Cute and easy! Origami unicornNEW!
Let’s combine colorful origami to make a cute unicorn.
Use one sheet of origami for the unicorn’s head and one for the body.
Make the unicorn’s mane and horn with the same origami paper, but finish them colorfully by pasting your favorite colors of origami on top or by coloring them.
Draw the face to complete the unicorn’s head.
Shape the unicorn’s body so it looks like a sitting dog.
After folding, color in the hooves.
Finally, attach the head and body to finish! Try making unicorns with manes in all sorts of colors and display them.
How to Make an Easy Wobbuffet (Origami)NEW!
Wobbuffet, with its memorable cry of “Wobbuffet!”, has a name that’s just the same.
Prepare light blue origami paper, first fold it into a triangle twice, changing the orientation, and leave it folded into a triangle for now.
Open it while leaving a little in the center, flip it over, and fold both ends toward the center.
Flip it over again and fold both ends toward the center to make a long, slender body.
Make a small cut in the middle and open it outward to form the legs.
Finally, fold the corners of the head area, and your Wobbuffet is complete.
Be sure to draw its distinctive face, too!
Easy! How to fold PiNEW!
Pii, the pre-evolved form of Clefairy, is known for its star-like silhouette.
Start by folding a pink sheet of origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then fold both corners toward that crease.
Fold the paper in half from the opposite direction, and from the corners of the straight edge, fold each side past the center just a little.
Fold back a small part of the folded sections to make the ears.
Slightly fold up the side opposite the ears, turn it over to the front, and fold back the two ends and the top a little.
Flip it over again, make small cuts in the slightly folded section opposite the ears to form the legs.
Turn it back to the front, draw Pii’s face, and you’re done.
You’ll end up with a cute, pink, star-like shape!
How to fold a cute PoliwagNEW!
Poliwag, the Tadpole Pokémon, is known for the swirl on its belly.
Once you have blue origami paper, first fold it into a triangle twice and open it to make an X-shaped crease.
Fold both ends toward the center twice, then flip it over.
From one of the pointed ends, fold once toward the center, align with the crease and fold—repeat this entire process three times, and finally fold up along the second crease you made.
Fold the opposite corner to make it an even longer, slimmer point and flip it over, then fold it in half and fold it up slightly at a diagonal.
After that, just fold the corners, and you’re done! Draw Poliwag’s face and the swirl on its belly to finish.
An easy way to fold a cute unicornNEW!
This unicorn origami, featuring a softly rounded, gentle design, is an idea that lets you enjoy the very process of shaping its adorable look.
Prepare two sheets of the same color: use one for the head and the other for the body.
Folding by parts makes the differences in shape easy to see.
Since the head and body are made separately, you can also enjoy the step of combining them while checking the balance.
It pairs well with soft colors, and another charm is that the impression changes depending on how you fold it.
By drawing the facial expression and features with a pen, you’ll complete a one-of-a-kind unicorn that’s uniquely yours.
Give it a try!
