A fun-to-play roly-poly flowerNEW!

Origami Toy “Standing-Up Flower”

A curious piece of origami where a flower dropped upside down springs right back up.

It’s an idea that older kindergarteners bursting with curiosity are sure to love! First, fold the origami paper in half horizontally, then fold it halfway toward the crease, and again halfway… adding lots of crease lines.

After folding the four corners toward the center, keep folding along the creases.

It may seem a bit complicated, but once you understand the steps, it’s actually easy.

Try it while playing the video in slow motion.

It’s a delightful pop-up flower you’ll want to drop again and again.

Origami four-leaf clover

How to Fold a Four-Leaf Clover: Spring Wall Display and Decorations [Origami]

Let’s make a lucky four-leaf clover.

You’ll combine four sheets of origami to create it, but the folding itself is simple, so even children who aren’t used to origami should be able to do it.

Think of it as folding a heart-shaped origami four times.

Once it’s done, you can use it as a wall decoration or paste it onto construction paper as part of a picture.

By the way, the key is to make crisp initial creases.

If they’re misaligned, the whole piece will end up distorted, so be careful.

Cute mini basketNEW!

DIY MINI PAPER BASKET / Origami Basket DIY / Paper Craft / Easy craft ideas / Paper Craft New

Let’s make a mini basket for small items using construction paper.

Prepare a 15 cm × 21 cm sheet, then fold it in half to make a small rectangle.

Open it after creasing, and fold the left and right edges to meet the center crease.

Next, fold all four corners into triangles.

The key is to fold them slightly away from the center line.

Aligning with the inner edges of the triangles, fold the left and right sides to make creases, then fold the top and bottom edges you first folded outward by about 1 cm.

Once folded, open it up from there to form a box shape.

Attach a handle and decorations, and it’s complete!

Tulip wreathNEW!

[Origami] A tulip wreath where the leaf part forms the wreath 🌷 How to make origami “Tulip Wreath.”

How about a beautiful wreath adorned with colorful tulips? It may look difficult, but each individual part is easy to fold, so let’s work together to make it! Prepare 8 sheets of origami for the wreath’s leaf section, and for the flowers, use paper that’s one-quarter the size of the wreath pieces—three sheets per flower, for a total of 8 flowers.

Crease firmly as you fold, and use the larger origami to create the wreath components.

Once you’ve made all 8, assemble them to form a circular wreath.

Next, make 8 flowers using 3 small sheets each, and attach them along the wreath’s stem area.

Combine all the parts everyone made and complete a lovely wreath.

Origami bee with cute heart-shaped wings!NEW!

Origami [Bee] Origami Bee

Let’s make a bee by creating and combining the head, body, and wings.

In this idea, the first step for all parts is to fold the origami into a triangle.

Be sure to align the corners carefully as you fold.

From there, transform each piece into its respective part.

For the antennae, open up the folded section from the inside and squash it; a thin tool like a cuticle stick or similar can be helpful.

For the body, fold so that the white side shows on the front like a collar.

Make the wings from white origami paper with a heart shape in mind, and attach them to the back of the body.

After adding the head, draw the face with a pen to finish!

Also for walls! How to fold a cherry treeNEW!

[Spring Origami] How to fold a cherry blossom tree with voice instructions ☆ Origami Cherry Tree Tutorial

If you make lots and display them on the wall, your room will be filled with a springtime scene of cherry blossoms! First, create diagonal X-shaped creases, then fold both ends toward the central crease to form long, narrow points.

Flip it over, fold both ends toward the center again, and create long, narrow points in the opposite direction from before.

Fold it in half down the middle, fold the white part of the origami downward, then fold the pink part behind it in the same direction and tuck it inside.

Round off the corners overall to finish! It’s also recommended to add cherry blossom flowers punched out with a sakura craft punch.

A cute bush warbler you can carry on your back!NEW!

One Sheet of Origami [Bush Warbler] Origami Japanese nightingale (warbler)

Here’s an idea for a display where you can place another origami creation, like an animal, on its back.

First, fold the paper in half into a triangle twice, then open it once.

Fold both ends up toward the crease that formed in the center.

Next, turn it over and fold up the open section, then fold up the previously folded section in the same direction.

Open one of the parts you folded later to form a small square, then make a beak to create the bush warbler’s face.

Fold back the large flaring section and shape it to form the bush warbler’s belly.

Fold in the extra corners to make the wings, glue any parts that tend to open, and you’re done.

Add the bush warbler’s eyes with round stickers or by drawing them with a pen.

Place your other origami creations on the wing section!
