A mini bag that’s perfect for holding small items like stickers, or for decorating your room as an interior accent.
This is an origami craft with a charming look featuring a handle and ribbon that’s sure to delight.

You can choose not only simple solid colors but also your favorites, such as plaid patterns or ones with animals.
Finally, add the ribbon and handle pieces as decoration to finish.
Give this cute origami a try—fun for both kids and adults.
ribbon
Let’s make a cute ribbon out of origami.
Fold it in half to make a crease, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.
Next, fold it in half again along the center line, then fold it in half horizontally.
Fold the two corners of the crease inward, and tuck both corners inside.
On the opposite side, open the overlapping section outward and fold it, then fold all four corners inward.
Finally, squash the center and you’re done! There’s also a version with tails, so choose whichever you like.
Change the color and size to make a perfect accent for gifts or a decoration for your room.
Now, give it a try!
Jump paper kite
An origami paper octopus that looks cute when it hops as you press down from above.
It’s an origami idea made from two sheets of paper, split into an upper and lower part.
After unfolding the creased paper, use markers to draw facial expressions like eyes and a mouth.
Adding stickers or washi tape is also recommended.
By combining the two parts, you can create a three-dimensional octopus face and legs.
It’s a type of origami you can enjoy in many ways—make several pieces to decorate, or even race them.
Easy and cute Daruma origami
As we welcome the New Year, let’s make the perfect daruma for setting our goals.
First, crease the origami paper in half vertically and horizontally.
Fold along the creases to shape the outline of the daruma.
Since it’s a daruma, the key is to round the corners for a softer, curved shape.
For the body, decide the width while adjusting the overall balance.
Once you draw the daruma’s facial features—eyes, mustache, and eyebrows—it’s complete.
If you use different colors of origami paper, you can create various types of daruma; lining them up might look festive and be a lot of fun.
Cute winter fairy
Here’s an idea for making a little fairy using two sheets of origami paper.
The face takes 7 folds and the body takes 4 folds to complete! Let’s start with the face.
Place the paper with the white side up, fold it in half by matching the left and right corners, crease well, then open it.
Next, fold the top left and right edges in to meet the center crease.
Flip the paper over, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle, then fold it up again so the whole paper forms an isosceles triangle.
Flip it over, fold the bottom two corners inward, and the face is done.
For the body, follow the same steps up to making the creases and folding the left and right edges to the center.
From there, fold the bottom corner up to form an isosceles triangle, and the body is complete! Glue the parts together, then draw the face and hair to finish.
