Far East

This is my version of a Kimono card.  I used origami paper and cardstock layered together.  After the card was folded I added "binding" around the edges.  I cut strips of matching turquoise paper, folded this in half and glued it to the edges.

The last step was to add a belt made out of a strip of paper and ribbon around the kimono.  This can be removed by untying it or just sliding it off.  There is a personal message inside.

This particular kimono does not have a collar while others you find directions for have different kinds of collars and decorations.  Here are some tutorials for you...
