[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (141–150)
Shiba Inu
I will show you how to fold a cute cat-and-carnation card.
First, make a crease by folding into a triangle.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the corner along that line.
Align so that the folded corner is perpendicular, and fold the left and right edges up on a diagonal.
Turn it upside down, flip it over, fold the bottom corner up to the top, and fold in any excess.
Fold the bottom edge up slightly.
Fold the lower left and right edges up diagonally.
Slightly fold the corners and shape them into a cat’s face—this completes the face.
Next, the body.
Start with the “boat” fold.
Turn it sideways, then fold the top corners diagonally to form the arms.
Fold the lower part halfway up to the center, tuck the left and right sides inward to shape the legs, then fold up to the center once more and glue to secure.
For the flower, fold a triangle twice to make creases.
Fold both ends diagonally so they stick out just a little, then fold a small portion back.
Fold the folded section in half inward and fold back again.
Trim the tip into a carnation shape to finish.
For the grass, use the “balloon” fold.
With a corner at the bottom, fold the left and right of one layer to the center.
On the other layer, fold the left and right slightly on a diagonal.
Fold the bottom corner upward to finish.
Princess Tiara
Don’t most girls dream of being a princess at least once? And the tiaras that princesses wear on their heads are so cute that you end up wanting one yourself, right? So here are some origami tiara ideas.
You can make them with just one sheet of origami paper, and the steps aren’t very complicated.
Since you fold the front and back in exactly the same way, you’ll probably memorize it after a few tries.
If you use double-sided origami paper, it will look even cuter.
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.
butterfly
This is a very cute butterfly made from a single sheet of origami, featuring gracefully curved wing lines.
With the colored side facing up, make a cross-shaped crease, then fold the two bottom corners up to meet at the center.
Flip it over, fold the bottom tip up to the center, and then fold the bottom corners up so they meet at the center as well.
Turn it over, open out the lower triangular section, then flip it back again and fold the bottom edge up to align perfectly with the top edge.
Continue folding while adding multiple creases at the top to refine the shape, and your butterfly is complete! Try displaying it on a wall together with origami flowers and other decorations.
