Pop ice cream

How to Make Origami: Cute and Easy One-Sheet Ice Cream Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Ice Cream Easy

Let’s make an ice cream out of origami that feels especially delicious when you eat it in the hot summer.

You can make this idea with a single sheet of origami, but there are many small, detailed folds, so please make it together with an adult.

First, place the colored side of the paper facing up and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open the paper and reposition it so that the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold along the horizontal crease to make a small triangle.

Turn the paper over, and fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the two bottom edges toward the center line, and finally fold the top and side corners slightly inward—your ice cream is complete.

goldfish with a triangular tail fin

Goldfish origami folding method how to make

This goldfish is relatively easy to fold compared to other goldfish origami.

Because the shape is quite simple, drawing the eyes and scales might make it look more realistic.

To fold it, first make two diagonal folds along the corners.

Then fold the tip slightly, and fold it in half in the perpendicular direction to make a crease there.

Fold the triangular section at the bottom upward.

Finally, fold up the opposite edge from the head to form the tail along that line, and you’re done.

cherry tomato

[Preschool Crafts] Let’s Make It with Origami! Easy Mini Tomato ♪ | Origami Mini Tomato

When you think of mini tomatoes, they’re a classic lunchbox side and a popular variety people often grow in pots at home.

Let’s try making these mini tomatoes with origami.

Since they’re small, first cut a sheet of origami paper into quarters with scissors.

The folding method is relatively simple, so you’ll be able to make mini tomatoes one after another.

Color the folded-back white side green with a felt-tip pen to finish.

It would be fun to make a bunch and stick them on a branch so they look like a cluster.

Give it a try!

A goldfish you can make by folding six times

Origami easy goldfish folding method/how to make

This goldfish is one of the easiest origami goldfish to make.

Most goldfish origami usually starts by folding into a triangle, but this one is a bit unconventional because it begins with a square fold.

First, fold the paper in half to make a rectangle, then fold it diagonally along the diagonal.

After that, fold down the white section—this will become the tail fin.

Then make a small fold for the head, and it’s already done.

It’s an avant-garde style of origami, almost like a painting by Matisse or Picasso.

Summer Vegetable Origami - Easy Cucumber Origami ⭐︎ Simple origami you can fold in 3 minutes [with voice commentary]. Cute summer origami: how to fold a cucumber; summer vegetable origami @tentenmimi9626

Why not try making a cucumber out of origami that you can use for pretend play or as a summer wall decoration? With just a few steps, even a 3-year-old can give it a try.

For this idea, use a 15 cm sheet of origami paper cut in half.

Place the half sheet vertically and fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.

Then fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, and fold it down diagonally to the left.

Try folding it with the image of a slightly curved cucumber in mind.

Finally, tuck in all four corners to finish! Adding patterns or a face will make it extra cute.
