[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (41–50)
With lid! Slim long box
Let’s make a handy, narrow box that can store snacks, pens, and more! Prepare one sheet of origami for the box and a smaller sheet for the lid.
We’ll fold each one into a box shape with one side open.
Using origami with your favorite patterns or characters will make the craft even more fun.
It’s useful for carrying small writing instruments, and it also works great as a gift box! You could make a few and use matching ones with your friends, too.
Perfect for small gifts! Gift wrappingNEW!
If you’re thinking that a birthday present might feel a bit plain when both the wrapping bag and its contents are store-bought, how about a handmade mini pouch made from origami? It’s the perfect little pouch for small chocolates or candies, so once you learn how to make it, you’ll find it handy in many situations.
All you need is origami paper and glue—even if you’re not confident with crafts, it’s OK! Using 15 cm × 15 cm origami paper yields a palm-sized pouch.
Since it’s made by layering the paper, it’s reasonably sturdy too, which is a nice bonus.
Cute for wrapping too! How to fold a ribbon
This is a stylish way to fold a ribbon for wrapping.
Fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then fold it twice more to make a square.
Crease along the folds, place the side that doesn’t open on top, and bend it slightly.
Open it up, then fold it again along the square formed in the center.
Fold a few centimeters inward from the edges and open it, then make five small cuts with scissors to shape it into a ribbon.
The three-dimensional form and the way the ribbon ends cross downward make it look just like the real thing.
It looks lovely on gifts and wrapping, so give it a try.
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.
A heart-shaped box made from a single sheet
Let’s make a cute heart-shaped trinket box that will make you want to fill it with sweets.
First, fold it into a triangle twice to make creases, then fold the top and bottom corners toward the center.
Fold the same way once more and make a wrap fold.
From here, add more creases and fold it into a heart shape.
Leave the left side as is and fold it toward the center to form the side.
When folding the right corner, shape it into a heart.
Make two and stack them to create a lidded trinket box!
Easy and cute cat box
Bringing out the corners to finish it as a round box is the key to giving it a cat-like look! Place the origami with the white side up and do a zabuton fold.
Flip the paper over, fold two opposite corners to the center, then roll-fold once more to crease and unfold.
Turn the paper over, fold all the center corners outward to form triangles.
Flip it over again, and use the creases you just made to stand up the edges.
Then fold the remaining corners inward to make a box.
Leave only one of the outer corners on either the right or left side unfolded to create the ears!
Foldable with a single sheet! How to fold a round tube
The bottom is octagonal, but viewed from directly above, it’s a cute box with a perfectly round rim.
First, place the color you want on the sides of the box on the back, and the color you want on the inside and rim on the front.
After folding the paper into thirds, fold the outer edge inward to align with the inner crease.
Repeat the same fold for the other three sides.
Make creases by folding in half vertically and horizontally.
Once you’ve added the finer creases, open it up and, using those creases as guides, fold all sides from the edges so the paper takes the shape of a box.
Finally, round the areas where two layers overlap firmly, and you’re done! Since the rim shows the front side of the paper, using double-sided origami will give the box an even more stylish look.
Cute in a row! How to fold a unicornNEW!
@omotyabox_origami I'm going to make a unicorn out of origami. #origamiToy box#omotyabako#origami

This origami idea is all about enjoying how it looks once it’s finished.
Making just one figure is charming, but lining up several highlights the differences in expressions and colors, creating a lively atmosphere.
The parts—such as horns, ears, and mane—are composed simply, giving a cohesive feel when displayed together.
Changing the color scheme alters the impression: focusing on soft hues creates unity, while scattering colors gives a pop finish.
Even with the same method, individuality emerges through the choice of expressions and colors, expanding the fun of comparing creations.
It’s an idea that’s enjoyable not only to make, but also to spend time displaying the pieces and showing them to each other.
Make it with two sheets of origami! Dreamy-cute unicornNEW!
@akane_origami I'm reposting because there were some issues. 😣 Sorry to those who liked or saved it. 😭Origami#origamiUnicorn#unicornyume-kawaii

A unicorn made with two sheets of origami paper looks extra cute when you use pastel colors.
The gentle hues match the unicorn’s aesthetic, and the finished figure seems as if it leapt straight out of a fantasy world.
The key step is making a slit with scissors and inserting the mane into it.
By inserting rather than gluing, you create depth and a sense of movement.
The mood changes dramatically depending on the color combination: soft tones give a fluffy, delicate feel, while strong contrasts result in a bold, eye-catching piece.
It’s an origami idea that lets you enjoy the making process and be satisfied with how it looks when finished.
Easy! How to fold PiNEW!
Pii, the pre-evolved form of Clefairy, is known for its star-like silhouette.
Start by folding a pink sheet of origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then fold both corners toward that crease.
Fold the paper in half from the opposite direction, and from the corners of the straight edge, fold each side past the center just a little.
Fold back a small part of the folded sections to make the ears.
Slightly fold up the side opposite the ears, turn it over to the front, and fold back the two ends and the top a little.
Flip it over again, make small cuts in the slightly folded section opposite the ears to form the legs.
Turn it back to the front, draw Pii’s face, and you’re done.
You’ll end up with a cute, pink, star-like shape!
