Let’s make a seashell out of origami that captures the feeling of summer.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the left and right corners in to meet the center line.

Fold those corners back outward, then fold the creases so they align with the center line.

Next, tuck the left and right corners up toward the center line so they go underneath the small triangle, and fold the tip of the small triangle slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner down to shape it like a shell, and you’re done.

Add patterns to make it cute!

Perfect for summer! A penguin folded with two sheets

[Summer Origami] Easy and Cute Penguin Folding / Animal Origami Origami Penguin

Here’s a penguin you can make from two sheets of origami paper, featuring an adorable plump shape.

Prepare one large sheet, one smaller sheet, scissors, and glue.

First, use the smaller sheet to make the penguin’s face.

After creasing along the diagonal, fold the left and right sides in along the vertical line.

Open it up once, then fold the corners along the crease lines.

When the overall shape is folded, round the corners to finish.

Use colored pens to draw the facial expression.

For the body, fold the large sheet into a triangle, then fold the base of the body along the center crease.

When making the wings, snip slits with scissors and fold along the crease lines.

The key is to leave a wide area for the belly.

Finally, glue the face and body together to complete your penguin.

Corn is in season in the summer, and it’s sweet and delicious, isn’t it? Here’s how to make a corn cob using two sheets of origami paper.

Stack green and yellow origami so the colors show, fold it into a triangle, and make a crease.

Fold both sides of the paper toward the center line.

Then partially open the folded corners outward halfway to create the corn husk.

Adjust the balance between the corn kernels and the husk, and you’re done.

Try drawing a face to make your own original summer corn!

For the body, fold the left and right sides of the origami diagonally, flip it over, then fold up the tip of the bottom section to finish.

Sunflower folded from a single sheet

[Origami] How to easily make a sunflower from a single sheet! A method kids can do too

Let me introduce a brightly shining summer sunflower.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and start making the creases.

Fold the corners toward the center along the central lines.

This is an important step to set the base of the origami.

Open it once, then use the crease lines to create the sunflower’s petals.

Flip it over, adjust the shape of the sunflower, round it out, and you’re done.

It’s also a great idea to draw a pattern in the center of the sunflower with a felt-tip pen.

Choosing your favorite colors of origami paper to make colorful sunflowers could be really cute, too.

How to fold a rhinoceros beetle origami for children aged 4 and up

[Origami] How to Fold a Rhinoceros Beetle [Yoshimoto Comedian span! Makoto]

Let’s fold a rhinoceros beetle, a big favorite among children.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.

Fold both sides toward the center line.

Then, fold toward the center line again, leaving a gap about the width of 3–4 toothpicks, and make a crease by folding the corner up toward the tip.

Following the creases, make step folds, and also fold the corners so the beetle’s shape becomes nicely rounded.

Once the shape is set, make a small cut with scissors on the beetle’s horn area and twist it to create a cool-looking horn.

When you’re done, display it on a wall or elsewhere and enjoy!

Open the paper and fold the four corners inward along the lines.

Turn the paper over, fold the corners, shape it into a morning glory, and you’re done.
