Hyoko-hyoko Box
Let’s make a cute box you can poke and play with! You’ll need four sheets of origami paper.
Two will form the box, and the other two will make the contents—feel free to choose colors that match the look you want for each part.
After you make the box shape using two sheets, take one of the “contents” sheets, fold it into a long strip, and then fold it to divide it into three sections.
Cut the other “contents” sheet in half, join the halves to make a longer vertical strip, and fold it into an accordion.
Next, assemble the two box pieces into a box, place the accordion-folded strip inside, and insert the triply folded strip at the front—and you’re done! If you like, decorate each part by drawing faces or adding stickers.
How to Fold a Flower with a Single SheetNEW!
A flower you can make with a single sheet of origami paper is a perfect idea for birthday decorations.
First, fold the paper toward the center to create creases all over.
Next, open the inside as you fold to shape it, and carefully fold to form triangles on the outside.
Then, fold while opening the inside further so the petals spread out softly.
Finally, lightly fold the edges of the paper and place a round sticker in the center to finish.
Pressing the creases firmly with your fingers helps the shape stay in place.
It also looks beautiful lined up in different colors, so it’s highly recommended.
ice cream
Let’s make a cute ice cream motif out of origami—a popular design among girls.
If you create them in various sizes, you can give them to friends as message cards or use them to decorate your room.
This method uses both the colored front and the white back of a single sheet of origami paper, so you can complete it with just one sheet.
It’s not difficult, so give it a try and master it.
Once you’ve folded your ice cream, you might also make it even cuter by decorating the ice cream part with colorful toppings using markers or stickers.
Chiikawa
Are you familiar with Chiikawa, a character that’s popular on social media and the internet? It’s a cute yet slightly surreal anime character that’s become a favorite among girls.
This Chiikawa origami is a full-body version with both the face and body, so the finished piece looks quite authentic.
But it’s very easy to make.
Once you’ve made the face, use a pen to draw Chiikawa’s expression.
Try drawing a soft, gentle look.
Glue the face onto the body base, and you’re done.
It would surely make a delightful gift, too.
How to fold a colorful randoseruNEW!
A backpack made from a single sheet of origami paper! The finished piece is small, but it looks like you could tuck in a little candy and give it as a gift.
If you make several in different colors and line them up, they’ll make perfect April decorations! First, fold the origami paper in half, then fold it once more in the same direction to make creases.
Along the creases, cut off one quarter of the paper and use that part to make the flap.
After adding more creases, cut off the shoulder strap section as well.
Assemble the remaining paper into a box shape, then attach the flap and shoulder straps to finish!
