Easy with just one sheet! Snowman
The charm of this origami is how easy it is—you can make a snowman with just one sheet of white paper.
There are many small, detailed folds, so try tackling it together with your child.
Each step is simple, but because it involves lots of precise finger work, staying focused is important.
As you go, guide them with prompts like “This part is next,” or demonstrate each step so they can work with confidence.
At the end, draw the face with a pen or add patterns, and each snowman will have its own unique expression.
When you line up the finished pieces for display, you can clearly see how different their expressions are—even though they’re all snowmen—making them even more fun to look at.
Snow Lease
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku_no_omamori/video/7453789827872394504The fluffy silhouette is so cute! Here’s an idea for a snow wreath.
You’ll need a paper plate, scissors, craft glue, cotton, paint, a paper snowman, and yarn.
First, cup the cotton in both hands and roll it to make small round pieces.
Next, cut out the inner part of the paper plate and apply craft glue around the rim.
Finally, attach the cotton rounds and hang the snowman in the center to finish! Coloring the cotton with paint changes the vibe and makes it fun.
Origami Mumps
Would you like to make an Otafuku, which is said to bring good fortune and stands in contrast to oni, considered symbols of malevolent energy? It’s a simple process and a kid-friendly idea! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to create creases, then unfold it back to the original shape.
Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the center to make a crease.
Unfold that corner, then fold the bottom corner again along the new crease, and use the top crease to make a wrapped fold.
Fold the right corner next to it in the same way to create Okame’s hair.
Finally, fold the remaining corners in toward the center to form Otafuku’s characteristic rounded outline—and you’re done.
How to make a fluffy, fuzzy snowman
Stick double-sided tape onto a strip-cut piece of white construction paper, then place cotton on top.
Roll it into a ring and secure it! Connect two of these, add a hat and facial features, and you’ll have a fluffy snowman! Since attaching the hat on top of the cotton is tricky, it’s best to glue it to the paper base before adding the cotton.
For the facial features, bend and twist pipe cleaners to make them.
Depending on the child who makes it, each snowman will have a different expression, resulting in a set of unique, characterful creations.
Heart-shaped woven basket
Let’s make a heart-shaped basket using soft, textured reversible crepe paper.
It’s a fun idea that lets you experience a bit of weaving! First, cut the parts from the reversible crepe paper: two pieces measuring 24 cm × 9 cm for the basket, one piece measuring 24 cm × 2 cm for the handle, and one piece measuring 24 cm × 1 cm for the decorative ribbon.
Fold each 24 cm × 9 cm piece in half so the two sides show different colors, then make cuts from the fold at widths of 3 cm and 1 cm, respectively.
Leave the top 3 cm uncut.
Weave the slits over and under alternately, layering them to create a lattice pattern and form the basket.
Once woven, round off the corners to shape it into a heart, attach the handle and ribbon, and you’re done.
Paper hanging ornaments
It’s a perfect idea for Setsubun wall decorations! In this idea, you’ll use strips of construction paper measuring 29 cm by 2 cm to make the decorations.
Here’s how to make them: roll the paper to create the ogre’s hair, and by creasing the paper and then gluing both ends together, you can form the ogre’s face.
If you fold it to make a triangle, you can also create the horns.
If you make an Okame mask along with the ogre, the piece will feel even more like Setsubun.
When hanging it on the wall, use the paper strip as the base and attach the ogre and Okame parts you made, along with washi-patterned origami as accents.
Origami for a Setsubun wreath
I want to use these for room decorations! Here’s a colorful and cute wreath idea.
You’ll need origami paper in various colors, pens or crayons, round stickers, and double-sided tape or glue if needed.
The key feature is a lovely design that combines parts for a blue oni, a red oni, and an Otafuku face.
You can enjoy adding personality through the expressions of the oni, so it’s highly recommended! In the video, the project is made with quarter-size origami paper, but it’s a good idea to adjust the paper size to suit the children’s growth and abilities.
