[Origami Spring Flowers] Easy and Cute Dandelion Folding Method | Origami Dandelion

Let’s make an origami dandelion, like the cute ones that peek out along roadsides in spring.

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold both sides toward the center crease.

Fold it again along the center line, then open it slightly, puff it up, and gently squash it into a triangle, aligning the tips so they don’t shift.

For the flower, carefully form the petals with your fingertips, making sure the overall shape and size are even.

Be careful when making slits with scissors.

Once you make the stem and leaves with green origami paper, it’s complete.

It’s also great for decorating walls.

[Easy Origami] Even small kids can fold it! Cute♡ Tulip | Origami Tulip

Tulips are perfect for spring message cards and wall displays.

The method is simple, making it great for children’s fine motor practice.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and fold them separately for the flower and the leaves.

For the flower, fold the paper in half into a triangle, then hold the left and right corners and fold them up diagonally.

Flip the paper over, fold the tip to round it off, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then fold the tip toward the center.

When shaping the leaves, watch the balance and make them even.

It’s also a great idea to glue the finished leaves and flower together and add a message.

Give it a try!

Tulip Origami You Can Make with Two Sheets of Origami Paper!NEW!

[Can be made with 2 sheets of origami] Easy! How to fold a tulip ◇ Origami Tulip — cute spring flower ◇

Here’s an origami tulip idea where valley folds are the key.

First, make creases to divide the paper into a 4×4 grid.

Once the creases are set, place the paper color side up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the topmost crease, then fold it back down at the bottommost crease.

Do the same with the top edge.

Flip the paper over again, turn it vertically, then fold the bottom edge up along the lowest crease.

Pull the left and right corners downward to open the pockets and squash them flat.

Fold both corners into triangles, then fold the remaining center section forward.

Fold the two corners of that section into triangles as well to form three petals.

Make a wrap fold along the top edge to match the crease, then fold the corners to round them off, and you’re done.

Use another sheet of origami paper to make the stem and leaves.

Cute for display! 3D tulipsNEW!

[Preschool Crafts] Spring Craft♪ 3D Tulip You Can Make with Origami 🌷 | Origami Tulips

Introducing a tulip idea that results in a striking piece by curving the tips of the petals! After doing the “zabuton fold,” which gathers the corners of the origami to the center, fold it into a triangle twice, squash the pocket that forms, and return the paper to a square.

Fold the corners of the square on both sides to the center line, flip the paper so the folded parts are on the inside, and then fold the bottom edge slightly inward.

Cut the bottom corner of the origami and puff it out from the inside to complete the tulip flower.

Curve the tips of the petals for a three-dimensional finish, attach the stem and leaves, and you’re done.

Let’s make a ladybug out of origami that kids will love! First, prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.

Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Then, take the top corner where the layers overlap and fold it down toward you by about 1 cm, leaving the very bottom part as is.

Next, tuck the corner you just folded down slightly inward.

Fold the remaining top corner to the back so it isn’t visible from the front.
