[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (141–150)
Angel Heart
Angel Hearts may look difficult at first glance, but the steps are surprisingly simple.
First, fold the origami paper twice to make a square.
After creasing, open it with the white side facing up.
Fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease, then flip it over and fold both bottom corners up to the center of the top edge to form triangles.
Leave the white section at the bottom as it will become the wings.
Turn the paper over and fold the top edge down about 1 centimeter.
Open the colored section in the center of the folded-down part and squash it into a triangle.
Fold the two top corners of the squashed section into triangles, and your heart is complete.
Finally, fold the corners of the wings you left earlier into triangles to finish.
Olaf
Olaf from the movie Frozen.
He’s a unique character whose carrot nose is his charm point.
Please make this modeled after the round Olaf that appears in the game LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, crease it, and open it.
Fold the two left edges to the crease, then turn the pointed end downward and fold up the bottom corner.
Using the edge of the triangle you just folded up as a guide, crease the bottom section from both sides as if standing it up.
Unfold the bottom corner, open it, and use the creases to squash it into an upside-down diamond shape.
Fold the top corner down to meet the tip of the diamond, then fold both top edges inward so the top rim aligns with the center line.
Fold the newly formed left and right corners inward to refine the shape, and make a step fold at the top corner to create the hair.
Flip the paper over, fold up the diamond section about halfway, and attach the legs made from a smaller piece of origami paper to the back.
You’re done.
Stick Santa
Here’s how to make a “Santa-stick” you can enjoy at Christmas.
Fold the origami paper in half into a triangle twice, matching the diagonals, then open it with the white side facing up.
Fold the left and right corners inward so their tips land slightly outside the center line.
Flip the paper over and fold it in half, matching the top and bottom corners.
Take one layer of the top corner and fold it down to meet the bottom edge; then fold it back along the crease and return the folded-down part to the top.
Slightly fold the bottom left and right corners to the back, and you’re done.
Use pens or stickers to draw the face and outfit, and finally attach a stick.
You can make the stick by rolling up a piece of origami that’s been folded into a triangle.
fairy
This fairy is made using two sheets of origami paper, creating the head and body separately.
We’ll start with the head: fold the paper into a triangle twice by matching the diagonals to make creases.
Open it with the colored side up, then fold the bottom corner up to meet the crease.
Fold the tip toward you by about 1 cm, then fold it up along the crease you just made.
This will be the face area, so make a stepped fold at the top, overlapping by about 1 cm.
The stepped section becomes the hat, so flip the paper over and fold both sides to the center line to form a triangle.
Tuck the part sticking out at the bottom inward, then fold the lower left and right corners into small triangles—this completes the head.
For the body, fold the paper into a square twice to form a smaller square, then squash the pockets to make two triangles.
Fold the left and right edges of the front triangle to the center line, then fold both side corners inward toward the center.
This creates the legs.
Finally, fold the left and right corners of the remaining back triangle into small triangles, then fold them along the inner edges to finish.
smartphone
Some children may admire the smartphones that adults use every day.
In that case, why not make one out of origami so they can feel like they’re using a smartphone themselves? Fold the origami paper in half and open it, then fold each of the facing edges in by about 5 mm, and fold them toward the center line.
Continue folding while making small cuts so it becomes a long, smartphone-like shape.
Attach a screen piece made from another sheet of origami paper, and it’s done.
Write the time on the screen or draw your favorite pictures to enjoy making your very own smartphone!
Shiba Inu
I will show you how to fold a cute cat-and-carnation card.
First, make a crease by folding into a triangle.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the corner along that line.
Align so that the folded corner is perpendicular, and fold the left and right edges up on a diagonal.
Turn it upside down, flip it over, fold the bottom corner up to the top, and fold in any excess.
Fold the bottom edge up slightly.
Fold the lower left and right edges up diagonally.
Slightly fold the corners and shape them into a cat’s face—this completes the face.
Next, the body.
Start with the “boat” fold.
Turn it sideways, then fold the top corners diagonally to form the arms.
Fold the lower part halfway up to the center, tuck the left and right sides inward to shape the legs, then fold up to the center once more and glue to secure.
For the flower, fold a triangle twice to make creases.
Fold both ends diagonally so they stick out just a little, then fold a small portion back.
Fold the folded section in half inward and fold back again.
Trim the tip into a carnation shape to finish.
For the grass, use the “balloon” fold.
With a corner at the bottom, fold the left and right of one layer to the center.
On the other layer, fold the left and right slightly on a diagonal.
Fold the bottom corner upward to finish.
Princess Tiara
Don’t most girls dream of being a princess at least once? And the tiaras that princesses wear on their heads are so cute that you end up wanting one yourself, right? So here are some origami tiara ideas.
You can make them with just one sheet of origami paper, and the steps aren’t very complicated.
Since you fold the front and back in exactly the same way, you’ll probably memorize it after a few tries.
If you use double-sided origami paper, it will look even cuter.
amulet
Amulets can be used in many ways—giving them as gifts to someone important before exams or matches, or making one for yourself to calm your mind.
So, why not try making an amulet themed on the popular “Sumikkogurashi” characters for girls? It’s easy for anyone to make: fold origami paper into a rectangle, attach a string with a bell in the center using tape, and then fold it into thirds.
Use the color of your favorite character and draw the face and patterns.
It’s also a great idea to change the text in the middle to suit the person you’re giving it to!
Sumikkogurashi ‘Bookmark’
Sumikkogurashi is super popular with everyone from preschoolers to elementary school kids! Here’s an origami idea for making Sumikkogurashi character bookmarks.
You can choose between two versions: one without ears and one with ears.
The folding steps are almost the same—the only difference is whether you fold the corners outward to make ears or fold them inward to round them off.
It’s easy for kids to try, so make your favorite character! Use pens to draw the face and patterns.
butterfly
This is a very cute butterfly made from a single sheet of origami, featuring gracefully curved wing lines.
With the colored side facing up, make a cross-shaped crease, then fold the two bottom corners up to meet at the center.
Flip it over, fold the bottom tip up to the center, and then fold the bottom corners up so they meet at the center as well.
Turn it over, open out the lower triangular section, then flip it back again and fold the bottom edge up to align perfectly with the top edge.
Continue folding while adding multiple creases at the top to refine the shape, and your butterfly is complete! Try displaying it on a wall together with origami flowers and other decorations.
