Take a square sheet of origami paper divided into four equal parts and fold it into a triangle three times.

Hold the corner that becomes the center of the origami, then round off the edge and cut off the tip.

Draw two curved lines up and down from the left edge to just before the right edge, and make cuts along those curves with scissors.

Open the paper, then glue the middle sections with the slits together at the center on all four sides.

Make another one the same way, rotate it slightly, and attach them back-to-back.

Finally, add a string for hanging, and it’s complete.

Let’s make a snowman with a single sheet of origami!

[Origami] Winter Origami | Easy one-sheet snowman folding tutorial! With a hat for December Christmas decorations

Many kids want to make snowmen in winter, don’t they? Here’s an idea for an origami snowman.

First, fold the top corner of the origami paper into a small triangle and fold it down about 1 cm.

This will be the pom-pom on top of the hat.

Next, tightly roll-fold the right corner twice to create the hat’s white brim.

Fold the paper in half by matching the left and right edges, then fold the brim section back outward to match the width of the rolled folds.

Align the top and bottom to make the paper a square, then lift the top-left corner (two layers) and fold it to the opposite corner.

With the pom-pom at the top, turn the paper over, and fold the lower left and right edges toward the center line.

Open the pocket on the right side and squash-fold it, shaping it into a snowman.

Snowflake paper ornament

[Snowflakes] Origami Decoration: 'How to Make a Snowflake in 1 Minute' Wall Decorations • Winter • Early Childhood Education • Elderly Care Recreation • How to make a very simple snowflake

Here’s an idea for making a papercut design with origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle by bringing the top and bottom corners together.

Then rotate the paper and flip the top and bottom.

Cross the two triangle corners inward and fold where they overlap neatly.

Draw a crystal-like pattern and cut it with scissors.

Open the paper to reveal your design.

The crystal’s look changes depending on how you make the cuts, so try different variations.

The moment you open it and wonder, “What pattern will it be?” is so exciting and fun.

Let’s try folding a mikan (mandarin orange)!

[Origami] Let’s fold a mandarin orange! A winter fruit.

Let’s express sweet, delicious winter mandarins with origami.

We’ll make it with two folds to create creases and four folds to give it a round shape.

Place the origami paper with the white side facing up, and first fold it into a triangle twice by matching the diagonals.

Open it after making the creases, then fold each of the four corners inward by about 3 cm along the crease lines.

Finally, attach a green round sticker as the stem to finish.

It’s also fine to cut a stem out of origami paper.

Drawing dotted patterns with a pen will make it look even more like a mandarin.
