Quick and cute! Sunflower origamiNEW!

[Origami Sunflower] A super easy way to fold it 💙 Slow, step-by-step explanation ♪ How to make a very easy sunflower origami

This is an easy sunflower made with 7.5 cm square origami paper and 4 cm square origami paper.

Fold the larger sheet in half horizontally twice, then fold all four corners toward the center.

From the center, fold each corner back at the 2 cm mark and turn it over.

For the smaller sheet, fold it twice to make a triangle, then fold the corners toward the center.

Unfold, and make small folds toward the creases you just made.

Fold the remaining three corners the same way, then stick it onto the center of the larger piece.

Draw a face or sunflower patterns to finish.

It’s very simple, so it’s perfect as a recreational activity for young children up to seniors.

Origami sunflower seedNEW!

sunflower seed origami

You’ve finished the yellow petals of the sunflower, but aren’t sure what to do for the brown center? This will help! Prepare a sheet of brown origami paper.

First, fold it in half into a square twice, then unfold to make crease lines.

Fold each corner toward the central crease, then fold toward the center two more times to form a small square.

After that, just draw a grid pattern and you’re done! Combine it with the yellow sunflower petals you made separately from origami, or with a drawing of a sunflower that has only the petals.

King of insects! Origami rhinoceros beetleNEW!

King of insects!! Origami rhinoceros beetle [origami] Easy to make! Parent-child origami! The stag beetle’s rival!!

Some families may do origami together with their children.

If you’re going to do it, you’ll want to fold something that’s easy for kids, right? There are beetle designs—king of the insects—that are simple to fold.

Even though they’re easy for kids, the wings and body are clearly separated like a real rhinoceros beetle.

It even has a long, impressive horn that gives it that authentic beetle presence.

It’s also a great idea to make a watermelon or a tree out of construction paper or origami and display them together with the beetle.

How about making lots of beetles and putting them on display?

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.

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!

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!
