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.

Snow Fairy! How to Fold a Long-tailed Tit (Shima-enaga)

[Origami] Easy and Cute Animal: Long-tailed Tit Folding Method / Bird, Snow Fairy, Winter Decoration — Origami Long-tailed Tit

Let’s make a long-tailed tit using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold both corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the left and right corners inward to form a triangle, then rotate the paper to swap top and bottom.

Align with the top corners of the left and right triangles, and fold the two bottom corners outward to open them—these will be the wings.

Turn the paper over, squash-fold the triangular wings into squares, then fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner and change the wings to black.

Tuck in the left and right corners of the black section to refine the shape, and flip the paper over.

Round out the remaining white area in the center, and you’re done.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.
