[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (61–70)
Make it with a single sheet of origami! Ribbon BoxNEW!
This is a cute ribbon-shaped box that lets you put items on both the left and right sides of the ribbon.
Using double-sided origami paper with colors or patterns on both sides is recommended! First, make three vertical creases and an X-shaped set of diagonal creases, then fold along the creases to form a triangle by tucking the paper inward.
After folding a small triangle at the non-opening corner, unfold the whole piece, and, keeping the small square formed in the center in mind, fold around it.
Since this small square becomes the center of the ribbon, spread out both sides so they form box-like compartments.
By carefully using the guiding creases as you open it up, you’ll end up with a neat ribbon shape! It might also be nice to make it with larger origami paper.
With a single sheet of origami! Three-dimensional planar cosmosNEW!
A three-dimensional, flat cosmos flower that’s perfect for messages or wall decor.
Prepare one sheet of origami.
Start by making a crease down the middle, then change the shape into a triangle or square as you go, adding creases along the center line.
If you make firm creases, it will fold smoothly when you tuck in the cosmos petals.
When forming the flower portion, fold each petal one by one, aligning the tip with the creases and adjusting the angle as you go to create a neat cosmos.
Finally, fold the corners to round the overall shape, and your cosmos is complete.
Give it a try!
One sheet of origami! How to fold a cute cosmos flowerNEW!
Let’s prepare scissors and origami paper to make cosmos flowers in your favorite colors.
First, crease the origami by folding it into a triangle and then a square.
Gently puff it up and squash fold it to create the base for the petals; make four bases so they form a square shape.
After folding the paper into petal shapes, use scissors to make small cuts.
Tuck in the tips so they form petal points, shape the whole piece into a cosmos, and finish by making a small outward tuck in the center.
It might also be fun to use patterned origami paper.
Cosmos made with four sheets of origamiNEW!
Let’s make a cosmos flower that uses four sheets of origami, where the volume really highlights its elegance.
Fold the origami into a square, puff it up, and gently squash it into a triangle.
After folding the tip of the triangle down to align with the center line at the bottom, slowly open the pocket of the origami to form the cosmos flower.
Fold the remaining sheets in the same way, then glue the four pieces together at the center to complete one cosmos.
The steps are simple and easy, so give it a try!
It can be three-dimensional or flat! How to fold a ribbonNEW!
Depending on where you display it, you can change the final look.
First, make diagonal X-shaped creases, then fold in from both sides toward the center crease twice each.
Fold it in half at the center, make a triangular crease in the middle, then open both sides into triangles.
On both sides, fold one sheet of the paper horizontally, and fold the top and bottom upward respectively.
On the back of the ribbon’s center, make a small triangular fold, then spread the parts you folded up outward.
If you finish by puffing up the center of the ribbon, it becomes three-dimensional; if you flatten it, it becomes a flat ribbon.
Try making lots of ribbons in different colors and patterns and decorate with them!
A cosmos whose petals only need to be folded three timesNEW!
How about a cosmos flower with plenty of petals that looks almost real? Fold a 7.5 cm square of origami paper into a triangle three times, draw the shape of a petal with a pencil, then cut it out.
If you cut it with a jagged edge, you can recreate the distinctive cosmos petals.
Make two of these and glue them together.
For the center, take a yellow piece of origami paper 7.5 cm wide and 2 cm tall, fold it in half, make many fine slits, and roll it up.
Secure the end with glue and gently flare the slit portion outward.
Attach it to the flower, and you’re done.
It’s amazing that you can make a lovely cosmos with just three folds!
A Playable! Ribbon Ring OrigamiNEW!
Also great for pretend play! This is an origami ring with a cute ribbon.
First, fold into a square and fold the front edge up to the center, then cut.
Take the cut piece and fold the top and bottom edges to align with the crease.
Fold the left and right edges in to meet the center.
Fold the top and bottom edges to the central crease.
Unfold, then make inside reverse folds along the creases.
Open it and fold the layers inward along the creases.
Fold the left side to the right, using the upper and lower right corners as a guide, to the right.
Fold only the top layer of the top and bottom to align with the center slit.
Next, fold the left and right edges.
Flatten the triangles.
Turn it over and tuck the left and right edges into the inner gaps.
Once tucked, fold the ends.
Fold the left and right sides along the outside of the triangles to shape it into a ring, and you’re done!
Magic Flower
A dazzling magic flower made from six origami parts and sticks! Fold a square of origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it back to the halfway state and fold both corners up to meet the top point.
Next, open the flaps outward diagonally, return it to the halfway state again, fold the top point down to the center of the bottom edge, and fold it in half with a crisp crease.
Make six identical parts, stack and glue them together, then attach one stick to each of the outer parts.
Fan them out, and you’ll have a beautiful magic flower where the front and back colors appear as two layers of petals.
wallet
Let’s make a cute wallet you can use for pretend shopping! First, fold the origami paper in half.
Then fold it in half again to make a square and unfold it.
Fold both sides in toward the crease you just made, as if making new creases toward the center.
Next, make small triangular creases on both sides of the unopened end of the paper, then open those areas to form a house shape.
Turn it over, fold both sides toward the center, and fold the white parts on both sides into small triangles.
Do the same on the other side.
Finally, on both sides, fold the white parts toward the colored side—and you’re done!
How to fold a cute flower-shaped little box
Here’s a cute idea for a box that blossoms open in a flash.
First, fold an origami paper into a triangle twice, open up the pocketed part and squash it to make a square.
Place it with the corner that will be the center of the piece pointing down, then fold both bottom edges in to meet the center line.
Do the same on both sides.
Using these creases, open the pocketed sections again and squash them, then fold both side corners of every face in to meet the center line.
Fold the top corner down at the color boundary, then gently open it up to form a box.
Make two of these boxes and stack them to complete the flower box.
