With the white side of the origami paper facing up, fold it into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the left corner back into a triangle.

This part will be the horse’s nose, so fold the tip further inward to adjust the shape.

Next, fold the top and bottom left edges along the crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the right corner into a triangle to form the mane, then flip the paper over again and fold the left and right corners of the mane toward the center crease.

With the mane positioned on top, unfold the part you just folded, open the corner of the paper outward, and squash it flat.

Then open the left and right edges you initially folded along the crease outward, and fold the two top corners into triangles toward the back.

Fold the tips created by those triangles inward to make the ears.

Finally, accordion-fold the mane in small steps to create the texture of the hair, and you’re done.

For someone who’s far away, a child’s growth can feel incredibly fast, right? Here’s an idea for a New Year’s card: attach a horse made from origami.

Origami is said to nurture not only fine motor skills but also thinking skills and the ability to plan ahead.

The recipient will likely be delighted to see that the child can now create such a lovely piece with origami.

You only need one sheet of origami paper, and adding eyes with a pen or round stickers gives it a cute finish.

Recommended for preschoolers in the middle to older age range.

Fold the origami paper in half twice to make a square, crease well, then unfold.

Next, fold the left and right edges to meet the center crease.

Flip the paper over, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the center line.

Fold that raised section back down to align with the bottom edge, and flip the paper over again.

Now fold all four corners inward to form triangles.

Open the pocket in the middle of the bottom triangle and squash it flat; then fold the two lower corners of the opened section into small triangles to create the horse’s nose.

For the top triangle, open the folded part and squash it into a diamond, then fold only the upper half downward.

Make a mountain fold about 7 mm wide, and along that crease, cut slits from the center of the triangle outward to both sides.

Open the cut section into a rectangle, tuck the two top corners to the back, and reform it into a triangle.

Flip this triangle to the other side and make diagonal pleated folds to form the mane.

Fold up the remaining lower triangle of the diamond to make the ears, and tuck the left and right edges inward to create the horse’s long, slender outline.

Finally, fold the corners to refine the outline, and you’re done!

Cute Pony Origami

How to Make Pony Origami! Horse Origami Tutorial!

A colorful horse made with double-sided origami paper has a different vibe and looks really cute, doesn’t it? All you need to prepare is double-sided origami paper and a pen.

It seems that larger origami paper works better than the standard 15 cm square.

The folding steps are simple and easy to follow.

If you make crisp, firm creases as you go, you can keep it neat all the way to the end, so give it a try.

After it’s finished, it’s fun to draw the horse’s expression, too.

It might also be interesting to stick them on a wall or window to make it look like they’re running across the sky.

Even when making a horse out of origami, careful attention to decorative details can transform it into many different kinds of horses.

This time, let’s make the famed racehorse Deep Impact.

Prepare brown-toned origami paper, pens, stickers, and so on.

By using pens and stickers to depict the mane color and the tack and gear that suit the horse’s personality and traits, you can show how to tell horses apart through decoration, even with the same folding method.

For this project, try capturing Deep Impact’s distinctive features, making good use of thin, elongated stickers.

Winged Horse Kirigami

I tried making a prancing horse with kir折り紙 (cut-and-fold origami).

The form looks so cool, like it could start moving at any moment.

The key is to make it by cutting and folding paper without using glue or adhesive.

All you need to prepare are craft paper, a pen, and scissors.

If you pay close attention to the direction of the joints when a horse rears and craft it with care, it seems to make the piece even more appealing.

In the video, it’s finished freehand, but tips and unfolded diagrams are also explained, so try making it while using those as references.

By adding slits in various places, you can achieve a three-dimensional form.

Origami Horse You Can Make from a Single Sheet

[Origami] Horse

You can give it a try if you have origami at home or at school! This is a full-body horse made from a single sheet of origami paper.

All you need is one sheet.

Brown tones are recommended, but you can also use whatever colors children imagine, or even patterned design paper to make a horse with markings.

Some steps require a bit of force where layers overlap, and there are a few slightly tricky points, but it’s best to pause the video and work at your own pace.

Once you finish one horse, you’ll want to make a second and third—it’s a wonderfully charming idea.
