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.
Give it a try!
Chiikawa
Are you familiar with Chiikawa, a character that’s popular on social media and the internet? It’s a cute yet slightly surreal anime character that’s become a favorite among girls.
This Chiikawa origami is a full-body version with both the face and body, so the finished piece looks quite authentic.
But it’s very easy to make.
Once you’ve made the face, use a pen to draw Chiikawa’s expression.
Try drawing a soft, gentle look.
Glue the face onto the body base, and you’re done.
It would surely make a delightful gift, too.
ribbon
It’s really handy to know how to make a simple, cute ribbon using origami or colored paper you have at home.
Once you master the folding method, you can change the size, color, and pattern to suit various purposes—that’s part of the charm.
Use fancier materials and it works great for gift wrapping, or make lots and decorate your room’s walls or windows.
Beyond origami, you can also use fabric to turn them into hair clips or elastic hair accessories.
If you know the basic method, you can use these cute ribbon folds in many situations—so be sure to learn them and give them a try!

Magic Flower
A dazzling magic flower made from six origami parts and sticks! Fold a square of origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it back to the halfway state and fold both corners up to meet the top point.
Next, open the flaps outward diagonally, return it to the halfway state again, fold the top point down to the center of the bottom edge, and fold it in half with a crisp crease.
Make six identical parts, stack and glue them together, then attach one stick to each of the outer parts.
Fan them out, and you’ll have a beautiful magic flower where the front and back colors appear as two layers of petals.
Star-shaped Pack’ncho
An evolved version of the classic finger chomp toy you can open and close with your fingers! Let’s make a star-shaped chomper.
First, fold it in half into a triangle twice and unfold, then fold it into a square twice and unfold to create crease lines.
Next, fold all four corners toward the center, flip the paper over, and fold the corners to the center again.
Open one of the folded flaps, then collapse the whole piece toward the center.
Finally, open and shape the finger pockets, and you’re done.
It’s a show-off-worthy creation once you make it, so give it a try!
Mini paper bag
How about a cute paper bag that can hold small items or sweets? First, start by folding it into a triangle twice to make creases.
There are some detailed steps, but don’t worry—just keep folding along the crease lines you make as you go.
In the final stage, when shaping it into a box, there’s a slightly tricky part where you tuck one end into a gap on the other side, so try doing it together with a parent or guardian.
Once you close the lid, the contents won’t spill, so it also works as a gift bag for parents or friends! Try making it with origami that has cute patterns or character designs.
With lid! Slim long box
Let’s make a handy, narrow box that can store snacks, pens, and more! Prepare one sheet of origami for the box and a smaller sheet for the lid.
We’ll fold each one into a box shape with one side open.
Using origami with your favorite patterns or characters will make the craft even more fun.
It’s useful for carrying small writing instruments, and it also works great as a gift box! You could make a few and use matching ones with your friends, too.
