bamboo shoot

[Origami] How to fold a “Bamboo Shoot” <Yoshimoto Comedian>

Let’s make a spring seasonal vegetable! Here’s an idea for making a bamboo shoot out of origami.

All you need is brown origami paper.

Bamboo shoots are rich in fiber and nutrients and grow quickly—why not try creating one with origami? First, you’ll mainly be making creases.

Next, take on the key step: the inside reverse fold.

Finally, tuck the paper to the back to shape it into a bamboo shoot, and you’re done.

It’s a fun idea that captures the layered skins characteristic of bamboo shoots!

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!

Rapeseed blossom wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Rapeseed Flower Wreath – Cute Folding Method – Spring Origami – March/April Origami – Easy for Kids [Origami]

Soothed by gentle colors! Let me share an idea for a canola blossom wreath.

What you’ll need: light green, green, and yellow origami paper, plus tape or glue.

Canola flowers that bloom in spring are delicate and charming, aren’t they? Making them with origami gives them an even softer feel, so I highly recommend it.

Since the canola blossoms are made from paper cut into 1/16 size, some children may find the folding a bit difficult.

In that case, please work together with a teacher or guardian.

cherry blossom petals

[Origami] Easy Cherry Blossom Petal – Cute How-To – Spring Origami – March/April Origami – Not Difficult, Kids Can Make It [Origami]

Let’s make beautiful Japanese flowers with origami! Today, I’ll show you how to make cherry blossom petals.

You’ll need pink origami paper and scissors.

This idea uses origami cut into quarter-size pieces, so with a 15 cm sheet, you can make four petals—that’s the charm! The steps are simple, but since you’ll be using scissors, please work in an environment where a guardian or teacher can supervise.

Once the cherry blossom petals are finished, it would be lovely to use them to decorate your room!

Sakura wreath

[Easy Origami] How to Make a 3D Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Wreath with a Message Card – Wall Decoration [Graduation/School Entrance]

Beautiful three-dimensional petals! Introducing a cherry blossom wreath.

Here’s what you’ll need: pink origami paper, green origami paper, white origami paper, scissors, glue, craft adhesive, and a compass.

Making 3D flowers might sound difficult at first, right? In this idea, you cut origami into 1/16-size pieces and create each petal individually, then assemble the cherry blossoms using glue or craft adhesive.

By attaching the leaves as well, you’ll complete an adorable cherry blossom wreath!

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

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!

Cute Randoseru Card

You can write a message on the inside of the flap and even put candy in the inner pocket! Here’s a perfect randoseru (school backpack) card for gifts.

You’ll make the body, the flap, and the shoulder straps.

Use 15 cm origami paper for the body and flap, and use a sheet that’s half of a half (1/2, then halved again) for the shoulder straps.

For the body, fold the bottom edge up to a point 3 cm from the top, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right edges to meet at the center line.

For the flap, fold the paper in half by overlapping the left and right sides, then fold both bottom corners into small triangles.

Tuck those triangles inward, insert the top part into the body, and finish assembling the backpack.

For the shoulder straps, just fold the origami in half and attach them!
