Umbrella Craft Ideas by Age Group: Perfect for Rainy-Season Childcare

A chic and cute leaf umbrella for adults

[Origami] Decorative “Leaf Umbrella” ~Original Origami by Oriya Komachi~

The umbrellas we usually use might be replaced by leaves for tiny creatures.

Just imagining such a small world of living things makes us feel gentle, doesn’t it? This time, let’s make a leaf umbrella with origami.

Prepare one sheet of regular-size origami and one quarter-size sheet.

Fold the regular-size sheet in half twice into a square, then open it once to a rectangle and shape it into a leaf.

Some steps are a bit complex, but proceed carefully while making firm creases.

Fold the quarter-size sheet into a thin strip to create the stem, then combine it with the leaf to finish.

How about also making creatures like a snail and displaying them together?

A Japanese parasol with cherry blossoms made of origami

[Origami Cherry Blossom Umbrellas] How to Make Traditional Japanese Umbrellas with Origami

A cherry-blossom paper umbrella perfect for spring.

Fold the origami square in half twice to create cross-shaped crease lines.

Next, fold the paper along the cross lines.

Flip it over, fold it in half, then sketch a curved outline on the paper and cut along the line with scissors.

When you open it, it will be a cherry blossom shape; now we’ll form it into an umbrella.

After a quick check, adjust the mountain and valley folds of the petals and remake them.

Match each petal’s mountain fold to a valley fold, and repeat this fold a total of five times.

Using a bamboo skewer, pinch the mountain folds together and define the valley crease lines.

Carefully shape the umbrella portion, make a hole in the center, insert and pass a stick through, then wrap masking tape around the tip to finish.

A cute parasol-like umbrella

Origami/ How to fold a 3D umbrella 折り紙 立体的な傘の折り方

The method is simple, and let’s make an umbrella that will brighten even a gloomy, rainy day.

For the umbrella part, prepare one sheet of origami paper and form the umbrella shape while creasing as you go.

As you puff up the triangular sections, squash-fold them, then fold in the tip of the triangle.

For the handle, roll the origami paper tightly to make it firm; this will give you a sturdy, reliable handle.

Finally, glue the handle to the umbrella and you’re done.

Using patterned origami paper may make it look even more festive.

An origami umbrella that can open and close!

Origami umbrella opening and closing 3D easy how to make It opens! A foldable method [Origami]

This is an origami umbrella that opens and closes realistically.

Fold a 15 cm square sheet of origami paper in half twice so it becomes a smaller square, then fold the pocketed part into a triangle.

Fold each of the two short sides along the central crease, then open along the creases and flatten.

After opening all four sections, tuck the corners inward.

Make the same piece with origami that’s one-quarter the size, and use a long, narrow strip of origami to make the umbrella handle.

Combine the three parts, and you’ll have an umbrella that opens and closes.

Moving models may seem difficult to make, but they’re actually very easy—why not give it a try?

Perfect for decorations! How to fold an umbrella

(Origami) Cute! How to make an umbrella [DIY]

A small umbrella decoration perfect for the rainy season.

While many origami umbrellas are made in the open position, this one is folded closed.

Enjoy the rainy season with a different folding method.

Cut a sheet of double-sided patterned origami paper into a 10 cm diameter circle and fold it in half.

Fold it so the semicircle is divided into three equal parts, unfold, then cut along the folds to make three separate pieces.

Using a round, cylindrical item like a chopstick, shape each piece into a curved arch and form a cone, then adjust it so it resembles a heart shape.

Make the handle with wire, combine it with the umbrella pieces, and you’re done.

[Age 3] A Coffee Filter Umbrella

[Rainy Season Craft] Make Cute Coffee Filter Umbrellas! Perfect for the Rainy Season! [For 3-Year-Olds]

Here’s a craft idea for making umbrellas where kids can enjoy bleed art using coffee filters.

First, cut off the rim of the coffee filter to make it a bit smaller, then have the children draw patterns on it with water-based markers.

Once the patterns are drawn, spray water with a mister and enjoy watching the ink bleed.

Since fine details won’t be visible once the colors bleed, let the children know this in advance.

After the water dries, cut a slit in the center of the bottom, thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through to secure it, and curl the handle at the end to finish.

[Age 3] Colorful Paper Plate Umbrella Decoration

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Umbrella Craft Ideas ♪ Cute Hanging Decorations! [Rainy Season & June Crafts/How-To]

Here’s a craft idea for making colorful umbrellas out of paper plates.

First, draw patterns on the umbrella.

Blow painting, stamping—any technique is fine! Once you’ve added your designs, cut the paper plate in half, shape it like an umbrella, and glue it together.

Finally, thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through and bend it to form the handle—done! You can leave the edge as is, or cut it into wavy or zigzag shapes for an extra-cute umbrella.

After threading the pipe cleaner, curl the tip at the ferrule end so it doesn’t slip out.
