Gyoza mascot

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.
bear

I’ll show you how to fold a cute bear holding a heart message card.
Fold into a triangle twice to make crease lines.
Bring the corners to the center and fold upward, then fold upward diagonally.
Align the bottom corner with the starting fold, fold the corner, and fold the tip slightly.
Fold in any corners sticking out.
The head is complete.
Next, the body.
First, fold it using the boat fold.
Turn it sideways to the back, fold the top tip inward on a diagonal, and fold the corner just a little.
Fold inward and open diagonally.
Flip it over, fold the bottom part up to the center, then tuck the corners inward to shape the feet.
Finally, make the heart.
Make a crease by folding in half, fold the bottom edge up to the center, flip it over, fold in half to crease, then fold both bottom ends up to the center.
Turn it over and fold the bottom corner up to the top.
Turn it over again, open the bottom area with your fingers and squash-fold it.
Fold the square’s corners diagonally and fold the tips slightly.
Fold both sides to meet at the center, then fold the bottom corner up to the center once more, and you’re done!
Sanrio character(s)

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

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.
Rilakkuma

A costumed bear that appeared out of nowhere! Here are some ideas for Rilakkuma.
Did you know there’s a zipper on Rilakkuma’s back? It’s soothing, but also a bit mysterious—so let’s make Rilakkuma with origami this time! You’ll need yellow origami paper, brown origami paper, glue or double-sided tape, scissors, round-cut white pieces, and a black pen.
The key is layering different colors of origami paper, so take your time to get it just right.
Also, the balance of the facial expression is important!
