cream soda

Let’s make a retro-cute cream soda! ❤️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 Fizzy fizzy~ ✨ Don’t you crave cream soda in the hot summer? 🥰 It feels like there aren’t many places selling cream soda these days… But I absolutely love it! ❤️ Today I made a cream soda out of origami! I used white round stickers to represent the soda bubbles, but if you don’t have them, drawing circles with a white crayon or pen will give a soda vibe too 🙌 There are a few steps for the straw and cherry, but it’s very easy to make, so please give it a try! +——————————————+ I’m Sachi-mama, currently raising three rambunctious boys ages 7, 5, and 1 ❀´- I share play ideas and simple crafts with kids using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

Let’s make a summery cream soda with origami.

Prepare one large sheet of origami paper, three small sheets, and some round stickers.

For the drink portion, fold the large sheet horizontally, then shape it evenly on both the left and right sides as you adjust the paper.

Cut a small sheet into quarters to make the cherry fruit and the cherry stem.

Once finished, attach them to the cream soda.

Finally, take one small sheet, offset-fold it into a triangle, and roll it to create a straw.

Give this delicious-looking cream soda a try!

An easy origami rhinoceros beetle

Origami Beetle Summer Origami: Easy Kabutomushi (Rhinoceros Beetle) Folding Method

You can easily make a rhinoceros beetle with just one sheet of origami paper.

Fold it into a triangle and open it to create a crease.

Then fold along the crease.

If you make a step fold where the body will be, it will look like a real beetle.

For the horn, use scissors to make a small slit at the tip of a corner, then fold it so it splits into two.

Besides brown or black origami paper, wood-grain patterned brown paper also gives a nice finish.

Try different types of paper and enjoy customizing your design.

Origami sunflower seed

sunflower seed origami

You’ve finished the yellow petals of the sunflower, but aren’t sure what to do for the brown center? This will help! Prepare a sheet of brown origami paper.

First, fold it in half into a square twice, then unfold to make crease lines.

Fold each corner toward the central crease, then fold toward the center two more times to form a small square.

After that, just draw a grid pattern and you’re done! Combine it with the yellow sunflower petals you made separately from origami, or with a drawing of a sunflower that has only the petals.

Double-sided origami sunflower

Origami Flower: Easy way to make a sunflower from a single sheet — How to make an easy origami sunflower

This sunflower features slightly three-dimensional petals and looks lovely.

For this method, use double-sided origami paper, so please prepare one that’s yellow on one side and brown on the other.

Fold it in half twice so the brown side ends up on the inside, forming a square.

Open it, then fold it twice again to make a triangle.

Fold the four corners toward the center where the creases intersect to create the petals.

Continue folding as you would when making a crane, and you’ll end up with eight petals.

A nice point of this piece is that it’s completed with just one sheet of origami paper.

Be sure to get double-sided paper and give it a try!

Summer Origami! How to Fold a Rhinoceros Beetle

[Summer Origami] Simple beetle folding with voice commentary ☆ How to fold a beetle with paper / Tatsukuri

Origami rhinoceros beetle creations have a cute, round, chubby shape.

Because the design is rounded, there are some parts where you need to make fine folds.

Still, carefully folding each step will give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment when the beetle takes shape.

Adding sticker-made eyes to the finished beetle or attaching legs folded from origami can change the overall style.

Trying different arrangements can be fun, don’t you think? Once it’s done, you can mount it on a backing sheet to display, or place it on a shelf to bring a seasonal touch to your room.

Paper-cut sunflower you can even make the leaves for!

[Kirie] Easy Sunflower 🌻 How to make a sunflower #sunflower (JP) #himawari #sunflower (EN) #sūrajmukhī (HI) #girassol (PT) #haebaragi (KO) #kirigami #kirigami (JP) #Kirikami #origgi (KO) #paper

With a single sheet of origami paper, you can make everything from the sunflower’s bloom to its stem and leaves! First, fold the paper in half vertically with the colored side facing inward.

Next, draw half of a sunflower—from the flower through the stem and leaves—on the paper.

Then simply cut along the lines you drew! By adding fine slits, you can show the border between the yellow petals and the brown center, as well as the veins on the leaves.

If you like, add facial features with round stickers to finish a cute sunflower!

How to fold an easy uchiwa (paper fan)

[Origami] How to Fold a Uchiwa Fan – Easy Tutorial – Summer Origami – Kids Can Make It [Origami]

Here’s a fan craft idea you can also use for summer wall decorations.

Place the origami paper with the colored side up, fold it into a triangle, then open it.

Fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so that the folded corner is at the bottom.

Fold the two corners at the center of the paper outward to form triangles.

Tuck the corners slightly to the back to round them, and do the same to round the top corner.

Fold up the lower corner of the white area, then fold it back down leaving about 1 cm to create a pleat (accordion fold).

While flattening the corners of the pleated section into triangles, fold the left and right edges toward the center line.

Tuck the bottom corner to the back, and your fan is complete.
