You can make it with origami! Kagami mochi origami

[New Year Origami] Easy and Cute Kagami Mochi Origami / Origami Kagami-mochi

Kagami mochi is characterized by stacked rice cakes and a bitter orange on top.

It looks lovely whether you stick it onto a surface or let it stand on its own, and it’s great for preschool craft projects! You’ll need white origami paper, light yellow origami paper, orange origami paper, green origami paper, colored pens, glue, and so on.

It’s exciting to make each part—the mochi, the daidai (bitter orange), and the sanpō (the wooden stand)—separately and then assemble them.

Since the origami sizes differ for each part, please follow the video to check the sizes as you make it!

Here’s an origami horse idea that could serve as a nice touch for your creation.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once to return to a single triangular fold.

Next, lift both corners upward and fold so that the base becomes slanted, crease well, and unfold.

Flip the paper top-to-bottom, then fold up the top corner of the triangle (one layer only).

Fold the left and right edges of the lifted section inward to form the mane.

Turn the paper over to the front, fold the mane downward, then flip the paper to the back again.

Fold the left and right corners downward and then back upward to create the ears.

Finally, tuck in the corners to refine the shape of the face, and you’re done.

Let’s incorporate the plum blossom—famous as a New Year’s flower—into your New Year’s card design.

Here’s a paper-cutting idea you can enjoy like a craft project.

Fold origami paper following the set steps, draw two curved lines, and cut along them with scissors.

Then slowly unfold the paper, and your plum blossom is complete.

There are only seven folds in total, and two of those are just to make crease lines.

It’s an idea that’s easy for children to make, so please give it a try.

Create plum blossoms in various sizes and colors to make a vibrant New Year’s card.

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.
