Easy! How to fold Anpanman

[Origami] How to fold Anpanman – origami. How to fold Anpanman. –

Let’s make Anpanman, a character hugely popular with children, using origami.

Fold the paper in half to make a crease.

Open it up, bring the bottom-right corner to the center line and fold it diagonally, then rotate counterclockwise and position the corners to shape the face.

While checking the overall face size, fold the corners to round it out and keep the balance.

Once you glue on the parts—the nose, cheeks, and mouth—your Anpanman is complete.

You can easily make Anpanman with a single sheet of origami, so try making it together with your child and have fun!

Easy! How to fold Kaba-kun (the hippo)

[Anpanman Origami] How to Fold Kaba-o-kun

Introducing an origami idea for Mr.

Hippo that brilliantly recreates his distinctive outline! Before you start folding in earnest, first fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases.

Once the creases are set, fold the left and right corners to the center point, flip the paper over, and fold it in half by matching the top and bottom.

Next, fold both left and right edges together toward the center line, then open the bottom into a triangle and flatten it.

After that, fold down the back layer along the base of the triangle.

Use the folded-down section to form the nose and mouth, and use the upper part you flattened into a triangle to create the top of the face and the ears.

The steps are simple, but there are more folds than you might expect, so proceed carefully and finish it with care.

How to fold Shokupanman

[Origami] How to fold “Shokupanman” <Yoshimoto comedians>

Dokin-chan’s crush! This is an origami model of Shokupanman.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, then open it.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the center crease to make additional creases.

Fold the upper left and right corners toward the center to create diagonal creases, then refold the corners along those diagonal lines.

Next, fold the bottom edge up to the lowest crease.

Then fold the left and right edges to the central vertical crease.

Open up the slanted sections and squash-fold them to form Shokupanman’s shape.

Finally, fold the left and right corners into small triangles to finish.

How to fold Dadandan No. 2

[Origami] How to Fold Dadan-Dan No. 2 [Anpanman]

Dadan-dan has No.

1 and No.

2, and this is No.

2, the one with four antennas on its head.

First, fold the left and right edges of the origami together in half, make a crease, and open it.

Next, while aligning the lower-left corner with this crease, fold so that the right corner becomes sharp.

Then fold the lower-right corner up to meet the folded left corner, and also fold the right edge to align with the first crease you made.

In the end, fold all the corners and edges inward to form a hexagon, and create the antennas by making cuts with scissors.

The antenna folding itself is simple, but the positions of the cuts are fixed, so be careful not to make a mistake as you proceed.

How to fold Dokin-chan

[Origami] How to make “Dokin-chan” <Yoshimoto Comedian>

Let’s make a cute Dokin-chan with orange origami! Fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then rotate it so the crease is vertical.

Fold the top two edges to the crease to make additional creases, open it up, and fold the lower parts of the left and right corners to the creases you just made.

Fold along the diagonal creases and return it to shape, then flip the paper over and fold the bottom corner up.

Fold it up just enough so a little bit of orange shows on the left and right.

Fold the top corner of the folded-up section down to create Dokin-chan’s facial pattern, then flip the paper over and fold the lower left and right corners inward to refine the outline.

Next, make a stepped fold on the top corner, and narrow the left and right edges toward the center line while flattening the stepped section into a triangle to complete the horn! Make two slits on each side, then round off the horn’s tip to finish.

Fold the whole body! How to fold Anpanman

[Origami] Anpanman Origami Anpanman

Here’s a helpful idea when you want to make not just the face but the body too! We’ll create it in separate parts: face, nose, torso, cape, arms and legs, plus the decorative belt and face emblem.

The steps for the face and torso are the same up to a point, so it’s a good idea to fold them in parallel.

For the nose, limbs, and decorations, use smaller 7.5 cm origami paper, so please prepare 15 cm sheets cut into quarters.

Once all the parts are done, combine them to finish.

There’s a section on the cape for attaching the head, so after gluing, you won’t have to worry about the head tipping backward from its weight!

About 1 cm below the folded top edge, fold both left and right corners into triangles, then fold the bottom edge up to align with those points.

Next, fold the bottom corner into a triangle, fold the left and right edges inward, and then fold them back outward to create the curry-bun shape.

Finally, fold the top and bottom corners into small triangles to round them off, and you’re done!
