Let’s make butterflies in different colors and sizes to create a spring scene! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

You can line up the corners perfectly, but slightly offsetting them adds character and is recommended.

Then fold one end up so that it extends well beyond the opposite edge, and you’re done.

If you like, decorate with pens or stickers.

One sheet of origami! How to fold a spinning top you can display and play with

[1 Sheet Origami] How to Fold a Spinning Top You Can Display and Play With | Origami: How to Make a Spinning Top

This is a spinning top you can make using steps similar to the classic crane.

Please prepare a toothpick-like twig for the handle and axle.

Prepare one sheet of origami, fold it into a triangle twice, then squash the pocketed part into a square.

Next, crease and change the shape into a diamond.

Up to this point, it’s the same as the crane, right? Turn a layer of the paper to change the face, then fold up the bottom corners on both sides to make the origami into a triangle.

Now that you should have four triangles on the sides, make a mountain fold along each triangle’s center line and collapse it sideways, flattening it so each triangle becomes half its size.

When it looks like a pinwheel, flip the origami over and fold the collapsed sections inward to create a spiral pattern.

Insert the toothpick-like twig into the center, and it’s complete.

Dandelion candy holder

[Origami Original] Dandelion: 1 sheet (leaf) Confectionery box / origami box / small accessory case

Here’s an origami idea for a cute candy holder inspired by dandelions.

It’s practical and perfect for small gifts.

Fold the paper into a triangle, divide it into three sections, then pull forward and fold to create leaf shapes.

Open the base into a square and pull along the diagonals to form a neat box shape—that’s the key.

Use a strip of masking tape wrapped around to represent the stem and bring the whole design together.

Handy for small snacks or trinkets.

It looks fun and is a recommended arrangement for everyone from kids to adults.

Easy-to-play! How to fold a spinning top

Spinning Top Origami Folding Method, Easy and Fun! Let’s Make an Origami Spinning Top

Here’s an easy and cool way to fold a spinning top.

Please prepare three sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half into a square twice.

Open it and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open it, fold it like a boat, then squash it into a square.

Using the center as the axis, fold up the edges of each of the four squares.

Open the folded sections and squash-fold them.

Use the remaining two sheets to fold the center and the top’s axle.

Align the center and the axle, and you’re done! If you make them in various sizes, they also make great decorations, so I recommend it.

How to fold a spinning top that also works as a push pop

Playable Origami: Easy Way to Make a Spinning Top from a Single Sheet – How to Make an Easy Origami Spinning Top

Five ideas for spinning tops you can make from a single sheet of origami paper are introduced.

The first is the base folding method that serves as the foundation for all the tops.

After performing a double “zabuton” fold, make creases by folding each of the four edges up to align with the edge of the top triangle.

Using those creases, stand the edges up and press in the center so the piece can spin like a top.

The other tops have the same overall shape, but by varying the folding method, they create different patterns inside the top.

These have no handle and spin when you give the rim a strong push, so even small children can enjoy them.

A spinning top with a helmet-like shape

It spins well! A spinning top made with 3 sheets of origami

An origami spinning top you can make and play with! Please prepare three sheets of your favorite origami paper.

The inside of the top and the handle can be made simply by repeating the “zabuton” fold.

The outer part adds helmet-like decorations along the edges, so the steps are a bit more detailed, but if you can fold a crane by yourself, you should be able to complete it without any problem.

In the end, you’ll assemble the parts you made to finish a single top.

Using different colors of origami paper for each part lets you enjoy the color effects when it spins.

Be sure to have fun with top battles, too!

How to fold a Pac-Pac Anpanman

How to make a simple Anpanman “pakupaku”

Here’s an idea to adapt the classic origami “fortune teller” into Anpanman.

First, do the blintz fold twice and complete the fortune teller.

Then paste a slightly smaller piece of red origami paper inside the fortune teller, fold it into a triangle twice to create an X-shaped crease.

Apply glue to the top and bottom two of the four triangles formed by the creases, fold it in half along the vertical center line, and press firmly to secure.

This creates Anpanman’s mouth.

Finally, round off the edges of the finger holes on the back, attach the facial parts, and you’re done!
