cherry blossom

[Origami] How to make a cherry blossom (this method makes the center of the origami the center of the flower)

Let’s make cherry blossoms out of origami—perfect for spring crafts and wall decorations! In addition to folding, this project also involves cutting, so please have scissors ready.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold it in half again and make a crease at the right edge, then open it.

Turn the paper vertically, fold it in half vertically again, make a crease at the left edge, and open it.

Fold up the bottom edge to align with the crease, then make another crease at the left edge and open it.

Turn the paper horizontally, and fold so that the right crease lines up with the upper left crease.

Fold the top layer back to align with the right edge, then fold the left edge along the crease created by that fold.

Flip the paper over, align both edges, and fold into a triangle; the folding steps are now complete.

Using a pencil, draw half of a petal shape and cut it out with scissors, then open it up.

You’ll have a beautiful cherry blossom!

strawberry

[Origami] Easy and Cute Strawberry Folding Method – Origami Strawberry [Food]

Let’s make sweet and delicious strawberries with origami.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to create a rounded strawberry shape.

Attach a calyx made from green origami and draw the seeds, and your tasty-looking strawberry is complete! For the slightly tricky calyx, it’s a good idea to fold it together with teachers, or to cut calyx shapes out of construction paper and glue them on.

Displaying tiny mini-strawberries made from small origami alongside larger strawberries made from standard origami paper also looks adorable.

bamboo shoot

[Origami] How to fold a bamboo shoot / [Origami] How to fold bamboo shoot.

Let’s make a bamboo shoot—one of the ingredients that come into season in spring—out of origami! First, crease a cross (vertical and horizontal) on the paper.

Fold the near edge toward the center line and unfold.

Then fold the bottom edge up to the nearest crease.

Flip the paper over, turn it upside down, and fold the bottom edge up to the topmost crease.

After that, continue folding to recreate the overlapping layers of the outer skin, and your origami bamboo shoot is complete.

Some children may only know bamboo shoots from picture books or as pieces in side dishes, so making one with origami might help them picture what a real one looks like.
