Cute Randoseru Card

You can write a message on the inside of the flap and even put candy in the inner pocket! Here’s a perfect randoseru (school backpack) card for gifts.

You’ll make the body, the flap, and the shoulder straps.

Use 15 cm origami paper for the body and flap, and use a sheet that’s half of a half (1/2, then halved again) for the shoulder straps.

For the body, fold the bottom edge up to a point 3 cm from the top, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right edges to meet at the center line.

For the flap, fold the paper in half by overlapping the left and right sides, then fold both bottom corners into small triangles.

Tuck those triangles inward, insert the top part into the body, and finish assembling the backpack.

For the shoulder straps, just fold the origami in half and attach them!

A long-tailed tit backpack

[Origami] How to Make a Long-tailed Tit’s Randoseru (School Backpack)

The illustration of the long-tailed tit is such a cute idea! You can make this with a single sheet of origami, but after creasing it, cut off the parts to be used for the lid and the shoulder straps with scissors.

Assemble the remaining part into a box to form the body.

For the long-tailed tit on the lid, use a piece of origami cut to one-quarter size.

Fold one corner on the short edge to round it, then fold it up so the white side shows, and draw the eyes and wing patterns with a pen.

It’s such a wonderful piece that makes you think, “I wish there were actually school backpacks like this!”

How to fold a flat randoseru

[Spring Origami] How to fold a flat randoseru (school backpack) with voice instructions ☆ Origami Japan School Bag tutorial / Tatsukuri

Here’s an introduction to a flat backpack (randoseru) that you can cutely customize by writing messages or adding parts.

You’ll make three pieces: the flap, the body, and the shoulder straps.

Use two 15 cm origami sheets and one half-size sheet.

For the flap, first fold the top and bottom edges to the same width, then fold again along the center line, and fold the top-right and bottom-right corners into triangles to form the shape.

For the body, fold the top edge down to the same width as the flap, then fold the left and right edges to the back the same way.

Next, fold those left and right edges inward to meet the center line, and fold the bottom edge up to the same width as the top.

Fold the whole piece in half top to bottom, then fold back the top edge of the front layer to finish.

For the shoulder straps, just fold to make long, thin strips.

Combine all the parts to assemble your randoseru.

A school backpack made of paper packaging

[KitKat] Origami with paper packaging: Randoseru (Japanese school backpack) - KitKat origami school bag

You’ve probably seen snacks in plastic-free paper packages lately.

If your favorite package has switched to paper, why not use it to make a randoseru (Japanese school backpack)? From the package, cut out two squares, one half-size piece, and one quarter-size piece that’s then cut in half.

Use the square sheets to make the backpack body.

If you can fold the upper body of the traditional “yakko-san” model, you can finish this on your own.

Use the half-size piece for the flap, and use the remaining piece to make two shoulder straps.

Those just require folding in half and making narrow folds, so they’re easy!
