How to fold a cute cherry blossom tree

[Origami] Cherry Blossom Tree - Easy How-To | Spring Origami | March & April Origami | Not Difficult, Kid-Friendly Folding Method [Origami]
How to fold a cute cherry blossom tree

If you make lots of them and decorate the wall, you can create a row of cherry trees! First, take a sheet of brown origami paper, make a cross-shaped crease, and open it.

Fold both ends toward the center.

Then fold each side toward the center again, open it, and this time make diagonal “X” creases.

Fold three edges into long, narrow strips to form two triangles, then fold them even narrower.

Open the triangular sections outward, and the tree trunk is complete! For the cherry blossoms, fold pink origami paper into a triangle twice, open it once, then fold the corners to create a rounded shape.

Finally, combine it with the trunk you made first to complete a cherry tree.

Here’s an origami plum blossom that’s perfect for decorations.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Fold down the top corner to make a crease.

Next, fold the middle corner down just a little, then fold both side corners up at an angle.

Fold the left and right sides inward, and use a pen to draw lines that will become the petals.

Cut along the lines with scissors and unfold to finish.

Using different colors makes it more vibrant, and lining up many blossoms looks beautiful.

It’s fun to make with children, so enjoy it as a seasonal decoration.

How to Fold a Randoseru Using 3 Sheets

[Origami] How to Make a Randoseru (Backpack) – Easy Origami Folding Instructions for School Entrance, First Graders, and Events
How to Fold a Randoseru Using 3 Sheets

This is an origami school backpack that you can actually put small items into.

Use two sheets of origami paper for the main body of the backpack, and one more sheet for the flap and shoulder straps.

For the flap, use a half-size sheet; for the shoulder straps, use a quarter-size sheet and then fold it in half again.

For the first sheet that becomes the main body, perform the “zabuton” fold three times.

After each fold, rotate the paper so you’re folding on a different face.

After the third fold, you should see four squares with crease lines on the reverse side; open these sections and squash-fold them into rectangles.

For the second sheet, continue folding so that you create three of these rectangles.

Combine it with the first sheet to form a box, then insert the flap into the one remaining rectangle.

Attach the narrowly folded shoulder straps to complete the backpack!
