How to Fold a Flower with a Single Sheet

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Easy! Cute Flower ⑧ Folding Instructions Origami Flower ◇ Flower Wall Decoration Gift Birthday Mother’s Day Father’s Day ◇

A flower you can make with a single sheet of origami paper is a perfect idea for birthday decorations.

First, fold the paper toward the center to create creases all over.

Next, open the inside as you fold to shape it, and carefully fold to form triangles on the outside.

Then, fold while opening the inside further so the petals spread out softly.

Finally, lightly fold the edges of the paper and place a round sticker in the center to finish.

Pressing the creases firmly with your fingers helps the shape stay in place.

It also looks beautiful lined up in different colors, so it’s highly recommended.

clover

How to make a simple clover

Let’s try expressing clover—at its peak in April—using origami.

For this idea, you’ll use two sheets of green origami paper.

We’ll make a four-leaf clover: each sheet creates two leaves, and you’ll combine them to complete the piece.

Four-leaf clovers are considered lucky, so they’re perfect as a gift for someone close to you or as a decoration.

By the way, there’s also a way to fold a three-leaf clover, so if you’re interested, look it up.

You can even display it together with the four-leaf version.

cherry blossom petals

How to easily make cherry blossom petals from a single sheet of origami♪

When you think of spring, many people probably picture cherry blossoms.

So I’d like to introduce a way to fold cherry blossom petals.

In this idea, you fold a single sheet of origami and then make a few cuts with scissors to create a shape that looks like five petals joined together.

You can use them in many ways—stick them onto drawings, make wall decorations, and more.

Once you get the hang of it, you can make one in about two minutes, so I hope you’ll memorize the steps and make lots of them.

By the way, using washi-patterned origami gives the result a somewhat modern look.

ladybug

Origami 'Ladybug' [Easy] [Ages 3 and up] [Craft]

Here’s an idea for folding a ladybug, which you often see in spring.

Use red origami paper and let the white back side show to create the head.

Once the shape is done, stick on black round stickers to make the spots.

By the way, it’s also nice to fold flowers and greenery to go with the ladybug.

Try recreating a scene where it’s perched on a flower or plant.

If you glue cut-out grass onto construction paper and then attach the ladybug on top, it creates a nice atmosphere.

Incidentally, a ladybug with seven black spots is called a seven-spotted ladybug (in Japanese, “Nanahoshi Tentō”).

How to make a butterfly paper cutout

[Permanent Keeper’s Edition] How to cut butterflies: Origami and Kirie (paper cutting)

Butterflies made with kirigami are a recommended craft for younger children because they can learn folding and cutting at the same time.

You fold once, and the cutting is simply along the drawn line, making it easy to understand and helping them stay motivated while feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Fold the origami paper in half horizontally and draw half of a butterfly shape with a pencil.

Cut along the pencil line with scissors.

The curved parts can be tricky, so try cutting slowly and carefully.

Finally, open it up, adjust the shape, and it’s complete.

Let each child choose their favorite color and enjoy creating a flock of colorful butterflies.
