Father’s Day message card

Let’s express our gratitude! Here are some Father’s Day message card ideas.
Father’s Day is in June, right? In recent years, many people set aside a day to go on a family outing and show appreciation to their guardians.
This time, we’re sharing a message card idea that’s perfect for conveying your feelings.
What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper for the base, two sheets of origami paper cut into quarter-size pieces for the flowers, pens or crayons, and glue or double-sided tape.
The flower motif is adorable, so be sure to give it a try!
Stitch

Let’s make a Disney character! Here are some ideas for Stitch.
When you think of Stitch, you picture the adorable alien with big eyes and ears from the Disney animated film Lilo & Stitch! Since he’s the 626th experimental alien created by the Doctor, June 26th is known as Stitch Day.
This time, let’s make Stitch with origami.
You’ll need one sheet of blue origami paper, origami paper cut into eye and nose shapes, and a pen.
Give it a try!
teru teru bozu (a traditional Japanese handmade doll hung to wish for good weather)

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!
tadpole

Would you like to make a baby frog—a tadpole—out of origami? It only takes six folds to finish, so it’s easy for kids to try.
For this idea, use a 15 cm sheet of origami paper cut into quarters.
First, fold the paper into a triangle, crease it well, and unfold.
Place the paper so the crease runs vertically, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the center line.
Fold the top corner down just a little, then fold the bottom corner up and flip it back—your tadpole is complete.
Add eye stickers to make it even cuter.
snail

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!
drip

June is the rainy season in Japan.
With rain every day, it can be hard to play outside… At times like these, how about trying origami? Here we’ll show you how to make a “raindrop.” It only takes four folds, so give it a try if you like.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then unfold it and place the paper so the crease runs vertically.
Fold the two top edges in to meet the crease, then fold up the bottom corner about 2 cm.
That’s it—your raindrop is complete.
It could be a handy idea for wall decorations and other crafts.
Frog

Frogs that you often see around ponds and watersides.
Maybe it’s because their hopping is so amusing, but children can’t help chasing them when they spot one.
Here, we’ll show you an idea for making a frog from a single sheet of origami.
First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the top corner down to meet the base to make a crease.
Unfold, and then fold the base upward along the crease you just made.
Fold the top corner down about 1 cm, then fold the left and right corners upward.
Fold the protruding top section into a triangle.
Turn the origami over to the front, and your frog is complete! If you want to shorten the face or give the eyes a rounder look, try adjusting by folding the edges inward.
