A long-tailed tit that can stand up or be displayed as a decoration
In winter, the long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga) becomes covered in pure white feathers, transforming into a plump and adorable figure.
Using a single sheet of black origami, you can make a stand-up type Shima-enaga—let’s give it a try! First, crease diagonally and vertically to make an X.
Fold it into a square as if tucking everything inward so it becomes about one-quarter of the original size.
On one side, fold in the surrounding paper so that the surface turns black.
Also make a tail on the black side so it can stand.
After folding in half, create a long, thin crease to mark the boundary between the face and the body.
Fold back the bottom and both ends of the white side to form the wings and feet, and you’re done! Draw the Shima-enaga’s face with a pen or add stickers to complete it.
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.
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.
