[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (11–20)
flower bracelet
Try making an origami bracelet with a single flower! Fold the origami paper into a triangle and unfold it, then create the belt portion while leaving the triangular section intact.
Next, make a slit in the center of the remaining triangular part and shape it into a flower.
Fold in the corners to round them for an even cuter look.
Finally, stick a round sticker in the center of the flower, attach rubber bands to both ends of the belt to form a loop, and you’ll have a bracelet that’s sure to delight any child who loves cute things.
wallet
Let’s make a cute wallet you can use for pretend shopping! First, fold the origami paper in half.
Then fold it in half again to make a square and unfold it.
Fold both sides in toward the crease you just made, as if making new creases toward the center.
Next, make small triangular creases on both sides of the unopened end of the paper, then open those areas to form a house shape.
Turn it over, fold both sides toward the center, and fold the white parts on both sides into small triangles.
Do the same on the other side.
Finally, on both sides, fold the white parts toward the colored side—and you’re done!
princess dress
A girl’s dream: a colorful, fluffy, sparkling princess dress.
Why not try making, with origami, the kind of dress worn by princesses we admired in picture books, comics, and movies? It turns into a fully three-dimensional, authentic-looking dress, so once you finish, it would make a lovely gift.
You’ll create the bodice and the soft, voluminous skirt separately, each from its own sheet of origami paper.
You can make a dress inspired by a popular character, or fold your own original design using your favorite colors and patterns.
heart
Why not try making a cute heart and gifting it to someone you love, like a parent or a friend? There are a few fine steps, but once you make it once, you’ll remember it right away.
Not only red and pink—making hearts in various colors and using them for decorations like wall hangings or mobiles is also recommended.
They’re perfect for decorating presents and message cards, too, so try folding lots of them in different sizes of origami paper! If you learn how to fold them and teach the people around you, those gentle feelings will spread far and wide.
magic wand
I’ll show you how to make a magic stick that pops out an accordion fan with a quality you wouldn’t believe is made only from origami and colored paper.
It’s a magic stick that releases a realistic, full-fledged fan—so convincing you won’t believe it’s just paper.
When you push the rod up from the bottom, the accordion-style fan opens out in a circle.
Of course, it can be used as a toy, but it might also work as a simple handheld fan.
At first glance, the process looks complicated, but if you follow the steps, it will come together nicely.
If you give your finished creation as a gift, it’s sure to delight.
Push Pop Ring
Push Pop is a fidget toy where you press protruding bubbles for fun.
Let’s try folding that Push Pop into a ring shape! First, cut a sheet of origami paper in half, then fold each side toward the center.
Fold it in half vertically to make it smaller, and then create two small triangles near the center of the paper.
Next, fold both the front and back sides toward the center again to make a long, narrow strip, then spread out the narrow part so the center bulges outward.
Finally, trim the excess to fit your finger size, glue the ends together, and you’re done! You can enjoy popping it whenever you’ve got some free time.

Compact
A girl’s dream: a sparkly, cute compact for makeup.
Let’s make a cute compact motif with origami.
It’s a realistic bi-fold design complete with a mirror and puff.
It can be used for pretend play, so girls will love it.
Give it a try! Once you’ve prepared origami paper in your favorite color, start by folding the compact body.
The body can be made from a single sheet of origami.
After the body is done, make the mirror and puff from separate pieces of paper.
When everything is finished, stick on decorative stickers to the lid’s surface and the puff’s handle to complete it.
