[Origami] Cucumber 🥒 How to make a paper cucumber #cucumber #vegetable #cucumber(Zh) #cucumber(Hi) #pepino(Es/Pt) #cucumber(Zh-trad) #khiyar(Ar) #oi(Ko) #easy #howto #origami #paperfolding #howtomake

Cucumbers, known as a summer vegetable, come into season around June.

Here’s an idea for making a cucumber with a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper into thirds, then fold it in half again, and fold all the corners inward.

Fold so the center parts overlap, and once you have a straight cucumber shape, bend it slightly to finish.

Drawing cucumber patterns or a face with a pen makes it cute.

It’s perfect for creating a summer-vegetable wall display and could be used for pretend play as well.

If you make it a bit thicker, it could even look like a zucchini.

Hoppy Frog

[Origami] Easy Jumping Frog / How to Fold a Frog

Here’s an idea for a frog that hops when you press its rear.

This one uses a square sheet of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the top half so two triangles overlap, and fold the bottom half into a boat-like shape.

There’s a step for making crease lines, so be sure to check carefully as you fold.

From there, form the frog’s arms and legs, then fold the legs over so they overlap the hands.

Fold the bottom back up, and the frog is complete.

By folding it back up, the legs gain thickness—this is what makes it spring and hop!

firefly

[Origami] Firefly Hotaru Origami Firefly

June is firefly season, isn’t it? Here, we’re introducing an idea for making a firefly with origami.

Fold the paper in half to make a center crease, then open it.

Fold the top, bottom, left, and right edges to the center line to form a square.

Open those folds, then form two boat shapes at the top and bottom.

Fold down the corners of the lower boat.

The top will be the head, and the bottom will be the body and wings.

Turn the paper over, fold the upper section down so the top boat becomes half its size, then fold the left and right sides of the lower boat toward the center line, including the head section.

Fold the overlapping part of the head upward, narrowing it to create the antennae, then turn the paper over again.

Attach red origami to the face area and tuck yellow origami between the wings to finish.

rubber boots

Origami Boots / How to fold origami rain boots (boots folding instructions)

Here’s how to fold “rain boots,” which are handy for rainy days.

These boots make a nice accent for June crafts and also work well as wall decorations.

Fold the origami in half to match the top and bottom edges, crease well, then open it.

Fold the top and bottom to meet the center line, then open the paper again.

Fold the left edge outward by about 1 cm, and collapse the paper along the creases.

Next, use an inside reverse fold to form the boot shape, round off the toe, and you’re done.

Using patterned origami, like polka dots or stripes, makes for cute rain boots.

cloud

Origami Land Vol. 232 How to Fold a Cloud Ver. 1

Let me share an idea for making a cloud using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together, then open it.

Fold the top-right and bottom-left corners in to meet the center crease.

Next, fold the top edge down to meet the bottom edge.

Fold the lower-right part of the top layer up toward the upper left diagonally, then flip the paper over and tuck the corners to the back to adjust the shape—your cloud is complete.

If you make not only the cloud but also an umbrella and raindrops and glue them onto construction paper, it could turn into a lovely artwork.

If you like, give it a try!
