Round and cute knitted decoration

[Tanabata Craft] What? You can make it with origami? A cute round net decoration! [Daycare/Kindergarten] #shorts

Let me introduce a cute, round paper-weave ornament.

Prepare round origami paper and scissors, and let’s get started.

Fold the round-cut origami and make slits in it.

Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Finally, open it slowly and shape it, then hang it with twine to finish.

Using glitter origami paper might make an even more sparkling Tanabata decoration.

Both square weave ornaments and round, softly curved ones are lovely! Give it a try with the kids.

Easy with kirigami! How to make a star

Simple with kirigami! Let’s show how to make a star.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and start folding while making crease lines.

After folding, draw a guide line, then cut along the line with scissors.

When you open the paper, you’ll have a star with a hollow center.

If you apply glue to the tips of the star and stick them together, you’ll get a beautiful star that looks like the Milky Way—perfect for Tanabata decorations.

Try making them in different sizes and colors.

It’s also great to decorate by sticking them on wish strips (tanzaku) for an even more Tanabata-like touch.

Depending on the children’s age and development, it’s also recommended to have them use glue and scissors as they create.

By sticking together circles cut from origami paper, you can make decorations with a cute, soft look.

There are many Tanabata decorations that children can enjoy making according to their age and growth, such as triangle chains, square chains, circle chains, and watermelon decorations.

Cute Tanabata origami

[Tanabata Origami] Cute☆How to Fold Orihime and Hikoboshi — Origami for the Star Festival

Here’s an origami idea for making Hikoboshi and Orihime.

For Hikoboshi’s face, use one sheet of black origami paper; for Orihime’s face, use two sheets of black origami paper, one large and one small.

Since Hikoboshi and Orihime have different hairstyles, the folding method differs slightly, but basically you just fold along the creases, so kids can try it too.

The kimono is folded the same way for both, so change the color of the origami paper as you like.

Make the obi (belt) and the celestial robe with separate sheets of origami paper.

Attach the head to the kimono, draw the face with a pen, and you’re done!
