[Origami] How to Fold a Dress | Origami: How to Make a Paper Dress (DIY)

The so-called June bride is said to bring happiness to those who marry in June.

In keeping with that theme, how about making a “dress” in June? Take an origami sheet and accordion-fold both sides toward the center.

Fold the lower part up to meet the top, then fold it back down to form the bodice (top) and the skirt.

Open the sides of the skirt to create an A-line shape, and fold the top so it becomes a tube-top style.

It makes a dress that looks just like a Disney princess’s, so it’s an especially great idea for girls.

melon

How to fold a melon with origami

The shipment volume increases around June when melons are in season.

In this idea, you make the melon’s fruit and stem separately with origami.

For the fruit, use the zabuton fold and then fold the corners inward to shape it into a round form.

For the stem, cut a strip of origami paper, fold it into a long, thin piece, then fold it in half and open the ends outward to finish.

Draw the melon’s net pattern on the fruit with a pen, then attach the two parts to complete it.

It’s easy to make, so why not try creating melons in various sizes? If you’re decorating a wall, you can also make them in different colors.
