[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (61–70)
Unicorn Carousel
The idea of a carousel expressed with origami is characterized by a composition that combines unicorns and support pillars.
By adjusting their arrangement and height, the overall impression changes, making it fun to create while considering the balance of the whole piece.
The look also varies with color combinations and the way the legs are extended, allowing you to tune it to feel either elegant or lively.
As you gaze at the finished work, conversations like “I’d love to ride a carousel like this” naturally unfold, sparking the imagination.
It’s an idea that lets you enjoy not only the folding itself but also the process of combining elements into a single finished piece.
How to fold a unicorn finger puppet
The unicorn finger puppets made with origami paper, a pen, scissors, and glue combine the processes of folding, cutting, pasting, and drawing.
Since they’re finished in a shape that fits on your finger, their biggest appeal is that you can play with them right away after completion.
The horn is made by snipping with scissors and folding, and the facial expression is drawn with a pen.
The impression changes depending on how you draw the eyes and mouth, allowing each creator’s individuality to shine through.
Another feature is that you can move them as you play, and making several can lead to interactive play.
It’s an origami idea that lets you enjoy both the making process and the playtime.
Cut and make it! Cosmos flower origami
Let’s make a lively, three-dimensional, cute-looking cosmos flower that will brighten up any spot.
Prepare eight strips of paper.
It’s recommended to choose the colors you like.
For the petals, first glue the ends of each strip together.
Then, connect the glued sections of two petals and glue them again to form the petal shape.
Make four sets of connected petals in the same way.
Aligning them at the center, glue the petals together so their width and shape are even—this completes the base of the cosmos.
For the center, roll a narrow strip of construction paper with small slits cut into it.
The key is to build up thickness as you go.
Try using a variety of colors like yellow, green, and red.
How to fold cosmos flowers that even kids can make
Here’s an easy way to fold a cosmos flower that even small children can make.
Fold the origami paper in half horizontally, then fold the top and bottom edges along the crease.
Turn it vertically and make the same creases.
Open the left and right sides and fold them in to form the petals.
Cut off the four corners, then make slits in each section to create eight petals.
Stick a yellow round sticker in the center to finish.
Be careful when using scissors so you don’t cut your hands.
Try making lots in your favorite colors to brighten up your room.
For Kids! How to Fold a Lucky Charm
Chansey, with its cute round silhouette, helps Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center.
Prepare pink origami paper.
First, fold it in half vertically twice and open it to make crease lines.
Fold both ends toward the creases, then from the opposite direction fold only one side toward the center crease and open it.
Using the creases, shape it like a boat and turn it over.
Slightly fold the triangular part you’ve made on both the left and right at a slant, then flip it over again.
On the side where you didn’t make the boat fold, fold toward the center to make a crease, then fold again along that crease.
Trim the corners while forming the legs to complete Chansey’s body.
Make Chansey’s egg pocket with a smaller piece of origami paper.
Finally, draw the face to finish your Chansey!
Make it with a single sheet of origami! Ribbon Box
This is a cute ribbon-shaped box that lets you put items on both the left and right sides of the ribbon.
Using double-sided origami paper with colors or patterns on both sides is recommended! First, make three vertical creases and an X-shaped set of diagonal creases, then fold along the creases to form a triangle by tucking the paper inward.
After folding a small triangle at the non-opening corner, unfold the whole piece, and, keeping the small square formed in the center in mind, fold around it.
Since this small square becomes the center of the ribbon, spread out both sides so they form box-like compartments.
By carefully using the guiding creases as you open it up, you’ll end up with a neat ribbon shape! It might also be nice to make it with larger origami paper.
With a single sheet of origami! Three-dimensional planar cosmos
A three-dimensional, flat cosmos flower that’s perfect for messages or wall decor.
Prepare one sheet of origami.
Start by making a crease down the middle, then change the shape into a triangle or square as you go, adding creases along the center line.
If you make firm creases, it will fold smoothly when you tuck in the cosmos petals.
When forming the flower portion, fold each petal one by one, aligning the tip with the creases and adjusting the angle as you go to create a neat cosmos.
Finally, fold the corners to round the overall shape, and your cosmos is complete.
Give it a try!
