Yes, origami can be used to create not only decorative items but also functional objects. Origami Boxes, Origami Envelopes, Origami Bookmarks, Origami Wallets, Origami Organizers, etc. When attempting functional origami, it’s important to choose the right paper -strong paper or even fabric-backed paper can enhance the durability of your creations. Additionally, practice and precision are key to ensuring that the functional items work as intended.
