kamakura (snow hut/igloo)

Origami [Kamakura Frame] Origami Igloo Frame

I’ll show you how to fold a kamakura (igloo) frame! You’ll need five sheets of origami paper, glue, and clear tape.

First, fold one sheet into a triangle twice.

Open it once, then fold the left and right sides to the center crease, and open it again.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, fold that up again, then fold the left and right sides once more.

Make four of these parts.

Next, for the first part, fold the middle left and right edges diagonally toward both sides, open them with your fingers, and squash-fold them.

For the second part, squash-fold only the right side; for the third part, squash-fold only the left side.

Leave both sides open on the fourth part.

Connect all four parts by matching the corners, insert a contrasting colored sheet of origami inside, and you’re done!

[Origami] Ehomaki (Lucky Sushi Roll) – Easy 3D Tutorial for Setsubun | February Origami | Simple Folding Method Kids Can Make [Origami]

Perfect for Setsubun! Here’s an easy way to fold an Ehomaki that’s great for 4-year-olds.

Place the origami paper color-side down and fold it in half into a square to make a crease.

Make a small cut with scissors along one side of the crease, then fold the paper in half with the colored side facing out, and fold up the cut flap on one layer.

Slightly fold the four corners, as well as the corners of the folded-up part, diagonally.

Next, make the fillings.

Take four sheets of origami paper and fold each one in half twice to make long, narrow strips.

Stack the four strips with a slight offset and tape them together with cellophane tape.

Insert them into the white area of the first folded paper, like a piece of Ehomaki.

Glue them in place and shape the fillings, and you’re done!

fried chicken

[Easy Origami] Fried Chicken Drumstick [Origami] How to make Fried Chicken | Paper Folding Chicken | Christmas | Rooster | #shorts

When it comes to Christmas foods, many people think of fried chicken! This time, I’ll show you how to fold a drumstick-style fried chicken with origami.

First, fold the paper in half twice to make creases.

With the colored side facing up, fold one side twice to meet the front crease, then fold it up so that a white section shows.

Turn it over with the folded part at the top, and fold the left and right sides to the center line.

Next, fold the white section down along the center line, then fold it back up so that only the white part sticks out.

This will be the bone, so shape the colored part to look like the chicken by folding and adjusting it.

Finally, draw details with a pen, and you’re done!

Adorably round! The long-tailed tit known as the Shima-enaga, a wild bird native to Hokkaido.

Making the wings and tail seems like something you could enjoy while teaching and learning together with friends or teachers! It could be fun to give it a smiling expression, too.

If you display the finished pieces lined up on a branch, like real Shima-enaga keeping warm together, both kids and adults are sure to feel soothed.

If you make it with larger paper and cut out the eye areas, it can be used as an oni mask for bean-throwing, and it’s also fun to stick it on a paper cup to make a bean container.

Try making an oni face you can enjoy in many ways with a little creativity!
