Holds a lot! Backpack-style gift box

Spacious origami “randoseru-style gift” | How to make an origami backpack-shaped gift.

Make it with three sheets of origami! It’s a slightly larger randoseru (Japanese school backpack).

Fold two of the three sheets into the same shape for the main body, and use the remaining one to make the flap and shoulder straps.

First, fold the body sheet in half to make a crease and open it, then fold up the bottom edge to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so the folded section is on the left, then fold it in half aligning top and bottom.

Open it once the crease is made, and fold the top and bottom edges to the center crease.

When you open the top and bottom folds, you should see three crease lines on the left section you first folded; make cuts along the lower two of those three lines.

Make two of these and assemble them into a box shape, then attach the flap and shoulder straps to finish the backpack.

A long-tailed tit backpack

[Origami] How to Make a Long-tailed Tit’s Randoseru (School Backpack)

The illustration of the long-tailed tit is such a cute idea! You can make this with a single sheet of origami, but after creasing it, cut off the parts to be used for the lid and the shoulder straps with scissors.

Assemble the remaining part into a box to form the body.

For the long-tailed tit on the lid, use a piece of origami cut to one-quarter size.

Fold one corner on the short edge to round it, then fold it up so the white side shows, and draw the eyes and wing patterns with a pen.

It’s such a wonderful piece that makes you think, “I wish there were actually school backpacks like this!”

Papercut school backpack

[One sheet of origami] Easy! I tried cutting a cute paper-cut “Randoseru” (school backpack). How to cut a school bag with origami. Easy!

This is a paper-cutting craft where you fold origami in half and draw half of a school backpack (randoseru), then cut it out.

You can simply cut out the basic shape and the shoulder straps, but if you add some decorative patterns with a bit of care, it will look even nicer.

It’s easy to make, yet it’s a handy idea you can use in many situations, such as adding a creative touch to projects or making wall decorations.

Try making it with your favorite origami paper.

Writing a congratulatory message on the flap of the backpack is also recommended!

A school backpack made of paper packaging

[KitKat] Origami with paper packaging: Randoseru (Japanese school backpack) - KitKat origami school bag

You’ve probably seen snacks in plastic-free paper packages lately.

If your favorite package has switched to paper, why not use it to make a randoseru (Japanese school backpack)? From the package, cut out two squares, one half-size piece, and one quarter-size piece that’s then cut in half.

Use the square sheets to make the backpack body.

If you can fold the upper body of the traditional “yakko-san” model, you can finish this on your own.

Use the half-size piece for the flap, and use the remaining piece to make two shoulder straps.

Those just require folding in half and making narrow folds, so they’re easy!

♪ Original Song – Hoiku TV – Hoiku TV

Let’s make a corsage with just one sheet of origami paper! I’ll show you a simple idea.

All you need is origami paper in your favorite color, scissors, and glue or tape.

Corsages are cute to wear on special days, but many people might think they’re hard to make.

In that case, I recommend this simple corsage idea! Cut the origami paper in half, then accordion-fold each piece.

Finally, glue the pieces together—and you’re done! Attach it to your chest with a pin or tape for a festive look.

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!

dandelion

Spring Origami: Easy Dandelion Tutorial 🌼 Perfect for Wall Decorations or Gifts! How to Make a Paper Dandelion | Origami | Tsugigami

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!
