Cute mittens origami

Nursery Ideas: Winter Origami — Easy Mitten Origami (Kids Can Make It Themselves!) · Origami Gloves Easy
Cute mittens origami

Here’s an idea for making mitten gloves out of origami.

First, fold the paper in half twice to create a square and make crease lines.

Place the paper with the colored side up, then fold the bottom edge up to align with the central crease.

Fold the left corner of the folded-up section downward to form a triangle, then unfold the bottom edge once and make a roll fold along the crease.

Turn the paper over, and fold the left and right edges diagonally so they align just outside the center line.

Next, fold the top left and right corners toward the center line.

Finally, fold down the top corner to finish.

When making the second mitten, reverse which corner you fold into a triangle so you get the opposite hand.

♬ Last Christmas (Pudding Mix) – Wham!

For kids, a Christmas feast means fried chicken! Many families even place orders at KFC so they can enjoy it on Christmas.

Here’s an idea for making fried chicken out of origami.

First, fold the paper in half both ways to make a cross crease, then open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold up the bottom edge by about 1.5 cm, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right edges to meet the center line.

From here, fold more precisely to create the handle (bone) section.

Once the handle is done, tuck the corners of the chicken part inward to finish.

To make it look more chicken-like, draw little pepper specks with a black pen.

Here’s how to fold an origami penguin that can also wear a hat and scarf.

First, fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

With a corner pointing down, fold up the top layer so about 2 centimeters stick out, then fold it down along the edge.

Fold the edge you just made in half to make a crease, then fold the bottom corner up to that crease to set a guideline.

Next, fold the other corner up toward the front crease.

Fold the tip of the corner down just a little.

Fold up along the crease you made earlier, align the edges, and fold the whole piece in half.

Finally, adjust the shape to look like a penguin and draw the eyes with a pen to finish.

Try making a hat and scarf for it, too!

Here’s a super cute way to fold a penguin that’s perfect to attach to letters or cards! First, place the origami paper with the back side facing up and fold it into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Lift one corner up to just slightly before the center line, then fold both edges of the lifted section upward at a slight diagonal.

Fold both corners of that folded section inward.

Turn it over so the white side is facing you, and fold along the center line twice to shape the face.

Next, use a 2.5 cm piece of origami paper to make the hands.

Start with a basic “zabuton” fold, then fold both corners diagonally to shape the hands.

Make two of these.

Finally, glue the hands on, and add eyes and a mouth with round stickers or similar—done!
