  • Puzzle Purses are little folded paper pockets which can be decorated and filled with a message, or used as a little envelope. They were popular love tokens in the 18th and 19th centuries.
    They make a lovely, thoughtful valentines gift, but are also nice to send to friends or family at any time of the year.

      i suggest completly folding and forming each pinwheel, so that the shape is like okay and then doing them one by one

      @rudypIays 5 месяцев назад +22

      What helped me is drawing the 4 lines diagonally like she did right before it looks like a pinwheel. And then instinctively try to push those lines to match the center of your paper.
