Cute! Horsetail Origami

[Origami] How to Fold a 'Horsetail' <Yoshimoto Comedians>

Let’s make a cute horsetail (tsukushi) using 15×7.5 cm origami paper.

First, place the white side of the paper facing up and fold it into a square by bringing the top and bottom edges together.

Open it once the crease is made, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to the right and turn it over, then fold the top and bottom edges inward to make it into thirds.

Create the hakama (pleated trousers) look by making two step folds (valley–mountain) on the white section, then fold the top and bottom inward toward the center.

At this point, it’s easier if you squash-fold the right corner into a triangle.

Finally, fold all four corners of the brown section inward, and you’re done.

Red, yellow, green, brown… Autumn begins with colorful foliage and is a season to enjoy leaves in many shades.

So why not make fallen leaves with origami, too? They’re great for wall decorations and a handy idea to remember.

To prepare, fold the origami paper in half top to bottom to make a rectangle, place it with the fold at the bottom, then crease diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner and cut along the crease with scissors.

You’ll use the remaining triangular piece of origami paper.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the base to halve it, then repeat this same fold three more times.

Next, unfold the paper and refold it in an accordion (zigzag) pattern.

Fold the origami in half, bringing the left and right sides together, glue the inner layers, adjust the shape, and you’re done.

Cute in autumn! Foxes and raccoon dogs

Let’s make a fox and a tanuki using origami.

You can make the fox with just three folds and the tanuki with five folds.

This way, you can form the fox’s triangular face and ears at the same time.

For the tanuki, after folding the paper into a triangle, place it with the point facing up, then fold both corners diagonally upward toward the center.

Fold the top and bottom points inward to round out the face, and you’re done.

Finish by drawing the eyes and nose with a pen.
