A beautiful silhouette is the highlight! Here’s an idea for an accordion-fold butterfly.

Accordion folding creates fine pleats by making alternating creases in the paper.

When you open the accordion-folded paper, it takes on a fan-like shape, and by using this technique you can make three-dimensional shapes and items with movement—highly recommended! You can complete an accordion butterfly with just a single sheet of origami paper in your favorite color or pattern, so it’s easy to get started.

Definitely give it a try!

A round-shaped paper airplane is something new! Here’s an idea for a ring paper airplane.

For children, paper airplanes are simple yet offer endless fun.

With just a few clever twists to origami, you can add the joy of flying and a sense of friendly competition—that’s part of the charm.

This time, let’s make a ring paper airplane using origami.

I’ll show you how to make onigiri that kids love.

Prepare one sheet of black origami paper and let’s get started.

Fold it into a triangle with the black side on the inside.

Fold both corners of the triangle up toward the center.

With the loose flaps facing you, hold the three layers of paper and fold them upward so they form the seaweed (nori) on the onigiri.

Make firm crease lines—it might take a bit of effort, but that’s the key point.

Flip it over and fold the remaining single layer up as well, then puff it up from the inside to give it shape, and you’re done! It can be fun to make several onigiri and arrange them like a bento lunch.
