Fun to roll! Dandelion origamiNEW!
This is a voluminous dandelion origami made by rolling strips.
The petals spread out radially, giving a glamorous look.
Fold the origami paper in half and cut it, then fold each piece in half again.
Apply glue to the edge, join to form a ring, and make fine 5 mm cuts to create the petals.
Roll another piece of paper to make the stem, and fold and snip it to finish the leaves.
Wrap the petals around the stem and fluff them out for added dimension—it also works well as interior decor.
Combining yellow and orange will make it even more vibrant.
How to fold a cute tulipNEW!
Many tulip origami designs have two leaves, but this one features a single-leaf design.
To make the flower, fold a square of origami paper into a triangle, then fold up both corners.
The stem and leaf are created together from a single sheet, without separating them.
First, fold the paper into a triangle to crease it, open it, and fold all four edges to meet the crease.
Then, fold only the right edge the same way once more.
Rotate the paper so the right edge is now at the bottom, and fold it in half by bringing the top and bottom corners together.
Next, fold it in half again along the first crease, then gently pull out the thin inner section slightly to the outside to finish.
Combine it with the flower to complete your tulip.
Easy Sunflower OrigamiNEW!
Even young children who are just starting with origami can enjoy this easily! First, fold a yellow piece of origami paper in half into a square twice to make crease lines.
From each corner, fold toward the center along the creases you made.
Then open each folded section outward, leaving a small edge, and the sunflower’s petals are complete.
Next, take green origami paper, fold it once into a triangle and unfold it, then fold both sides toward the center along the crease.
Fold one of the sides toward the center once more, and fold the sharpest tip upward to finish the leaf.
Combine it with the flower you made first and display it!
Cute cherry blossom paper cutoutNEW!
Recommended when you want to mass-produce cherry blossoms with ease! First, fold the origami paper in half vertically.
Then fold it lengthwise again to make it narrow and unfold; also fold it into a square from the opposite direction and unfold to create crease lines.
From one end, fold up toward the crease, then fold the folded section in half and open it.
Next, fold one end toward the part you just folded, then flip the whole piece over and fold it in half.
Finally, make cuts shaped like cherry blossom petals and unfold to finish.
Make cherry blossoms in various colors and sizes and use them as decorations for a variety of spring events.
Also for Hinamatsuri! Cherry Blossom PapercutNEW!
Let’s cut origami paper and make lots of cherry blossoms! Fold the origami into a triangle twice, then open it once.
With the widest angle at the top, crease it in half from the top.
Fold both ends toward the far edge to form a shape like a triangle with three spiky points at the top.
Next, cut it into the shape of a single cherry blossom petal and unfold—done! If you want a papercut-style design, use the same folding method, but while cutting the petal shape, also cut out the center.
When you unfold it, each petal will look slightly hollowed out.
Make them in various colors and sizes, and decorate with plenty of them!
Also great for walls! A cherry blossom made with 5 sheets of origamiNEW!
Let’s make a cherry blossom using five sheets of origami.
Prepare five sheets of origami paper and start folding.
First, fold the paper into a triangle once; the key for the second triangle fold is to offset the tip slightly as you fold.
Fold up the side where the paper is not fluttering, and fold the opposite side to match the crease.
It’s also recommended to use glue to hold it in place so it doesn’t spread open.
Make five pieces in the same way, combine them, and finish as a single cherry blossom.
Using different colors of origami to create a variety of colorful cherry blossoms is also cute.
Sakura petal made of origamiNEW!
Let’s make cherry blossom petals that look a bit like hearts, with a cute three-dimensional feel.
After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice, fold the tip inward along the center line.
Flatten the upper part to shape it into a petal.
Cut the center area while leaving the edges intact, then overlap one side over the corner-folded side, and overlap the other side to create depth; glue them together to finish.
If you make lots of petals and everyone assembles them into a big cherry blossom tree, the project will feel richer and more fun.
