Since the pandemic all of us have been astounded by the bravery and kindness of our key workers. Thought deeply about those who are sick and those who need extra help.  Why not make a few of these simple origami butterflies, pop a little message in the wing and leave them at a doorstop of someone you know to send your love. Give thanks to an NHS worker you know. Pop one on the top of a bin the morning the bin-men come, give one to the local newsagent. Post one to someone who is elderly, vulnerable or sick. Let’s spread the love with these little tokens of kindness.  Let them fly all over sending positivity.

Here is the original video from Hannahs Instagram live on @makebox.co
