[Children’s Day Origami] Easy! Cute Kintaro Folding Instructions / Origami Koinobori

Kintaro

On Children’s Day in May, many households display Kintaro dolls.

They are put up with the wish that children will grow up kind and lively like Kintaro.

So for a May origami craft, let’s try folding Kintaro.

If you fold the face, hair, and body with separate sheets of origami paper, you can create a piece that looks just like the real Kintaro.

The folds aren’t very complicated and are simple enough that older adults may also find this project easy to do.

Adding an origami carp streamer to the finished piece or mounting it on a backing board for display will make it look wonderful.

Crane memo holder

Let’s make a Respect-for-the-Aged Day gift with origami! [With audio commentary] A message gift for Grandpa and Grandma: a crane memo holder.

Crane memo holder

How about a crane memo holder as a gift for someone special? Cranes are considered a symbol of longevity, making them perfect for celebrating elderly loved ones.

We all want the people we care about to stay healthy forever.

Words that are hard to say in everyday life can be gently conveyed by adding a note to the crane memo stand.

Also, the folding method for the crane doesn’t require many intricate steps, so it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident with origami.

It would likely be a hit if you quietly placed one on the table for Respect for the Aged Day or at a birthday celebration.
