Origami dragonfly using scissors

Let’s make a dragonfly—often seen in autumn—using origami.

Prepare origami paper, round stickers, and scissors.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Fold it down along the center line, then unfold to create crease lines.

Make the dragonfly’s body and use scissors to make small cuts—be careful not to cut too much.

Fold to form the wings and the body separately.

Finally, add the eyes with round stickers, and it’s complete! Give it a try.
