Make it larger and you’ll have a showy dandelion that works as a wall decoration.

Draw patterns on a rectangular piece of origami paper, cut it out, and use it to represent grass.

By layering and connecting additional petals, you’ll achieve a three-dimensional finish.

Varying the colors and sizes will instantly brighten up a space—an idea enjoyable for both kids and adults.

It can also be used as a seasonal display.

When you gently unfold it, a radiating pattern appears, revealing delicate fluff.

It’s a project that’s fun to open and see, recommended for both kids and adults.

[Origami] Ladybug

Origami 'Ladybug' [Easy] [Ages 3 and up] [Craft]

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.

Finally, fold the left, right, and bottom corners slightly to the back—and you’re done! Use a pen and round stickers to draw the wing patterns and the ladybug’s face to make it extra cute.

An easy way to fold a tulip

Spring Origami: Easy Tulip Folding Method [With Audio Commentary]

It’s a clever idea that recreates one of the tulip’s features: leaves shaped to hide the stem.

For the flower, you basically fold the origami into a triangle, then fold up both corners.

Tuck the tips to the back to round them off for a nice finish.

For the leaves, fold the origami into a triangle to make a crease, open it, then fold the top and bottom corners to the center.

Next, fold all four edges slightly away from the initial crease.

At this point, make sure the top, bottom, left, and right corners come to sharp points.

Once all edges are folded, fold the paper in half along the crease, then overlap the left and right corners to halve it again.

Finally, fold one of the overlapped corners back diagonally, and you’re done.
