Simple Ice Cream

[Easy Origami] How to Fold an Ice Cream — Origami How to Make Ice Cream Paper Craft, Cute, Easy, 종이접기 아이스크림

Let me show you a simple origami ice cream idea! First, fold the paper into a triangle, then open it and place the paper so the crease runs vertically.

Fold the lower left and right edges toward the center line.

Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner, crease well, and unfold.

Fold the top triangular part downward, flip the paper over, and fold the top down by about 1 cm.

Using the line just below the part you folded down, fold the lower triangle upward.

Then fold it down along the crease and flip the paper over again.

Lift the top triangular flap upward, and the ice cream and cone parts are complete.

Finally, tuck in the top and side corners to neaten the shape.

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!

Pac-Pac Fish

Surprisingly easy 💫 Pac-Man fish 🐟 #origami

Let me show you an easy way to fold a fish whose mouth opens and closes.

Fold the origami paper into thirds both vertically and horizontally to make crease lines, then unfold.

If you have a 3×3 grid of squares, you’re set.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases and unfold, then add one vertical crease on each side of the center line and unfold again.

Fold the top and bottom corners inward along the three vertical creases to form the protruding parts.

Pinch the left and right corners and fold along the creases—like magic, it turns into a fish shape! Fold the tail fin and dorsal fin inward, puff it up slightly, and it’s done.

If you pinch it top and bottom, the mouth opens and closes—very fun!

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.

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.

Plump goldfish

You can enjoy goldfish scooping too! Let’s make plump little goldfish! First, start by folding using the origami balloon method, and complete the front side just like the balloon.

Once that’s done, turn it over and fold the left and right corners down to meet the center line.

Fold up the lower-left corner, apply glue over one side, then fold it in half and stick it together.

Attach round stickers for the eyes.

There’s an air hole on the tail side, so use a straw to blow air into it and inflate.

And there you have it—a plump and cute goldfish! Put some lily-of-the-valley tape (suzuran tape) in a basin to look like water and enjoy playing goldfish scooping!
