Want inspiration for origami to make with index cards? Here's a list to get you started.
  • Jumping frog
  • Crane
  • Boat
  • Flower
  • Heart
  • Envelope
  • Butterfly
  • Bookmarks

Check out this step-by-step guide to make an origami jumping frog.
  1. Place the index card vertically in front of you. Fold the top right corner down diagonally until the top of the card meets the left side.
  2. Unfold the card and do the same with the top left corner. These folds should create four triangles at the top of your card.
  3. Grasp the right and left edges of the card at the midpoint of the right and left triangles and fold the two sides inward until you're able to press the top of the card all the way down.
  4. The top of the card should now be a layered triangle, with flaps on top. Fold the right flap of the triangle up to the top corner of the triangle. Do the same with the left flap.
  5. Fold the right edge of your index card into the middle so that the right edge meets the vertical center line. Do the same with the left edge.
  6. Fold the bottom of the card up so that it slightly passes the top, then halfway back down again to meet the new fold at the bottom.
  7. Turn the frog over and it's done! You can make it jump by gently pressing the back of the frog down with your finger and sliding it off.

I need help figuring out what to eat
Hello friends, I’m (24 F) looking for interesting ideas on what to have for dinner. I’m extremely uninspired and it feels like every blog post and Pinterest board about recipes is just recycling the same ideas over and over again, just using different terms or slightly different ingredients. Give me your most unique, interested, and not-totally-impossible meal/meal prep ideas!

How to Create Engaging Content for Beginners?
Hi everyone,

I’m new to content creation and I’m trying to improve my skills. I’ve been reading some articles on WikiHow, and they are incredibly helpful! However, I still have a few questions about creating engaging content that resonates with readers.

Here’s what I’d like to ask:

What makes content engaging? Is it the structure, tone, or visuals?
How can I find unique topics to write about? Sometimes I feel like everything has already been covered.
Tips for beginners: Are there any tools or resources you recommend for someone just starting out?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. If you have any examples of content that worked well for you, please share them!

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
