[For Girls] Cute Origami Ideas (51–60)
Frappuccino
The “Frappuccino” you can make from a single sheet of origami features a three-dimensional cup and softly puffed whipped cream.
The steps are simple, and as you fold the corners inward, it gradually takes on the shape of a real drink.
Finish by inserting a thin, rolled strip of origami as a straw to give it a more authentic look.
You can also draw patterns with a pen to customize it—chocolate-style, berry-style, and more.
It’s perfect for display and for pretend play.
Easy for small hands to make, this origami sweet is ideal for a fun parent-child crafting time.
amulet
Amulets can be used in many ways—giving them as gifts to someone important before exams or matches, or making one for yourself to calm your mind.
So, why not try making an amulet themed on the popular “Sumikkogurashi” characters for girls? It’s easy for anyone to make: fold origami paper into a rectangle, attach a string with a bell in the center using tape, and then fold it into thirds.
Use the color of your favorite character and draw the face and patterns.
It’s also a great idea to change the text in the middle to suit the person you’re giving it to!
seal
This is a cute origami seal with a rounded overall shape, with small front flippers and a tail peeking out.
The flippers and tail are layered behind the body, and because it’s made from a single sheet of paper, be mindful of overlaps and reverse folds as you go.
You’ll fold in the corners to create the roundness, and making firm creases here is important for the final balance and stability.
It’s also fun to add originality by choosing different colors of paper and deciding how to draw the expression.
Shiba Inu
I will show you how to fold a cute cat-and-carnation card.
First, make a crease by folding into a triangle.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the corner along that line.
Align so that the folded corner is perpendicular, and fold the left and right edges up on a diagonal.
Turn it upside down, flip it over, fold the bottom corner up to the top, and fold in any excess.
Fold the bottom edge up slightly.
Fold the lower left and right edges up diagonally.
Slightly fold the corners and shape them into a cat’s face—this completes the face.
Next, the body.
Start with the “boat” fold.
Turn it sideways, then fold the top corners diagonally to form the arms.
Fold the lower part halfway up to the center, tuck the left and right sides inward to shape the legs, then fold up to the center once more and glue to secure.
For the flower, fold a triangle twice to make creases.
Fold both ends diagonally so they stick out just a little, then fold a small portion back.
Fold the folded section in half inward and fold back again.
Trim the tip into a carnation shape to finish.
For the grass, use the “balloon” fold.
With a corner at the bottom, fold the left and right of one layer to the center.
On the other layer, fold the left and right slightly on a diagonal.
Fold the bottom corner upward to finish.

croissant
We’re excited to share an idea for a “croissant” with a charmingly plump shape.
There are no complicated steps—just layered folds to create dimension—so it’s easy even for young children to make.
The finished piece looks so realistic and delicious that you’ll want to put it on display.
Change the color and you can play around with variations like chocolate croissants.
Folding together as a parent and child naturally creates a fun, shared moment, with smiles gently added to the creation.
Simple yet warm, this food-themed origami is a highly recommended project.
Rilakkuma
A costumed bear that appeared out of nowhere! Here are some ideas for Rilakkuma.
Did you know there’s a zipper on Rilakkuma’s back? It’s soothing, but also a bit mysterious—so let’s make Rilakkuma with origami this time! You’ll need yellow origami paper, brown origami paper, glue or double-sided tape, scissors, round-cut white pieces, and a black pen.
The key is layering different colors of origami paper, so take your time to get it just right.
Also, the balance of the facial expression is important!
Sumikkogurashi ‘Bookmark’
Sumikkogurashi is super popular with everyone from preschoolers to elementary school kids! Here’s an origami idea for making Sumikkogurashi character bookmarks.
You can choose between two versions: one without ears and one with ears.
The folding steps are almost the same—the only difference is whether you fold the corners outward to make ears or fold them inward to round them off.
It’s easy for kids to try, so make your favorite character! Use pens to draw the face and patterns.
