A tulip you can stand up and display! A three-dimensional tulipNEW!

Origami/Tulip | Enjoyable Easy Origami “Tulip Origami | Easy Craft”

Here’s a cute tulip idea you can display on a tabletop rather than on a wall.

For the flower, fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle twice, then squash the pocket into a square.

Fold the left and right corners inward to form the tulip shape.

Before spreading the flower open from the center, make a small cut at the bottom with scissors so you can insert the stem later.

The leaf and stem are made from a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold it into a triangle once.

Open it after creasing, then fold the two left edges to the crease line twice, and the right edge once to the crease line.

This way, the stem will be on the left and the leaf on the right.

Finally, fold the stem and leaf together in half, and insert the stem into the flower to finish.

pill bug

origami sow bug (pill bug) — Japanese Origami sowbug

Pill bugs are popular with kids! Here’s an idea for making one with origami.

What you’ll need: gray or black origami paper, white round stickers, and a black pen.

Pill bugs like damp places, such as under stones or fallen leaves.

They’re probably quite familiar to children, aren’t they? The key folding point is the zigzag accordion fold, shifting the paper slightly as you go.

It helps to imagine the shape of a pill bug as you make it.

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip

From a diamond shape to a tulip! This is a fun origami idea with a neat transformation.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the two top layers into triangles and tuck them inside.

Fold the left and right corners the same way.

Next, fold both sides up along the center line to make a diamond shape, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right corners to meet the center line.

Fold the inside of those corners to the center line to create three petals.

Finally, combine it with a stem and leaves made from green origami paper.

You’ll have a poised, beautiful tulip.

Even little kids can fold it! Cute tulip

[Easy Origami] Even small kids can fold it! Cute♡ Tulip | Origami Tulip

Tulips are perfect for spring message cards and wall displays.

The method is simple, making it great for children’s fine motor practice.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and fold them separately for the flower and the leaves.

For the flower, fold the paper in half into a triangle, then hold the left and right corners and fold them up diagonally.

Flip the paper over, fold the tip to round it off, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then fold the tip toward the center.

When shaping the leaves, watch the balance and make them even.

It’s also a great idea to glue the finished leaves and flower together and add a message.

Give it a try!

A three-dimensional cherry blossom made from a single sheet of origami

[Origami] How to Fold a Cherry Blossom 🌸 3D effect with one sheet of origami! ~How to fold cherry blossoms~

Let’s make a three-dimensional cherry blossom using just one sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half and crease an X on one side.

From the side without creases, fold toward the center of the X, then fold that side in half.

From the side with the creases, fold up to the edge of the section you just folded, then fold it outward in half from there.

When you have a shape like an irregular triangle, draw a petal-like outline of a cherry blossom, cut along that line, and unfold.

Following the creases on the flower, refold it into an accordion shape, then on both the front and back, make narrow creases from the left and right edges.

Using these creases as axes, unfold the flower again to complete a three-dimensional cherry blossom!

Fluttering butterfly 🦋➰ #easyorigami #artofpaperfolding #origami #simpleorigami #Japaneseorigami #diykids #origami #butterfly

Let’s make and play! Here’s an idea for a fluttering butterfly.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color.

Crafts you can play with after making are always popular with kids.

Unlike a paper airplane, this butterfly twirls and flutters as it flies, which is really charming.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, but it seems there’s a trick to getting it to fly well.

Try adjusting the angle of the wings as you fly the butterfly.

Give it a try—make one and have fun!

Sakura petal made of origami

Easy Origami [Cherry Blossom Petal] How to fold an origami cherry blossom petal.

Let’s make cherry blossom petals that look a bit like hearts, with a cute three-dimensional feel.

After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice, fold the tip inward along the center line.

Flatten the upper part to shape it into a petal.

Cut the center area while leaving the edges intact, then overlap one side over the corner-folded side, and overlap the other side to create depth; glue them together to finish.

If you make lots of petals and everyone assembles them into a big cherry blossom tree, the project will feel richer and more fun.
