Heart bracelet
Let’s make an origami bracelet with a heart motif that fits perfectly on your wrist.
Choose your favorite color of origami paper and start folding.
The color you choose will become the heart part, so pick a color you love.
The steps are very simple, so once you master them, you can even make these as gifts for friends or children.
You can adjust the belt size with tape, so you can tailor it to fit the recipient’s wrist perfectly.
Best of all, it only takes a single sheet of origami paper, making it an easy and casual craft.

How to fold a flat randoseruNEW!
Here’s an introduction to a flat backpack (randoseru) that you can cutely customize by writing messages or adding parts.
You’ll make three pieces: the flap, the body, and the shoulder straps.
Use two 15 cm origami sheets and one half-size sheet.
For the flap, first fold the top and bottom edges to the same width, then fold again along the center line, and fold the top-right and bottom-right corners into triangles to form the shape.
For the body, fold the top edge down to the same width as the flap, then fold the left and right edges to the back the same way.
Next, fold those left and right edges inward to meet the center line, and fold the bottom edge up to the same width as the top.
Fold the whole piece in half top to bottom, then fold back the top edge of the front layer to finish.
For the shoulder straps, just fold to make long, thin strips.
Combine all the parts to assemble your randoseru.
Origami ribbon with a heartNEW!
This is an adorable ribbon featuring a heart in the center.
It’s amazing that it’s made from just a single sheet of origami, isn’t it? Pick your favorite color or patterned paper and let’s get started! After cutting the origami paper in half, fold it lengthwise.
Unfold it and fold the sides along the crease.
Fold it in half vertically to start forming the ribbon shape.
Along the way, you’ll be able to create a heart in the center.
Some steps are a bit intricate, but you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment once it’s finished.
It also makes a wonderful gift for children or for women.
How to fold a cute heart-shaped box
Here’s an idea for making a heart-shaped box using two sheets of origami paper.
First, make precise creases, then form a three-dimensional square tube.
Once you have the tube, indent one pair of opposite sides on one end to create two triangles, and sink-fold the top corners of those triangles.
Make two of these and combine them to form a heart shape.
The creasing step is extremely important, so press the paper firmly with your fingers to set the folds well.
As long as the creases are clean, turning it into a tube won’t be difficult.
An easy and cute cosmos origamiNEW!
Let’s make a 3D origami cosmos that looks cute even arranged in a vase! Take a 7.5 cm square sheet of origami and fold it into a square twice and into a triangle once.
Fold the short edge along the long edge to make a crease as a guide.
Draw jagged, petal-like shapes and cut them out with scissors.
Add creases and small cuts so the eight petals become three-dimensional, then finish by making the center from yellow origami paper.
Create a stem with a bamboo skewer and green origami paper, and place your flower in a vase.
The great thing about origami cosmos is that they won’t wither and need no watering, so you can display them forever.
Try making them in your favorite colors to add a touch of floral brightness to your everyday life!
Easy with a single card! Pikachu & EeveeNEW!
Pikachu, a figure that could be called the very symbol of Pokémon! Get some yellow origami paper and let’s fold it.
First, fold it in half vertically to make a crease and open it, then fold both sides in toward that crease.
Next, fold it in half from the other direction to make a crease and open it, then fold only one side in toward that crease and open it again.
Using the creases you’ve made, form a boat-like shape.
On the side where you didn’t make the boat, fold a small section upward, and round off the outline’s corners to finish.
If you switch the origami color to a brown tone, it can become Eevee, too! Flip it to the front and use a pen or round stickers to draw Pikachu’s and Eevee’s faces.
How to fold a shortcake using a single sheet!NEW!
Some people may not be fond of sweets, but in general kids love them, right? And if there’s a king of sweets, it would probably be cake.
Let’s try making a cake out of origami and give it as a birthday present.
You’ll need 15 cm × 15 cm origami paper, scissors, and a red pen.
There are a few slightly tricky parts like the folding angles, but it’s at a level everyone can work through together.
The key point is the cream section you cut out with scissors.
Cut smoothly while imagining a curved line.
A long-tailed tit backpackNEW!
The illustration of the long-tailed tit is such a cute idea! You can make this with a single sheet of origami, but after creasing it, cut off the parts to be used for the lid and the shoulder straps with scissors.
Assemble the remaining part into a box to form the body.
For the long-tailed tit on the lid, use a piece of origami cut to one-quarter size.
Fold one corner on the short edge to round it, then fold it up so the white side shows, and draw the eyes and wing patterns with a pen.
It’s such a wonderful piece that makes you think, “I wish there were actually school backpacks like this!”
A school backpack made of paper packagingNEW!
You’ve probably seen snacks in plastic-free paper packages lately.
If your favorite package has switched to paper, why not use it to make a randoseru (Japanese school backpack)? From the package, cut out two squares, one half-size piece, and one quarter-size piece that’s then cut in half.
Use the square sheets to make the backpack body.
If you can fold the upper body of the traditional “yakko-san” model, you can finish this on your own.
Use the half-size piece for the flap, and use the remaining piece to make two shoulder straps.
Those just require folding in half and making narrow folds, so they’re easy!
Origami heart with a ribbonNEW!
A ribbon pops out of a heart! Here’s a very cute origami to try.
First, fold into a triangle twice to make creases, then squash along the creases.
Squash-fold the inner sections so they become triangles.
Fold all four corners up along the edges, then fold down both corners on one side.
Flip it over and shape it into a heart.
Turn it to the front and fold the two bottom corners diagonally outward so they stick out.
Open the top part into a pocket and adjust it into a ribbon shape, and you’re done! Writing a message and adding it as a gift will make it even more delightful.
