Strawberry message card
Let’s deliver a message to someone special! Here are some ideas for strawberry-themed message cards.
You’ll need red or pink origami paper, pens, and stickers.
Strawberry message cards are a lovely way to send a heartfelt note to someone important.
Make a strawberry shape using red or pink origami paper, then add cute designs with pens and stickers to create your own original card.
It’s an easy way to give a small gift or express your appreciation, and it’s perfect for exchanging messages with family and friends.
strawberry tray
It’s exciting that you can make this with just one sheet of origami paper! Let me introduce an idea for a strawberry tray.
All you need to prepare is red or pink origami paper.
Make a cute tray with a strawberry motif and try putting your favorite small items or snacks in it! Some parts of the process are a bit complex, but once you master them, you can apply the techniques to various folds, so it’s a good idea to try it together with friends, guardians, or teachers.
If you color the leafy top with crayons or colored pencils, it will look even nicer!
Rabbit BOX
Let’s use it to hold sweets and small items! Here are some ideas for a Bunny Box.
All you need is origami paper in your favorite colors or patterns, a pen, and glue.
It’s an origami idea that’s both practical and cute.
Its perky, straight-up ears are a distinctive and very charming feature.
Once finished, the bunny box is perfect for storing treats or trinkets and also makes a nice gift.
You can draw a face with a pen or decorate it with stickers to give it even more personality.
Give it a try!
Rabbit Hina Doll (Princess)
Let’s make a cute rabbit Hina doll! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then open the pocket to form a square.
Fold the flappy layer all the way up to make a crease, then unfold it, and fold the tip up again to the crease.
Fold both left and right corners toward the center crease, then fold along the center line on the back starting from the top corners on both sides—you’ll start to see rabbit-like ears appear! Flip it over, fold the flappy layer up, and fold the tip down so it lines up with the center line.
Fold both sides in a triangle toward the center line, then fold the flappy parts outward, and you’re done! You can use the same folding method to make the rabbit prince doll too!
Rabbit amulet
A gift for someone special! Here are ideas for making a rabbit charm with origami.
You’ll need origami paper in your favorite colors, white origami paper cut into 7.5 cm squares, white round stickers, colored pens, thread, tape, and glue or double-sided tape.
It’s perfect not only as a charm for yourself, but also as a gift for someone you care about.
Make the charm with colorful origami, and use the white paper and stickers to have a cute little rabbit peeking out! By decorating it with thread and tape, you can create a practical and lovely charm.
