How to fold a wristwatch

Wristwatch: Easy! Perfect for pretend play! Comes with easy-to-follow folding instructions! | Origami wristwatch

A wristwatch is an item that stylishly decorates your wrist and gives off a distinctly mature vibe, don’t you think? Let’s recreate such a wristwatch with origami, add character stickers, and make your own cute watch.

The folding method uses the creases made when folding into a triangle as guides, then folds it into a long, narrow strip.

Fold it firmly to make it sturdy, and use turn-backs so the reverse side’s pattern also shows.

In the center, imagine building a little box shape; once that part is done, stick your favorite sticker there and it’s complete.

You can show off your favorite motifs or characters, or, if you want to be more realistic, try drawing the watch face—highly recommended.

How to fold a Poké Ball (origami)

New Origami Monster Ball ⚡️ Origami Pokéball -NEW-

This is a Poké Ball that kids love.

First, place the red origami paper with the white side facing up and fold it in half horizontally.

Unfold it once, then fold the bottom edge up to the center.

Flip it over, fold the bottom edge up to the crease again, and make creases by folding the left and right sides toward the center before folding them to the center.

Fold the left and right sides outward to make creases, slightly fold back all four corners, and use scissors to cut a semicircle out of the middle of the red section.

Then draw the Poké Ball lines with a pen to finish.

You can also change the colors and use the same folding method to make a Great Ball or Ultra Ball, which is a nice touch.

How to fold a shuriken

A social worker clearly explains how to fold an origami ‘shuriken’ (throwing star)

Let’s make a shuriken that will spark children’s playful curiosity.

First, prepare two sheets of origami paper in different colors.

Fold both sheets in half vertically twice.

Make the parts so that each one is symmetrical.

For the first sheet, fold the upper right corner toward the left edge, then fold it further to the right.

Fold the lower left corner toward the right edge, then fold it further to the left.

For the second sheet, make the exact opposite.

Place the two parts in a cross so that their diamond-shaped sections align.

Finally, fold while tucking each of the four tips into the center of the other part, and you’re done.

You can also make it by cutting one sheet of origami in half.

It’s a perfect item to liven up kids’ ninja play!
