Origami Cat Ear Headband
Here’s an idea for making a cat-ear headband out of origami.
For the cat ears, use origami paper trimmed by about 3 cm to make it slightly smaller.
First, fold it in half and glue it, then fold it in half again.
Open it up, fold the top corners down to meet the bottom line, and then use the diagonal creases you made to fold the paper the other way.
Unfold the section you just folded, and attach pink, triangle-cut origami to the triangular areas.
Apply glue to the trapezoid in the center, fold along the center crease, and press to stick—your cat ear parts are done! Finally, fold a strip of paper into a long, narrow band, punch holes in both ends, thread rubber bands through, and attach the cat ears to this base to complete the headband.
soft serve ice cream
Let’s try making a cute little soft-serve ice cream perched on a cone with origami.
Use the triangular creases as guides to form the base edges, then glue the ends together to shape the cone into a diamond-like form.
Next, twist the portion that sticks out to shape the soft-serve, and the whole piece is complete.
Aim for a sturdy look for the cone by paying attention to the layers of paper, and a soft look for the cream by twisting it gently.
While soft-serve typically brings to mind a yellow or ocher cone with white cream, it’s also fun to change the colors to enjoy different impressions, or to line up a variety of colorful soft-serves as decorations.
croissant
We’re excited to share an idea for a “croissant” with a charmingly plump shape.
There are no complicated steps—just layered folds to create dimension—so it’s easy even for young children to make.
The finished piece looks so realistic and delicious that you’ll want to put it on display.
Change the color and you can play around with variations like chocolate croissants.
Folding together as a parent and child naturally creates a fun, shared moment, with smiles gently added to the creation.
Simple yet warm, this food-themed origami is a highly recommended project.
Frappuccino
The “Frappuccino” you can make from a single sheet of origami features a three-dimensional cup and softly puffed whipped cream.
The steps are simple, and as you fold the corners inward, it gradually takes on the shape of a real drink.
Finish by inserting a thin, rolled strip of origami as a straw to give it a more authentic look.
You can also draw patterns with a pen to customize it—chocolate-style, berry-style, and more.
It’s perfect for display and for pretend play.
Easy for small hands to make, this origami sweet is ideal for a fun parent-child crafting time.
Flower papercut
Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.
Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.
Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.
The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.
Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.
Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.
Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.
