Olaf

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

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.

Heart Medal

[Half-sheet Origami] Easy! Cute as a gift: How to fold a 'Heart Medal'
Heart Medal

How about making a heart-shaped medal as a gift for yourself for working hard, or for friends and parents? You can use an origami heart as it is, or make one from a rectangle folded in half.

Once you’ve folded the heart, attach a ribbon so it can be worn around the neck.

If you’re worried the folded parts might come undone, we recommend securing them with glue or tape.

Make medals in different colors and give them to lots of people!

smartphone

[Origami] How to Make a Smartphone (Sumikko Gurashi’s Tapioca)

Some children may admire the smartphones that adults use every day.

In that case, why not make one out of origami so they can feel like they’re using a smartphone themselves? Fold the origami paper in half and open it, then fold each of the facing edges in by about 5 mm, and fold them toward the center line.

Continue folding while making small cuts so it becomes a long, smartphone-like shape.

Attach a screen piece made from another sheet of origami paper, and it’s done.

Write the time on the screen or draw your favorite pictures to enjoy making your very own smartphone!
