It can be three-dimensional or flat! How to fold a ribbonNEW!

Depending on where you display it, you can change the final look.
First, make diagonal X-shaped creases, then fold in from both sides toward the center crease twice each.
Fold it in half at the center, make a triangular crease in the middle, then open both sides into triangles.
On both sides, fold one sheet of the paper horizontally, and fold the top and bottom upward respectively.
On the back of the ribbon’s center, make a small triangular fold, then spread the parts you folded up outward.
If you finish by puffing up the center of the ribbon, it becomes three-dimensional; if you flatten it, it becomes a flat ribbon.
Try making lots of ribbons in different colors and patterns and decorate with them!
In conclusion
Origami ribbons charm with a touch of elegance born from a single sheet of paper.
Even with simple folds, the result looks polished, making them surprisingly versatile—as accents for gifts or decorations around your room.
Enjoy the pleasant rhythm of working with your hands, and try folding plenty of cute ribbons that are uniquely yours!
