teru teru bozu (a traditional Japanese handmade doll hung to wish for good weather)

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Easy! How to fold a teru-teru bozu (sunshine doll) Origami doll made of white paper or cloth, rain, cute, doll, June

On rainy days, we hang teru teru bozu and wish for clear skies.

So, as a June origami idea, let’s make a “teru teru bozu.” You can make this with a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half and open it, then place it so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the center crease, then fold the paper in half left to right.

Next, take only the top layer at the top and fold it to the center line, then squash-fold the left section into a triangle.

Fold the part you brought to the center back outward, rotate the paper 90 degrees to the right, and fold the section you just made upward.

The remaining section at the bottom will be the head, so round out the shape.

Draw a face, and your cute teru teru bozu is complete!

Let me introduce an idea for a “snail” that’s perfect for a June wall decoration! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then unfold it.

Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the top and bottom corners to meet the crease.

Next, fold the paper in half, bringing the left and right corners together.

With the triangle pointing down, fold it in half again by bringing the left and right sides together.

Open up the two pocket-like sections and flatten them so the colored side of the origami is on the outside.

Fold the bottom edges on both sides toward the center line.

Then, tucking the folded parts inside, shape the snail’s face and body the way you’d make a crane’s head and tail.

And you’re done!

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