How to fold an easy and cute gift
Many children probably look forward to Christmas presents.
Let’s express that excitement about gifts with origami! First, prepare your favorite origami paper.
Fold it in half vertically and open it, then fold both sides toward the crease.
Repeat this process three times so that long, narrow folded sections are created on both sides.
Next, flip it over, fold both sides toward the center crease, flip it over again, and fold in half to make a crease.
Fold one end toward the crease twice, open the colored section to form a ribbon, then fold the remaining part up toward this section and tuck it inside to finish.
Opanchu Usagi
“O-Panchu Usagi,” which became popular on social media, is loved by young people for its teary eyes and pink body wearing white underpants.
A wide variety of O-Panchu Usagi merchandise is available, too.
An origami version of O-Panchu Usagi would also delight girls.
Try folding the parts for the face, body, and underpants with origami paper.
It’s also fun to draw the distinctive facial features.
How about making O-Panchu Usagi with various expressions—smiling, crying, troubled, and more?
Olaf
Olaf from the movie Frozen.
He’s a unique character whose carrot nose is his charm point.
Please make this modeled after the round Olaf that appears in the game LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, crease it, and open it.
Fold the two left edges to the crease, then turn the pointed end downward and fold up the bottom corner.
Using the edge of the triangle you just folded up as a guide, crease the bottom section from both sides as if standing it up.
Unfold the bottom corner, open it, and use the creases to squash it into an upside-down diamond shape.
Fold the top corner down to meet the tip of the diamond, then fold both top edges inward so the top rim aligns with the center line.
Fold the newly formed left and right corners inward to refine the shape, and make a step fold at the top corner to create the hair.
Flip the paper over, fold up the diamond section about halfway, and attach the legs made from a smaller piece of origami paper to the back.
You’re done.
A flower with two-colored petals
This is a very cute flower with two-toned petals.
If you use double-sided origami paper, it will look even more gorgeous! The folding method is simple, and up to a certain point it follows the same steps as the “dahlia.” The way you make the petals is different, but since there’s no step where you open it with your fingers like the dahlia, this one might be easier for children to fold.
However, it’s important to fold precisely along the lines.
Once the petals are made, make slits with scissors, fold so the corners become rounded, and finish by sticking a round sticker in the center of the flower!
Totoro
Here’s an introduction to Totoro origami, still popular thanks to the film.
There are three sizes of Totoro, and each can be folded from a single sheet of origami paper.
Which size of Totoro is most popular with girls? Try making your favorite Totoro! It also sounds fun to fold acorns and corn from the movie out of origami.
My Neighbor Totoro is a film enjoyed by people of all ages, and it makes a great topic to share with children—so folding Totoro origami can be a nice way to communicate while you create together.
Origami The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Let me show you how to make The Very Hungry Caterpillar with origami.
Prepare six sheets of origami paper and cut them into quarters.
Using the cut pieces, make two types of parts and combine them.
The folding methods are similar, but there are differences, so be careful about the orientation as you fold.
When assembling each part, interlock them so that the two types alternate.
The key is to combine them in order without mixing up the sequence or the parts.
Kids will be delighted when the caterpillar wiggles and squirms when you hold it!
mini bag
A mini bag that’s perfect for holding small items like stickers, or for decorating your room as an interior accent.
This is an origami craft with a charming look featuring a handle and ribbon that’s sure to delight.
Fold the pocket parts from origami paper and glue them together, then attach the paper that will serve as the bag’s design over the top.
You can choose not only simple solid colors but also your favorites, such as plaid patterns or ones with animals.
Finally, add the ribbon and handle pieces as decoration to finish.
Give this cute origami a try—fun for both kids and adults.
