Sparkly Medal

[Origami] How to Make a Sparkling Medal – origami medal

Let’s make a Sparkling Medal using holographic origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a blintz (bring all four corners to the center), then fold those gathered corners back outward so their tips align with the edges.

Do another blintz fold, but this time fold the corners back so that the tips stick out past the edges.

Including the protruding corners, fold all eight corners to the back side.

Since simple folds may come undone, secure them with tape.

Finally, write the number “1” in the center on the front, attach a ribbon to go around the neck, and you’re done! Holographic origami paper is tricky to handle, so the teacher should perform these steps.

medal with a crown

Handmade medals! How to make a 3D, crown-topped version (perfect for sports days and birthday parties)

At many daycare centers and kindergartens, they celebrate children’s birthdays with a birthday party.

This is a perfect medal with a crown for the children who will be the stars of the party.

Make the crown out of construction paper and decorate it with shiny origami paper and other embellishments.

By crafting the crown from construction paper, you can attach it to the medal in a three-dimensional way.

A raised crown in the center of the medal will delight the children even more.

Try personalizing the crown by writing a message on it or decorating it with stickers.

[Ribbon] No-sew Rosette

[Rosette Made with Ribbon] Easy & Cute! How to Make a No-Sew Rosette (Difficulty: ★★☆)

Let’s make a simple rosette using ribbon tape.

The materials are thick paper, ribbon tape, a brooch pin, and a motif to place in the center of the rosette.

First, cut two circles of thick paper, each 4 cm in diameter.

Prepare four pieces of ribbon, each cut to 13 cm.

Apply double-sided tape to the thick paper, form the ribbons into loops, and stick them on.

Start by attaching two loops in a cross shape, then fill the gaps with the remaining two loops.

Once you’ve shaped the ribbons and secured them with a stapler, attach the tail ribbons to the back side of the thick paper.

Stick the motif in the center, and then attach the thick paper with the brooch pin to the back to finish.

By changing the motif, you can create various rosettes with different looks.

[Origami] Festive Medal

[Origami] Easy! How to fold a medal — Luxurious, cute medal tutorial — Gift — Original creation

Here’s an idea for a glamorous medal shaped beautifully like a flower.

First, make a preliminary “cushion fold,” then continue folding in the same way as the flower pattern.

Open and fold down the four sections that will become petals, then open the reverse side as well.

Also open the cushion-folded section on the back side of the paper.

Fold the corners gathered at the center on the front outward, and attach another piece of origami—cut into a trapezoid—into the open space to finish.

If you want to wear it around the neck, attach a ribbon to the back.

Paper Cup Medal

[Nursery & Kindergarten] 6 DIY Paper Cup Medal Ideas! [Sports Day & Birthday Party]

Here’s an idea for making a medal using a paper cup.

From the rim toward the bottom, make eight evenly spaced cuts with scissors.

Open the cut sections outward, then fold the ends back inward to match the round shape of the bottom.

When folding back, vary the angles to give it a three-dimensional look.

Secure the folded parts with tape so they don’t spring back, then attach a ribbon on top so it can go around the neck, and stick on a circle cut out of origami paper.

Turn the paper cup upside down, decorate it with shiny origami, and you’re done! For decoration, using shapes like stars and hearts made with a craft punch will look cute.

Origami medal

How to Fold an Origami Medal [Easy to Make and Cute—Perfect for Gifts]

Let’s make a medal using two sheets of origami paper.

For the first sheet, perform the “zabuton” (cushion) fold three times to make a small square.

For the second sheet, fold it the same way as the flower pattern up to the halfway point.

Open and squash-fold the parts that will become the petals, then fold the four corners gathered at the center outward.

Next, fold the four previously collapsed sections inward.

Slip the first sheet of origami between the layers, and you’re done.

Write a number or message in the center and attach a ribbon to wear around the neck.

If you use two different colors of paper, the medal will look very bright and vivid, so try making it with various color combinations.
