A long-tailed tit that can stand up or be displayed as a decoration

Can stand up or be displayed! How to fold a Long-tailed Tit (Shima-enaga) with a single sheet of origami | How to fold an Origami Long-tailed Tit.

In winter, the long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga) becomes covered in pure white feathers, transforming into a plump and adorable figure.

Using a single sheet of black origami, you can make a stand-up type Shima-enaga—let’s give it a try! First, crease diagonally and vertically to make an X.

Fold it into a square as if tucking everything inward so it becomes about one-quarter of the original size.

On one side, fold in the surrounding paper so that the surface turns black.

Also make a tail on the black side so it can stand.

After folding in half, create a long, thin crease to mark the boundary between the face and the body.

Fold back the bottom and both ends of the white side to form the wings and feet, and you’re done! Draw the Shima-enaga’s face with a pen or add stickers to complete it.

Adorably round! The long-tailed tit known as the Shima-enaga, a wild bird native to Hokkaido.

In recent years, we often see goods and items featuring its cute appearance as a motif.

Here’s an idea to make a Shima-enaga using a single sheet of origami paper, plus a pen and glue.

Once you’ve folded the creases, the base is done.

Making the wings and tail seems like something you could enjoy while teaching and learning together with friends or teachers! It could be fun to give it a smiling expression, too.

If you display the finished pieces lined up on a branch, like real Shima-enaga keeping warm together, both kids and adults are sure to feel soothed.
