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.

Let’s make a sunflower in origami that blooms toward the summer sun.

Glue yellow and orange origami paper together so that both colored sides are visible.

Make firm creases as you fold.

When you open and fold the paper toward the center, do it gently and carefully.

Open the folded sections, fold the top upward, then tuck the corners inside to shape the sunflower’s petals and finish the flower.

To make the center, fold a piece of brown origami paper in half into a triangle twice, then fold the corners toward the center.

Munch-munch fish

The opening and closing mouth is so cute! Let me introduce a fun idea for a chompy little fish.

Fish often appear on the dining table, but they also show up a lot in anime, picture books, fingerplay, and songs.

This time, let’s make an adorable fish with a mouth that opens and closes using origami! You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

Solid-color origami looks lovely, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami will give your fish extra personality.
