An easy way to fold a bamboo shootNEW!

[Origami] Easy Bamboo Shoot Tutorial – Spring Origami for March/April – An Easy Method Kids Can Make [Origami]

When warm days continue, bamboo shoots suddenly peek out from the soil.

They’re one of the vegetables familiar to children, too.

Let’s make a bamboo shoot out of origami! Fold a brown sheet of origami paper into a triangle, then fold the two adjacent sides along the crease.

Fold down the triangular section, and lift the pointed part on the opposite side upward.

Fold the corners on both sides inward to shape it like a bamboo shoot, and you’re done.

With few folding steps and very simple instructions, it looks like even preschoolers can enjoy making it.

A cute bush warbler you can carry on your back!NEW!

One Sheet of Origami [Bush Warbler] Origami Japanese nightingale (warbler)

Here’s an idea for a display where you can place another origami creation, like an animal, on its back.

First, fold the paper in half into a triangle twice, then open it once.

Fold both ends up toward the crease that formed in the center.

Next, turn it over and fold up the open section, then fold up the previously folded section in the same direction.

Open one of the parts you folded later to form a small square, then make a beak to create the bush warbler’s face.

Fold back the large flaring section and shape it to form the bush warbler’s belly.

Fold in the extra corners to make the wings, glue any parts that tend to open, and you’re done.

Add the bush warbler’s eyes with round stickers or by drawing them with a pen.

Place your other origami creations on the wing section!

Origami bee with cute heart-shaped wings!NEW!

Origami [Bee] Origami Bee

Let’s make a bee by creating and combining the head, body, and wings.

In this idea, the first step for all parts is to fold the origami into a triangle.

Be sure to align the corners carefully as you fold.

From there, transform each piece into its respective part.

For the antennae, open up the folded section from the inside and squash it; a thin tool like a cuticle stick or similar can be helpful.

For the body, fold so that the white side shows on the front like a collar.

Make the wings from white origami paper with a heart shape in mind, and attach them to the back of the body.

After adding the head, draw the face with a pen to finish!

How to fold a spring flower: violetNEW!

[Origami] How to Make a Spring Flower: Violet ☆ Spring Origami

Violets that bloom with cool purple flowers in vibrant spring.

Prepare one sheet each of green origami in the regular size, purple origami at one quarter of that size, and yellow origami at one quarter of the purple.

First, crease both the purple and yellow papers with diagonal “X” folds.

Then, glue the yellow paper to the center of the purple paper, aligning the creases.

Fold both along their creases into a square using a squash-fold style, then open the whole piece slightly while keeping a small fold at the center.

Create a small gap in the center to shape petal-like forms, and the violet flower is complete! For the green paper, add both diagonal and cross (plus-sign) creases, form a long, narrow diamond, and fold it so it spreads in three directions to create the stem and leaves.

Combine the parts to finish your violet.

Cute mini basketNEW!

DIY MINI PAPER BASKET / Origami Basket DIY / Paper Craft / Easy craft ideas / Paper Craft New

Let’s make a mini basket for small items using construction paper.

Prepare a 15 cm × 21 cm sheet, then fold it in half to make a small rectangle.

Open it after creasing, and fold the left and right edges to meet the center crease.

Next, fold all four corners into triangles.

The key is to fold them slightly away from the center line.

Aligning with the inner edges of the triangles, fold the left and right sides to make creases, then fold the top and bottom edges you first folded outward by about 1 cm.

Once folded, open it up from there to form a box shape.

Attach a handle and decorations, and it’s complete!
