu voz, y poder ver, aunque más no sea, tu alma en tus manos! GRACIAS por compartir con todos nosotros tus descubrimientos, tus recreaciones y, en este caso, hasta tu desvelo!
¿Acaso el amor no trae desvelo?
Te mando mi cariño desde la Patagonia!
Gracias! GabiOrso

El amor ciertamente trae desvelo, pero es lo que nos incita a dar más.
Recibo con cariño los abrazos tuyos de la Patagonia.
