fly agaric

Here’s an idea for making a fly agaric mushroom that captures its distinctive features.
You will need red origami paper and white round stickers.
The fly agaric is a mushroom characterized by its red cap with white spots and it grows on the ground in broadleaf forests.
Although it looks attractive, it is poisonous, so be careful not to touch it carelessly if you see one.
Use the red origami paper to make the cap and add spots with the white round stickers.

Full Moon Rabbit

Here’s a way to make a full moon and a rabbit from a single sheet of origami paper.
Start with yellow origami paper, color side facing in, and begin with the double-layer boat base, stopping when only one side is folded into a boat.
Fold the left and right corners of the boat section upward, leaving a small gap at the center line.
Next, fold the left and right corners diagonally inward, then tuck in the top corner to shape the rabbit’s ears.
Use scissors to make slits on the top layer on both sides; then make small cuts at the lower part of the rabbit so the bottom becomes rectangular, and continue folding to refine the shape of the rabbit’s face.
Fold the rabbit so it sits on top of the yellow paper.
For the yellow moon, tuck in the corners to round it into a circle, and you’re done! Feel free to draw the face as you like.
A self-supporting mushroom

The step where you open the origami’s pocket and fold it is a bit tricky, but it’s an important point! Since these standing mushrooms can be placed anywhere, they’ll make your room look cute and lively.
Fold origami in colors and patterns you love and make mushrooms that match your space! It also sounds fun to decorate them with pens or stickers.
