If you want to give your room a party vibe, paper fans are a great choice.

Paper fans are fan-shaped decorations made of paper.

Just fold your favorite origami paper into an accordion-style triangle, combine the pieces into a circle, and you’re done.

Make several and hang them on the wall for a gorgeous look.

It’s fun to mix different colors, of course, and to decorate with paper fans of various sizes and unique designs!

This is an origami dog with cute floppy ears.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle and place it with the tip pointing toward you.

Fold down both end corners diagonally, then take only the top layer at the tip and fold it upward so that the back side of the triangle shows on the front.

Fold the remaining bottom layer back in the opposite direction, draw the eyes, nose, and mouth, and you’re done! Besides the method introduced here, there are many other ways to fold a dog.

Pick methods suited for children or try various patterns, and enjoy creating cute works.

A rabbit whose ear color you can enjoy

Try making an origami rabbit with distinctive ears! First, fold it into a triangle, then fold both side corners up to meet the top corner.

Turn the paper over and fold the top two layers down to meet the bottom corner.

Turn it over again and fold both side corners toward the center.

Fold the thin top section inward, angling it slightly outward.

This part is especially delicate, so adults should help.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet the center.

Turn it over and spread the ears to reveal the color.

Draw the face, and you’ll have a cute rabbit!

Let’s make a dove, a symbol of peace, with origami! Fold the paper into a triangle and place it with the point facing you.

Fold the bottom edge upward so that the tip sticks out past the base.

Lift the top layer and fold it back down, then fold the whole piece in half.

Use the small protruding triangle as the head, and fold the large triangle diagonally upward to form the wing.

Fold the tip of the face to make a small beak, and your flying dove is complete.

By offsetting the wings as you fold, you can create the look of flapping.

It’s also lovely to use origami in various colors and patterns and decorate them like a rainbow.

How about trying a Sumikko Gurashi cat with a cute round shape? First, fold the paper in half horizontally and vertically, then unfold.

Next, fold the top and bottom toward the center crease, and then fold the left and right sides to meet the center line.

After that, make diagonal folds both vertically and horizontally, fold the corners, and adjust for balance.

Flip it over, fold back the feet area, adjust the corners again, and the cat’s form is complete! Finally, use a black and white pen to draw the eyes, nose, whiskers, and hands, and use an orange pen to add patterns to the ears and body.

It’s nice that there aren’t any complicated steps, so even small children can do it.

This is Cinnamoroll, a Sanrio character you can make with a very simple folding method.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

Then fold it into a triangle once more and unfold it.

Fold the left and right corners diagonally downward to create the ears.

Open up the inside of each ear and squash-fold them, adjusting the corners.

Fold the bottom part of the face to the back, make small cuts with scissors to refine the face shape, and the form is complete.

Finally, draw the face with a pen—the key points are the clear, translucent blue eyes and the rosy red cheeks.

Enjoy making it together with your child like a fun drawing activity.
