Cat message card
Here’s an idea for a cat-themed message card where you can write a short note and give it as a gift.
You only need one sheet of origami paper, so please prepare one with a white back side.
As long as you make firm creases at the beginning, the steps aren’t too difficult.
Fold carefully, following each step in order.
Once you’ve folded the cat, draw its face before writing your message.
You can use a pen, or you could use store-bought eye stickers—either way, it will look cute!
A flower with two-colored petals
This is a very cute flower with two-toned petals.
If you use double-sided origami paper, it will look even more gorgeous! The folding method is simple, and up to a certain point it follows the same steps as the “dahlia.” The way you make the petals is different, but since there’s no step where you open it with your fingers like the dahlia, this one might be easier for children to fold.
However, it’s important to fold precisely along the lines.
Once the petals are made, make slits with scissors, fold so the corners become rounded, and finish by sticking a round sticker in the center of the flower!
mini bag
A mini bag that’s perfect for holding small items like stickers, or for decorating your room as an interior accent.
This is an origami craft with a charming look featuring a handle and ribbon that’s sure to delight.
Fold the pocket parts from origami paper and glue them together, then attach the paper that will serve as the bag’s design over the top.
You can choose not only simple solid colors but also your favorites, such as plaid patterns or ones with animals.
Finally, add the ribbon and handle pieces as decoration to finish.
Give this cute origami a try—fun for both kids and adults.
hamster
I’ll show you how to fold a cute hamster using a single sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper in half into a square twice to make creases.
Make a small cut, about 5 mm, on one of the crease lines.
Fold along the cut diagonally, then fold the edge with the cut up to the center.
Flip it over and fold the left and right edges to the center crease.
Turn it sideways and fold the white side to the center to make a crease.
Match the top single layer of the edge to the center line, open it up, and squash-fold it.
Fold both protruding corners down, then fold the corner tips back up.
Fold down diagonally so that the corners stick out at the bottom, fold the tips slightly, and fold the left and right corners.
Next, with the colored side facing down, fold both corners to the center, then fold so that the corners stick out to the outside.
Fold the corners inward.
Draw the face with a pen, and you’re done!
Opanchu Usagi
“O-Panchu Usagi,” which became popular on social media, is loved by young people for its teary eyes and pink body wearing white underpants.
A wide variety of O-Panchu Usagi merchandise is available, too.
An origami version of O-Panchu Usagi would also delight girls.
Try folding the parts for the face, body, and underpants with origami paper.
It’s also fun to draw the distinctive facial features.
How about making O-Panchu Usagi with various expressions—smiling, crying, troubled, and more?
gum
Cut the origami paper in half and fold it while shaping it, and you’ll end up with a piece of gum that looks just like the real thing, wrapped in paper.
If you draw your favorite illustrations or designs on the wrapper with a pen, it gives it an original touch and makes it even more fun.
You can even make a special case from another sheet of origami, put the gum inside, and it will look just like the real deal! If you add a twist so that the inside turns into a notepad when you open the gum, you can play while writing notes or leaving messages, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults.
It’s an origami “sweet” you can make with simple materials, and with a little creativity, the ways to play expand dramatically.
chocolate
Line up little square chocolates made from origami inside a matching origami box, and you get an adorable piece that looks just like a gift.
Fill it not only with brown chocolates but also with pink, white, and yellow ones to make it visually vibrant and double the fun of making.
Each piece uses a simple folding method, so as you create them little by little, you can enjoy it with a collector’s mindset—that’s part of the charm.
It’s fun to display and to play with, and if you work on it together as a parent and child, it’ll feel like running your very own chocolate shop.
You can’t eat them, but these origami sweets are a delight to look at.
Best friends rabbits
The combination of hearts and rabbits is so cute! Here are some ideas for friendly rabbits.
You might have a chance to make rabbit crafts for the autumn moon-viewing event.
These heart-and-rabbit ideas are perfect for that.
It would also be lovely to layer this piece and stick it inside a full moon made from yellow origami.
Choose any colors you like for the origami.
Colored paper is great, but using white origami might be adorable too.
Be sure to give it a try!
Origami The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Let me show you how to make The Very Hungry Caterpillar with origami.
Prepare six sheets of origami paper and cut them into quarters.
Using the cut pieces, make two types of parts and combine them.
The folding methods are similar, but there are differences, so be careful about the orientation as you fold.
When assembling each part, interlock them so that the two types alternate.
The key is to combine them in order without mixing up the sequence or the parts.
Kids will be delighted when the caterpillar wiggles and squirms when you hold it!
Also works as a finger puppet! Shima-enaga
The long-tailed tit, known as the “snow fairy,” lives in Hokkaido.
Its plush-like round shape and beady eyes are truly adorable.
This is an origami piece inspired by that bird.
Amazingly, it can also be used as a finger puppet—an idea kids will love.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center.
Flip the paper top to bottom, then fold the left and right corners back to form the wings.
Fold down the top corner, which becomes the head, to round it out, and tuck the bottom triangle inward to finish.
Use a pen to draw the wing patterns and face as the final touch.
