[Origami] She’ll love it if you fold these! Simple ideas for girls

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.

Sumikkogurashi

Sumikkogurashi, which features a variety of characters, is a heartwarming series known for its gentle expressions and rounded look.

This piece is about recreating those characters with origami.

The basic idea is to reduce sharp corners and shape the paper into a rounded form.

Choose the color of the origami paper to match the character you want to make.

Once the overall shape is done, draw the facial features with a pen—paying careful attention here is a key point for making the finished piece look beautiful.

An ehou-maki that makes you want to take a big bite

I tried stuffing it with my favorite fillings 🥰🫶#HandmadeToys#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIYPlaying housetranslation#ElementarySchoolMom#Kindergarten#KindergartenMom

You can even use it for pretend play! Why not try making an ehomaki that looks so real you’ll want to eat it? It’s super cute and looks just like the real thing! Cut a pool noodle and wrap black felt around the sides.

Take two circles of thick paper, glue white yarn onto them in a spiral to represent white rice, and attach them to the top and bottom of the pool noodle.

Then use felt and beads to make tuna, salmon, cucumber, salmon roe, and more.

Stick them on top of the “rice,” and you’re done!

Pudding charm

Everyone loves it! Let’s make a pudding charm inspired by that beloved treat.

For the base, use a clear cup for sweets deco from a 100-yen shop.

Mix brown paint into glue to mimic caramel and spread it on the bottom of the case, then pack in yellow yarn.

Draw the package design on thick paper, cut it into a circle, and attach it to the case.

Punch a hole and thread through charm hardware to finish.

You can also substitute brown yarn for the caramel section.

Handmade star wand

Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou

Many girls probably love wands, don’t they? You often see them in anime with magical-girl themes.

This time, I’ll introduce an idea for making a simple wand.

Thread ten 2 cm pieces of straw and five beads alternately onto a 30 cm chenille stem (pipe cleaner), then shape it into a star.

Twist the two ends of the stem together to secure it, trim any excess, then take a 15 cm chenille stem folded in half, hook it onto the star, and twist it into a single rod.

Slide on a straw and glue it in place to finish.

It might also look cute decorated with washi tape, etc.

paper cup hat

If you’re looking for a craft idea that can double as a decoration, how about making a paper cup hat? Cut off the rim of a paper cup, then leave about one-third from the bottom intact and make many vertical slits starting from the rim side.

Spread the slit sections outward, then weave them by folding them up diagonally from the rim side to form the brim of the hat.

Decorate it with your favorite ribbon and you’re done.

The color and pattern of the paper cup will become the hat’s design as-is, so choosing the cups is part of the fun, too.

Cute glasses with moles

[Craft] Super Easy and Cute Pipe Cleaner Glasses! Finished in 5 Minutes! How to Make Them [Straw]

Let’s make cute glasses using pipe cleaners and straws.

First, think about the shape of the glasses you want to make—try sketching it out.

Round, square, star-shaped—anything you like is fine.

Once you’ve decided on the shape, form it with the pipe cleaners.

A single pipe cleaner isn’t very sturdy, so twist two together into one before shaping.

After the frame is done, thread straws onto the parts that go over your ears, and you’re finished.

If you use the accordion section of the straw over your ears, the glasses are less likely to slip off.
