Cute Origami Ideas for Girls

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

We’ve gathered origami ideas for girls.

From items you can use for doll play and pretend shops to animals and characters girls love, cute letters, and fun toys you can play with—we’ll introduce lots of ideas that girls will enjoy!

If you’re looking for easy origami kids can make or ideas you can make for your child, please use this as a reference.

Origami is said to be great for early childhood development, so keep trying new things.

[Easy Origami] How to Make a Long-tailed Tit

Also works as a finger puppet! Shima-enaga

The long-tailed tit, known as the “snow fairy,” lives in Hokkaido.

Its plush-like round shape and beady eyes are truly adorable.

This is an origami piece inspired by that bird.

Amazingly, it can also be used as a finger puppet—an idea kids will love.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center.

Flip the paper top to bottom, then fold the left and right corners back to form the wings.

Fold down the top corner, which becomes the head, to round it out, and tuck the bottom triangle inward to finish.

Use a pen to draw the wing patterns and face as the final touch.

Cute winter fairy

Here’s an idea for making a little fairy using two sheets of origami paper.

The face takes 7 folds and the body takes 4 folds to complete! Let’s start with the face.

Place the paper with the white side up, fold it in half by matching the left and right corners, crease well, then open it.

Next, fold the top left and right edges in to meet the center crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle, then fold it up again so the whole paper forms an isosceles triangle.

Flip it over, fold the bottom two corners inward, and the face is done.

For the body, follow the same steps up to making the creases and folding the left and right edges to the center.

From there, fold the bottom corner up to form an isosceles triangle, and the body is complete! Glue the parts together, then draw the face and hair to finish.

First, crease an X diagonally, then fold one corner toward the center crease and make five small accordion folds upward.

Next, take the opposite corner and fold it up in a large flap, then fold a small portion back down to reveal a white edge.

Flip it over, fold both sides toward the center line and open them, then fold the sides in again along the creases you just made.

Shape it neatly and you’re done.

Don’t forget to draw Santa’s face with a pen!

This idea uses six sheets of quarter-size origami paper.

Fold each sheet in half twice to make a small triangle.

Starting from the folded edge, make three evenly spaced cuts parallel to the triangle’s base.

Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Gently open the paper, then first glue together the top and bottom corners of the innermost layer.

Skip one and glue the third set of corners in the same way, then flip the paper over.

Next, glue the second and fourth sets of corners together.

Once you have six identical pieces, attach the ends to each other to complete the snowflake.

A snowman that folds after 7 times plus 4 times

“Preschool Craft Ideas: Winter Origami” Snowman! An easy origami you can fold in 7 + 4 steps (kids can make it!) · Origami snowman easy

A snowman that folds after 7 times plus 4 times

Let’s make seven snowmen and four hats.

For the hats, use origami paper that is one quarter the size of the snowman’s paper.

We’ll start with the snowman: with the colored side facing up, fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together, crease well, then unfold.

Next, fold the bottom edge up to the crease, and fold the top edge down so it aligns about 1 cm above the crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the left and right edges together to make a center crease, then fold both the left and right edges in to meet that crease.

Finally, fold all four corners inward, and the snowman is complete! Now for the hat: fold the paper into a triangle.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge, then fold both the left and right edges up to align with the top edge.

That completes the hat.

Glue the two together and draw a face on the snowman to finish.
