raincoat

Easy way to fold an origami raincoat | origami raincoat

A raincoat that keeps you dry on rainy days—you can actually make one with origami! First, crease the paper horizontally into thirds, then fold the right edge back outward by about 2 mm.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the lowest crease, and fold the top edge down to meet the top crease.

Rotate the paper so the small outward fold is at the top, then fold up about one third from the bottom.

Flip the paper over and fold the left and right edges in to meet the center line.

Open the pocketed sections you’ve created to form the sleeves and collar, tidy up the shoulder and neck areas, and you’re done!

umbrella

[Origami for the Rainy Season] How to Make an Umbrella with Audio Instructions ☆ Origami Umbrella Tutorial – June Decoration

Here’s an umbrella idea perfect for the rainy season.

You’ll make two parts: the umbrella canopy and the handle.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.

Open it back up to the first triangle.

Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner, crease well, then open and flip the paper over.

Fold along the left and right creases so they meet the center crease.

Next, fold the left and right corners at the bottom of the triangle inward toward the center by about 1 cm.

Fold the protruding tip at the top of the triangle downward, then tuck the left, right, and bottom corners toward the center to finish the umbrella canopy.

Finally, use another sheet of origami paper to make the handle, attach it, and you’re done.

hydrangea

[Rainy Season Origami] Easy Hydrangea Flower Tutorial with Voice Commentary ☆ Origami Easy Hydrangea Tutorial

Let’s make hydrangea flowers—blooms of the rainy season—using origami.

In this idea, you’ll create three parts: the flower base, the flowers, and the leaves.

For the flower base, use 7.5 cm origami paper.

Start with a blintz fold, then fold all the corners slightly inward.

For the flowers, use 3.75 cm origami paper.

Make a blintz fold leaving about a 1 mm gap, flip the paper over, then do another blintz fold aligning the edges precisely to finish.

For the leaves, use 7.5 cm origami paper.

Fold the top and bottom corners to the center, then fold further toward the center as if rolling the edges in.

Flip the paper over, fold it in half by bringing the left and right corners together, then take the top layer and fold it diagonally up toward the right.

Attach the flowers to the base, add the leaves to the back, and your hydrangea is complete.

cucumber

[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.
