You can add as many pages as you like! Let me introduce an album idea made with origami.

All you need are origami paper in your favorite colors or patterns, glue, double-sided tape, and quarter-size message cards or photos that fit the origami.

How about giving a memory-filled album in spring, the season of meetings and farewells? What’s more, this idea makes it easy to customize because you can freely add pages.

It would also be lovely to finish by wrapping the album with a ribbon.

Give it a try!

Items to celebrate children’s growth! Let me introduce an origami cherry blossom medal.

You’ll need pink origami paper or double-sided colored origami paper, ribbon, scissors, glue, and tape.

It’s perfect not only for school entrance and graduation ceremonies, but also to mark how much children have grown in mind and body over the year.

How about making a cherry blossom medal out of origami at such times? The step where you open the petals is a bit tricky, so it’s best to work on it together with a parent or teacher.

Attach a ribbon to the finished medal so it can be worn around the neck—you can have fun customizing it, too!

Confectionery box with hina-arare (doll festival rice crackers)

[Origami] Hinamatsuri Easy Origami Candy Box with Hina-Arare Inside | How to Make | Kid-Friendly Instructions [Origami]

You can make hina-arare with origami too! Here’s an idea for a candy box that comes with hina-arare.

What you’ll need: black origami paper, green origami paper, pink origami paper, and yellow origami paper.

First, let’s make the candy box using the black origami paper.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, but if you get confused when unfolding the paper, it’s a good idea to work together with a teacher or guardian.

Next, tear the green, pink, and yellow origami paper into small pieces and roll them into little balls to make the hina-arare.

Finally, put the rolled hina-arare into the candy box, and you’re done!

Japanese bush warbler

Mikarin Easy Origami: Nightingale

Here’s an idea for making a bush warbler—famous as a spring bird—out of origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to create an X-shaped crease, then place the paper so it forms a diamond.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet the center to make a crease, then open it.

Fold the bottom corner up along the crease you just made, and then fold the paper in half into a triangle along the central crease.

Fold both ends upward to align with the lower corner of the small triangle at the top, then fold the corners of those raised sections down to meet the center line.

Flip the paper over, fold the top corner toward you, then fold it back so about 5 mm sticks out, and rotate the paper 90 degrees.

Fold the top and bottom corners slightly inward, then fold the paper in half along the center line—and your bush warbler is complete!

hishi mochi (diamond-shaped layered rice cake)

Hinamatsuri Origami: Easy Hishi-mochi Folding Method [With Audio Commentary]

Here’s an origami idea for making a layered hishi-mochi by stacking three identical parts.

It’s perfect as a Hinamatsuri decoration—why not give it a try? Fold the origami paper into a triangle, open it, then fold the top and bottom corners to meet the center line.

Next, fold each of the four side edges in turn toward the center line in the same way.

That completes one part.

Stack three of these parts, inserting each into the flap at the top corner made in the first step, and glue them together.

Finally, fold the corners on both sides inward on all three layers at once, and you’re done! Be sure to stack them in the order of pink on top, then white, then light green.

dandelion

[Origami] Lovely Dandelion ✨ How to make a paper dandelion #민들레 #蒲公英 #Dandelion #পুঁতি #Easy #HowToFold #Origami #折り紙 #摺紙 #Paper #DIY

Here’s an origami idea for dandelions that bloom with yellow flowers as it gets warmer in March.

You’ll use two sheets of origami paper, one yellow and one green.

First, for the flower: fold the paper twice into a square and twice into a triangle to make crease lines, then collapse it into a shape where two triangles overlap.

Fold the four flaps on the left and right diagonally upward, and the flower is done! Cut the green paper into four squares; fold one into a thin strip for the stem and use two to make the leaves.

For each leaf, fold the paper into a triangle to make crease lines and open it.

Fold the two right edges in along the creases.

Flip the paper over and fold the right edge toward the center line the same way to finish the leaf.

Glue all the parts together, and you’ll have a spring-like dandelion!

horsetail

How to easily make horsetail

Let’s fold a cute horsetail (tsukushi) that appears in spring! For this, prepare a long, narrow sheet of origami by cutting a regular square into about one-quarter width.

First, crease the paper with a cross (both horizontal and vertical center creases).

Place the paper vertically, then fold the bottom up to meet the horizontal center line.

Flip the paper over, and from the bottom edge, fold the upper layer back toward you at about 1 cm.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to the left so it’s horizontal, then fold the top and bottom right edges in to meet the center line.

At this point, the part you folded back will probably catch; squash it into a triangle to tidy it up.

Finally, slightly fold the four corners of the left-hand square inward, and you’re done.

Finish by drawing a face and patterns with a pen.
