[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (71–80)
bear
I’ll show you how to fold a cute bear holding a heart message card.
Fold into a triangle twice to make crease lines.
Bring the corners to the center and fold upward, then fold upward diagonally.
Align the bottom corner with the starting fold, fold the corner, and fold the tip slightly.
Fold in any corners sticking out.
The head is complete.
Next, the body.
First, fold it using the boat fold.
Turn it sideways to the back, fold the top tip inward on a diagonal, and fold the corner just a little.
Fold inward and open diagonally.
Flip it over, fold the bottom part up to the center, then tuck the corners inward to shape the feet.
Finally, make the heart.
Make a crease by folding in half, fold the bottom edge up to the center, flip it over, fold in half to crease, then fold both bottom ends up to the center.
Turn it over and fold the bottom corner up to the top.
Turn it over again, open the bottom area with your fingers and squash-fold it.
Fold the square’s corners diagonally and fold the tips slightly.
Fold both sides to meet at the center, then fold the bottom corner up to the center once more, and you’re done!
Sanrio character(s)
If she’s a girl, there’s a good chance she likes Sanrio characters.
Speaking of Sanrio, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and My Melody are especially famous.
This idea is about making those Sanrio characters with origami.
Basically, you just fold the paper by following the steps.
However, some characters may require using scissors, so if a child is making them, please work together with a guardian and proceed slowly to avoid injuries.
Flower papercut
Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.
Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.
Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.
The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.
Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.
Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.
Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.
Double star
Let’s make a cute and eye-catching double star! First, fold the origami paper in half, and on one of the halves, make an X-shaped crease.
From the side without the creases, fold toward the creases to form a long, narrow triangle shape.
Once folded, trim off the parts that stick out with scissors, then unfold the paper.
When you open it, it will be a pentagon.
Make the creases that go from the center to the corners valley folds, and the creases that go from the center to the edges mountain folds.
Next, add finer creases and open it up again.
Finally, fold while gradually lifting the creases formed in the center, and you’re done! Since there are many small steps, please try it together with a parent or teacher.
Heart with a ribbon
I’ll show you how to fold a cute heart with a ribbon using a single sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper using the balloon base.
With a corner pointing down, make a crease by folding up to the top edge, then collapse the left and right along the crease.
Squash-fold the top left and right corners along the top edge.
Fold up one layer of the triangular section.
Flip it over and fold the bottom edge up to the center.
Rotate 90 degrees, then squash-fold the upper left and right.
Tuck the single layer sticking out in the middle to the inside along the edge.
Fold each corner up to the nearest edge.
Flip it over and squash-fold the square section.
Fold the corners outward on a diagonal, then open the top sections with your fingers and shape them into ribbon loops to finish!
Heart candy wrapping
I’ll show you how to make a cute heart-shaped candy wrapper out of origami.
First, crease the paper in a cross pattern.
Fold the paper in half horizontally toward the center crease, then flip it over.
Pinch the corners and fold about one third of the paper into triangles toward the center, flip it over again, and align the edges to the center line.
Since there are many steps that involve flipping the paper, be mindful of its orientation as you fold.
Fold the whole piece in half, then shape the puffed triangular sections into a heart.
Once it’s done, cut a small slit at the bottom of the heart to make an opening, pop in a candy, and you’re finished! Give it a try!
paper flower cutting
All the spring flowers are here! How about enjoying some paper-cut flower crafts? This activity is perfect for children who have gotten good at using scissors.
By changing how you fold and cut, you can make all kinds of flowers like moss phlox, pansies, and fleabane.
It would be lovely to create the spring flowers the kids discover on a walk, too.
You can almost see their excitement as they work: “What happens if I cut here?” “What shape will it be when I open it?” Make lots of spring flowers and enjoy the feeling of the season!
