Cute mittens origami

Nursery Ideas: Winter Origami — Easy Mitten Origami (Kids Can Make It Themselves!) · Origami Gloves Easy

Here’s an idea for making mitten gloves out of origami.

First, fold the paper in half twice to create a square and make crease lines.

Place the paper with the colored side up, then fold the bottom edge up to align with the central crease.

Fold the left corner of the folded-up section downward to form a triangle, then unfold the bottom edge once and make a roll fold along the crease.

Turn the paper over, and fold the left and right edges diagonally so they align just outside the center line.

Next, fold the top left and right corners toward the center line.

Finally, fold down the top corner to finish.

When making the second mitten, reverse which corner you fold into a triangle so you get the opposite hand.

Great for scissor practice too! A three-dimensional star

[Christmas] Surprisingly easy! Make a 3D star with origami ⭐️ Perfect as a Christmas tree ornament too #Xmas #shorts #star

This is a method for making a three-dimensional star by cutting slits into a pentagon-shaped sheet of construction paper and using folds to add dimension.

First, turn a square sheet of construction paper into a pentagon.

Fold the paper in half horizontally to make a rectangle, then fold the two left corners down to meet the top and bottom edges to create triangular folds and make crease lines.

Once you have an X-shaped set of creases, fold the right half of the bottom edge up along the line at the lower right.

Flip the paper over, and use the creases to fold up the remaining section of the bottom edge.

Fold the paper in half so the left and right shapes overlap, then cut the top at a diagonal.

When you unfold it, the paper will be a pentagon.

Make slits along all the creases except the diagonal ones, and fold to form a star shape—done! Add a string to turn it into an ornament.

Let’s make oden out of origami, with three items—konnyaku, daikon, and chikuwa—skewered on a stick.

First, fold a gray sheet of origami paper twice to make a small triangle, draw a pattern, and you’ll have the konnyaku.

Next, fold a yellow sheet using the “cushion fold,” then fold all four corners inward to round it out; draw a cross-shaped slit to finish the daikon.

For the chikuwa, draw a pattern on brown origami paper and roll it into a tube shape.

Finally, fold another sheet into a long, thin skewer and attach the three pieces you made.
