👐 DIY 👐 Stuffed Dumpling Squishy 🥟🤏 | Stress-Relief Toy Mechanism Card Craft | Dumpling Folding Methods | Toy Origami Tutorial | Paper DIY Dumpling Squishy | Origami Dumplings | Gift Ideas

Here’s how to fold a cute dumpling mascot! You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, some cotton, and glue.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Fold one corner along the front crease, then fold it once more along the new crease.

Repeat the same for the remaining corners.

Tuck the top edge into the top edge, and starting from the left end, accordion-fold it while imagining dumpling pleats.

Open it once, put cotton inside, and glue the edges to finish! Drawing a face on the dumpling makes it extra cute.

You can also skip the cotton, write a message inside, and add it to a gift—highly recommended.

Sanrio character(s)

Mel’s Sanrio Cute Memory Song

If she’s a girl, there’s a good chance she likes Sanrio characters.

Speaking of Sanrio, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and My Melody are especially famous.

This idea is about making those Sanrio characters with origami.

Basically, you just fold the paper by following the steps.

However, some characters may require using scissors, so if a child is making them, please work together with a guardian and proceed slowly to avoid injuries.

panda

[Origami] Easy and Cute Panda Folding / Mother’s Day Heart Message Card Gift Animal

It has a cute look—a panda holding a big heart—that seems perfect for mascots or gifts.

You fold the panda’s face, body, and the heart as three separate parts, then combine them to create this shape.

Because the parts are assembled separately, the heart can be removed, so it’s also great for writing a message later.

Another nice point is that you can really add personality with what you draw afterward, such as the message on the heart or the panda’s facial expression.

Also works as a finger puppet! Shima-enaga

[Easy Origami] How to Make a Long-tailed Tit

The long-tailed tit, known as the “snow fairy,” lives in Hokkaido.

Its plush-like round shape and beady eyes are truly adorable.

This is an origami piece inspired by that bird.

Amazingly, it can also be used as a finger puppet—an idea kids will love.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center.

Flip the paper top to bottom, then fold the left and right corners back to form the wings.

Fold down the top corner, which becomes the head, to round it out, and tuck the bottom triangle inward to finish.

Use a pen to draw the wing patterns and face as the final touch.

Origami Cat Ear Headband

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a Perfect Cat Ear Headband for Kids’ Costumes (with Audio Guide) ☆ Origami Cat Tiara Tutorial

Here’s an idea for making a cat-ear headband out of origami.

For the cat ears, use origami paper trimmed by about 3 cm to make it slightly smaller.

First, fold it in half and glue it, then fold it in half again.

Open it up, fold the top corners down to meet the bottom line, and then use the diagonal creases you made to fold the paper the other way.

Unfold the section you just folded, and attach pink, triangle-cut origami to the triangular areas.

Apply glue to the trapezoid in the center, fold along the center crease, and press to stick—your cat ear parts are done! Finally, fold a strip of paper into a long, narrow band, punch holes in both ends, thread rubber bands through, and attach the cat ears to this base to complete the headband.
