Accessories, Clothing, and Small Items (81–90)
Made entirely with origami! Triangular accessory case
Make it using only origami! Here’s an idea for a triangular trinket box.
It’s perfect for kids who are good at crafting with origami or for anyone who wants to use the origami paper they have at home to make something.
How about creating a little container to hold small items or parts? All you need to prepare are three sheets of origami paper.
Solid-colored paper works fine, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami can change the vibe and make it more fun!
Origami Ribbon Headband
Let’s make a ribbon headband using origami! First, cut the origami paper in half.
Stack the two pieces, fold them in half lengthwise to make a long rectangle, then unfold.
Fold the top and bottom edges in to meet the center crease, slide the pieces to extend the length, secure with tape, fold in half again to make it long and narrow, and glue it together.
The base is done! For the ribbon, stack two sheets of origami, cut off one quarter, then accordion-fold the remaining piece.
Tape the center and fan it out to form the ribbon shape.
Fold the cut-off strip into a long narrow piece and wrap it around the center together with the base.
Finally, punch holes in both ends of the base, thread a rubber band through, and your ribbon headband is complete!
apron dress
Let’s make an apron dress with cute balloon-like puffy sleeves.
You’ll fold it in two parts—the blouse and the skirt—so please prepare two sheets of origami paper.
For the blouse: fold the left and right sides toward the center, then fold them back outward slightly.
Create the collar at the bottom and the sleeves at the top, fold the piece in half, and tidy the shape by tucking the corners inward as needed.
For the skirt: fold the bottom corner up to meet the center, then fold the top corner down to align with the bottom edge, and fold it back up slightly.
Fold both ends of the folded-back section just a tiny bit inward, then fold the large top corner you folded down back to the other side—this completes the apron section.
Finally, sandwich the blouse into the skirt and adjust the skirt’s shape, and you’re done!
handbag
How about trying to make a handbag for girls who are interested in fashion? Prepare two types of origami—two sheets for the bag body and two sheets for the handles—and assemble them.
Fold the two sheets for the bag body almost the same way, then combine them at the end.
After that, glue on the origami handles, and it’s done.
It’s also fun to change the colors or patterns of the paper for the bag and the handles, or decorate with stickers.
You can put small items like candies or hairpins inside, so definitely make one and have fun playing with it!
Flower-shaped box
We’ll show you how to fold a flower-shaped box where you can keep your very own treasures.
Fold the origami paper in half, then fold it in half again and open it.
Fold all four corners toward the center, flip it over, and fold all four corners toward the center again.
Fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line, then open the top and bottom corners.
Next, fold the left and right edges to the center line and open them.
You’ll have lots of crease lines—use them to shape the paper into a three-dimensional box.
Once the square box is formed, open it once and create the petal sections.
When finished, a square box sits atop a flower, and it’s super cute.
Use it to hold your little treasures!
Flowers and seasonal motifs (1–10)
Bouquet message cardNEW!
A bouquet message card made of origami is a perfect idea for a birthday when you want to express your feelings.
First, fold the origami paper in half, then rotate it and fold it in half again.
Trim the lower left and right edges to shape it, then fold up to the creases in order to create the base of the bouquet.
Make a separate triangular piece to form a ribbon and attach it, then evenly glue on colorful petals to finish it off as a vibrant bouquet.
The key is to layer them little by little to create a three-dimensional effect.
Writing a name in the center adds a special touch.
Cute Randoseru CardNEW!
You can write a message on the inside of the flap and even put candy in the inner pocket! Here’s a perfect randoseru (school backpack) card for gifts.
You’ll make the body, the flap, and the shoulder straps.
Use 15 cm origami paper for the body and flap, and use a sheet that’s half of a half (1/2, then halved again) for the shoulder straps.
For the body, fold the bottom edge up to a point 3 cm from the top, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right edges to meet at the center line.
For the flap, fold the paper in half by overlapping the left and right sides, then fold both bottom corners into small triangles.
Tuck those triangles inward, insert the top part into the body, and finish assembling the backpack.
For the shoulder straps, just fold the origami in half and attach them!
A long-tailed tit backpackNEW!
The illustration of the long-tailed tit is such a cute idea! You can make this with a single sheet of origami, but after creasing it, cut off the parts to be used for the lid and the shoulder straps with scissors.
Assemble the remaining part into a box to form the body.
For the long-tailed tit on the lid, use a piece of origami cut to one-quarter size.
Fold one corner on the short edge to round it, then fold it up so the white side shows, and draw the eyes and wing patterns with a pen.
It’s such a wonderful piece that makes you think, “I wish there were actually school backpacks like this!”
clover
Would you like to try folding a four-leaf clover out of origami—the kind that brings happiness when you find one? First, please prepare a single sheet of origami paper.
As you proceed, some parts in the latter half get a bit tricky, but since it’s a four-leaf clover, you’ll often repeat the same folds four times, and it’s delightful to see the clover shape gradually take form.
After you finish, if the back bothers you, secure it with clear tape or glue.
Making them in various sizes and decorating a wall looks cute and is highly recommended, and giving them to friends will likely make them very happy!
snowman
Let’s fold an adorable snowman topped with a cute little hat! You can make both the hat and the snowman from a single sheet of origami paper.
You’ll draw the face at the end, so have a pen ready.
It’s fun to watch the square paper gradually turn rounder as you fold! Finish by folding inward to shape your ideal snowman.
Once you draw the face and buttons, it’s complete.
Making and displaying snowmen in different sizes and with a variety of expressions will look super cute!
