cream soda

@sachimama_asobi

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!

Let’s make a seashell out of origami that captures the feeling of summer.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the left and right corners in to meet the center line.

Fold those corners back outward, then fold the creases so they align with the center line.

Next, tuck the left and right corners up toward the center line so they go underneath the small triangle, and fold the tip of the small triangle slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner down to shape it like a shell, and you’re done.

Add patterns to make it cute!

A bamboo leaf that folds in eight steps

Folds in 8 steps! Tanabata Origami: Simple and Cute Bamboo Leaf Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Leaf

Speaking of July, we have Tanabata, don’t we? In childcare facilities and the like, some may create bamboo grass decorations on the walls.

Here’s an origami idea for bamboo leaves that’s useful on such occasions and only takes eight folds.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it up and fold the two left edges to align with the crease.

At this point, make sure the tip is nice and sharp, and align the edges just slightly outside the crease.

Doing so will help express the leaf’s central vein.

Flip the paper over and fold the triangular section inward.

With the triangle’s base positioned at the bottom, refit the paper and fold the two bottom corners up to meet the center line.

Finally, tuck the left and right corners created in the last step slightly inward, and you’re done!

Cute morning glory

[Origami] How to Fold a Morning Glory | Easy, no-cut method kids can do! Great for wall art and recreational activities at senior day-care centers

Let’s make colorful and cute morning glories out of origami that bloom cheerfully under the summer sun.

First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then unfold it.

Next, fold all four corners toward the center, flip it over, and slightly fold in the four corners.

Flip it over again, and for each loose corner, make two diagonal folds so it forms a peak; after doing this for all four corners, open the paper.

Finally, turn the paper over, and fold the four corners you just peaked toward the center along the creases, and you’re done.

Try making lots in different colors and decorating with them!

whale

[Preschool Craft] Summer project! We’ll show you an easy way to fold a whale with origami!

Fold the origami paper in half to make a crease.

Fold the corners up toward the center line, then fold the whole paper in half to start forming the whale shape.

Shape the whale’s body so it becomes large and rounded.

Finally, fold up the whale’s tail, draw the mouth with a felt-tip pen, and you’re done.

Give this popular whale a try—kids love it! Before making it, it’s also a good idea to show photos of whales or read picture books that feature whales as part of your explanation.

sunflower

[Origami] How to easily make a sunflower from a single sheet! A method kids can do too

Let’s make a sunflower—one of the iconic flowers of summer—using origami.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half into a square twice to make crease lines.

Once you have the creases, fold each corner toward the center.

Continue folding the paper in sequence from the outside toward the inside.

Finally, draw a pattern in the center of the sunflower with a felt-tip pen to finish.

It might be cute to make many of them and arrange them like a sunflower field.

Let’s brighten up the room with sunflowers!

Plump Wind Chime

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make a Wind Chime 🎐 Plump and 3D [Summer Wall Decoration] Sways in the Breeze for Extra Refreshment!

How about making a wind chime out of origami that captures the feeling of summer with its cool tone and a strip of paper swaying in the breeze? First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Next, draw lines on the square as if shaping flower petals, then cut along the lines with scissors.

Snip off a tiny bit in the center so there’s a small hole.

Open the paper; once it looks like a flower, gather the tips of the petals toward the center, overlap them, and glue them down.

Finally, thread a string through and attach a tanzaku (paper strip) to the string to finish.

If you thread a small bell onto the string, it will make a sound and feel even more like a wind chime.

This softly rounded, cute wind chime is perfect to make and display by your window!
