Here’s how to make a penguin bookmark that makes reading even more fun.

Get one sheet of origami paper and some colored pens, and let’s get started.

As you make the creases, you’ll form the part that slips onto the page.

When shaping the beak and wings, firmly crease the folds so the bookmark keeps a stable shape.

Color the beak and draw the face with your pens, and you’re done.

It could also make a cute little gift!

Penguin from Sumikko Gurashi

Re: [Sumikko Gurashi Penguin Origami] Slow Version
Penguin from Sumikko Gurashi

Here’s how to fold a loose and cute Sumikko Gurashi-style penguin.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper, some colored pens, and scissors.

Start by folding the origami paper into a square.

Open it once, then fold the left and right sides toward the center crease.

After making firm creases, hold the center down and fold both sides into triangles, puffing them up slightly as you go.

The key is to keep both sides symmetrical.

Make small cuts on the two layers at one tip on one side, then fold them inward.

Shape the figure, folding while letting the corners peek out a bit, and you’re done.

Use felt-tip pens to draw the face and other details—have fun creating your penguin!

penguin ornament

Let me introduce a cute penguin ornament that looks adorable wherever you place it.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper, a felt-tip pen, and glue, and let’s get started.

We’ll fold it using the basic crane method, but for the parts where you puff up the paper, it’s best to go slowly and provide support while folding.

Open up the origami, and while puffing it along the crease lines, tuck it in to form the penguin’s body.

Folding this section evenly will make the ornament stable when displayed.

Finish by making the wings, beak, and feet.

Even just lining them up and looking at them makes for charming penguin ornaments.

Here is how to fold a dancing penguin origami that lets you enjoy a variety of movements.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and some colored pens, and let’s get started.

First, make creases as you fold.

Fold the full open corners.

Using the head area as the center, shape the whole model into a box-like form, aligning it with the creases you made at the beginning.

By carefully making inside and outside reverse folds, you’ll end up with a sturdy final model.

The feet also act like springs, so fold them firmly.

Once it’s finished, draw the penguin’s face and try playing with it together with the kids.

Let’s make a long-tailed tit, known as the “fairy of winter,” out of origami.

This model can stand on its own, so you can use it as a winter decoration.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to make crease lines, then open it up.

Fold two opposite corners inward along the creases as you collapse the paper.

Next, fold the top left and right edges toward the center line, then fold the paper in half along the horizontal crease.

Fold the lifted section to match the triangular shape on the back.

Use the front triangle to form the long-tailed tit’s tail, and the back triangle to shape its body.

Once it’s finished, draw the face to make it extra cute.

♬ Little Prince – Park so hyun

I’ll show you how to fold a Mount Fuji ema that’s perfect for New Year’s.

Use brown and light blue origami paper.

First, fold the brown paper into a square twice.

Fold the two bottom corners in to meet the center line, then fold both bottom edges up to the center as well.

On the unfolded side, lightly fold both ends diagonally from the center so the top becomes wider.

Next, fold the light blue paper into a triangle, then fold the front layer back down slightly so a bit of the bottom remains showing.

Fold the tip of the top triangle down to the center.

Fold the bottom triangle up in four steps, aligning with the edges each time like an accordion.

Flip it over and fold it up to the center.

On the opposite section, fold both edges in to align with the sides.

Fold any color that sticks out back inside.

Finally, glue Mount Fuji onto the ema, and you’re done!

persimmon

Recommended for three-year-olds! Here’s a simple way to fold a persimmon.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, a pre-made stem, glue, and crayons or pens.

First, fold the origami using the basic square fold, then fold all the corners in slightly and flip it over.

Next, glue on the stem you prepared, draw a face on the persimmon with crayons or pens, and you’re done! It’s easy to fold, so children should be able to work through it on their own.

Since folding the corners is a bit fiddly, if any child seems to have trouble, encourage them to help each other or fold together with an adult.
