[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (111–120)
princess
A girl’s dream! Let’s make a cute princess in a dress out of origami.
Prepare one 15 cm square sheet, one sheet cut in half from a 15 cm square, and two pieces cut from one quarter of a 15 cm square that are further halved.
Use the 15 cm square for the dress, the half-cut piece for the hair and face, and the quarter-size halves for the dress’s shoulder parts and arms.
If you use patterned origami, it will look even more glamorous.
How about also making a castle and a prince to recreate a storybook world with origami?
shortcake

Here’s an introduction to a shortcake you can use for playing cake shop or house! The colored sponge layer, the white whipped cream, and even the strawberry can all be made from a single sheet of origami paper! The finished cake is a square shortcake, but with one extra step you can also make a triangular Mont Blanc.
For the whipped cream section, use wavy scissors to make cuts so it captures that drippy, fluffy cream look.
For the strawberry, just color it in at the end with a red pen or colored pencil.
Make lots and have fun playing with your friends!
wind chime

Let’s make wind chimes, a classic symbol of summer, to bring a cool breeze to the hot season! Prepare two sheets of origami paper.
Fold one sheet into a square twice, then cut it with scissors so that it forms a leaf-like shape.
When you unfold it, it will look like a flower with four petals.
Attach two strings there—one for hanging and one to connect the paper strip—and gently gather the petal-like parts toward the center to give it a three-dimensional shape.
Cut the second sheet of origami in half.
Fold one of those halves in two, place the string that’s connected to the top of the wind chime inside, and glue it together to finish! Have fun making it with chic Japanese-patterned origami or paper featuring your favorite characters.
Pochacco

Let’s make a cute character! Here are some ideas for Pochacco.
Speaking of “Pochacco,” he’s a long-loved Sanrio character.
With his big black ears and adorable beady eyes, Pochacco is irresistibly cute.
This time, let’s try making Pochacco with origami.
You’ll need one sheet of white origami paper, two quarter-size pieces of black origami paper, glue or double-sided tape, and a pen.
It’s fun how Pochacco’s expression changes depending on the angle of his ears, isn’t it?
penguin

Penguins are popular not only with girls, but also with children and adults.
Penguin-themed goods and picture books are also popular.
Let’s try folding an origami penguin.
Since it’s made from a single sheet of origami paper, the white back side is important too.
Start by making the crease lines, then fold.
Fold with the colored side facing up, and then flip it over.
The white side will become the beak and belly.
Color the beak yellow and draw the eyes to finish.
By changing the folding method, you can also make a penguin with its feet lifted, so try out different variations.
