How to fold a two-color heart
Let’s make a larger heart that can be displayed on a wall using two colors of origami paper! First, align the top and bottom edges of the paper and make a crease mark by pressing only the left edge.
Unfold the paper, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the mark and make another crease in the same way.
Next, fold the top edge down to align with the second mark you made.
Fold both sheets the same way, and on just one of them, fold the left corner up to meet the crease made by folding the top edge.
Stack and combine the two sheets, then fold the corners to shape the heart.
candy
Candy wrapped in colorful paper is a popular motif among girls.
Its rounded shape is cute, and it’s used for all kinds of goods and items.
Prepare origami in your favorite colors and patterns—pink, yellow, polka dots, stripes, and more.
Let’s fold an easy candy motif with origami.
By changing the size of the paper, you can create candy motifs for various purposes.
Stick them on walls or windows to decorate your room, use them to embellish gifts—the possibilities are endless.
Of course, you can also write a message inside and use it as a letter.

Here’s an introduction to a three-dimensional tulip that’s perfect for spring origami crafts! Prepare one sheet of origami paper for the tulip flower, one sheet for the leaves and stem, and a bamboo skewer.
Since we want a 3D finish, shape the tulip flower so it puffs up like a balloon.
Cut the sheet for the leaves and stem in half, and use each half for the respective parts.
Use the bamboo skewer as the base for the stem by wrapping it with origami paper.
Make one long, large leaf.
Glue all the parts together to complete it! It’s also recommended to make several and arrange them as a bouquet.
heart
Why not try making a cute heart and gifting it to someone you love, like a parent or a friend? There are a few fine steps, but once you make it once, you’ll remember it right away.
Not only red and pink—making hearts in various colors and using them for decorations like wall hangings or mobiles is also recommended.
They’re perfect for decorating presents and message cards, too, so try folding lots of them in different sizes of origami paper! If you learn how to fold them and teach the people around you, those gentle feelings will spread far and wide.
back
Introducing an easy-to-make origami bag that can be used for a variety of events, such as birthday parties, Christmas, and Halloween.
Once you master how to make it, it’ll come in handy for all kinds of occasions.
Since it’s a bag shape, you can fill it with sweets or use it as a stationery holder.
If you attach seasonal motifs made from different paper or add store-bought stickers, you’ll have a colorful and fun bag.
The handle makes it very practical, too.
princess
A girl’s dream! Let’s make a cute princess in a dress out of origami.
Prepare one 15 cm square sheet, one sheet cut in half from a 15 cm square, and two pieces cut from one quarter of a 15 cm square that are further halved.
Use the 15 cm square for the dress, the half-cut piece for the hair and face, and the quarter-size halves for the dress’s shoulder parts and arms.
If you use patterned origami, it will look even more glamorous.
How about also making a castle and a prince to recreate a storybook world with origami?
shortcake
Here’s an introduction to a shortcake you can use for playing cake shop or house! The colored sponge layer, the white whipped cream, and even the strawberry can all be made from a single sheet of origami paper! The finished cake is a square shortcake, but with one extra step you can also make a triangular Mont Blanc.
For the whipped cream section, use wavy scissors to make cuts so it captures that drippy, fluffy cream look.
For the strawberry, just color it in at the end with a red pen or colored pencil.
Make lots and have fun playing with your friends!
wind chime
Let’s make wind chimes, a classic symbol of summer, to bring a cool breeze to the hot season! Prepare two sheets of origami paper.
Fold one sheet into a square twice, then cut it with scissors so that it forms a leaf-like shape.
When you unfold it, it will look like a flower with four petals.
Attach two strings there—one for hanging and one to connect the paper strip—and gently gather the petal-like parts toward the center to give it a three-dimensional shape.
Cut the second sheet of origami in half.
Fold one of those halves in two, place the string that’s connected to the top of the wind chime inside, and glue it together to finish! Have fun making it with chic Japanese-patterned origami or paper featuring your favorite characters.
Pochacco
Let’s make a cute character! Here are some ideas for Pochacco.
Speaking of “Pochacco,” he’s a long-loved Sanrio character.
With his big black ears and adorable beady eyes, Pochacco is irresistibly cute.
This time, let’s try making Pochacco with origami.
You’ll need one sheet of white origami paper, two quarter-size pieces of black origami paper, glue or double-sided tape, and a pen.
It’s fun how Pochacco’s expression changes depending on the angle of his ears, isn’t it?
penguin
Penguins are popular not only with girls, but also with children and adults.
Penguin-themed goods and picture books are also popular.
Let’s try folding an origami penguin.
Since it’s made from a single sheet of origami paper, the white back side is important too.
Start by making the crease lines, then fold.
Fold with the colored side facing up, and then flip it over.
The white side will become the beak and belly.
Color the beak yellow and draw the eyes to finish.
By changing the folding method, you can also make a penguin with its feet lifted, so try out different variations.
