[Origami] Hand spinner

With a single sheet of origami! How to fold a super-spinning hand spinner — with voice commentary / ORIGAMI [Hand spinner] with subtitles

Let’s make it with origami! Here are some ideas for an origami hand spinner.

A hand spinner is a small toy that you spin with your palm or fingers.

It became a worldwide craze around 2017, so many parents may already know it.

This time, let’s make a hand spinner out of origami.

All you need is origami paper and glue.

If you blow on it, you can enjoy watching it spin around and around.

When giving it to a child with small hands, it’s a good idea to adjust the size of the origami paper.

A new sensation! Shuriken you don’t throw! Here’s an idea for defeating yokai with a shuriken launching device.

It’s fun and fresh—shuriken you don’t even throw by hand! To make the launcher, prepare cardboard, wooden chopsticks, craft glue, and rubber bands.

Fold construction paper to make the target.

A device that lets kids who made their own shuriken play even more enthusiastically is really appealing, right? Adjust the size of the target to increase the difficulty!

Let’s defeat the aliens!

[1] Target Shooting Game: Aim and Hit with the Cup Noodle Rocket – Target Shooting Game #shorts

Harness your creativity and make it with construction paper! Here are ideas for “Defeat the Aliens!” In the video, we use a cup-ramen rocket, but it could also work as a target for throwing stars! What you’ll need: construction paper in your favorite colors, tape or glue, scissors, pens, and round stickers.

What kind of image comes to mind when you think of an alien? Maybe a tall, slender green one, or a round, light-blue one—everyone has a different idea.

Use construction paper to freely create that image.

It really sparks creativity!

Sweet potato digging craft

Let's make a papercraft for sweet potato digging! An easy fall craft you can make just by sticking things together, using an empty tissue box and newspaper.

Here’s a craft idea that lets you enjoy sweet potato digging indoors.

Cut newspaper into A5-size pieces, roll them up tightly, and tie them with string to make three “potatoes.” Wrap them in purple origami paper to create realistic sweet potatoes.

Cut leaf shapes (heart-shaped) and attach them to the potatoes to make the leaf parts.

Cover an empty tissue box with brown origami paper to resemble soil, then place the potatoes inside—now you’re ready.

When you pull the leaf part, the sweet potato pops out from the “soil.” Using your hands helps stimulate the brain and can serve as rehabilitation, and the charm is that you can enjoy a seasonal tradition while playing.

It’s a craft that’s fun to make and fun to play with, letting you feel the spirit of autumn.

jack-in-the-box

[Demon Slayer] DIY at home: Remake a tissue box into a fun jack-in-the-box with a springing butterfly!! / Demon Slayer

How about a jack-in-the-box featuring your favorite character? You’ll need a tissue box, rubber bands, origami paper, and a printout of your favorite character.

First, cut out the rim of the box and make a slit near the center.

Fold it up to form the box.

Decorate the box with origami paper as you like.

Next, make the popping contents.

Cut a toilet paper roll into three pieces, make slits, and thread rubber bands through them.

The rubber bands will make them spring.

Attach your favorite character to these pieces.

To prevent them from popping out too soon, pack as many as you can into the box and close it gently.

As soon as it opens, the characters will spring up—just like a real jack-in-the-box! If you make one using a grandchild’s favorite anime character and give it as a gift, they’re sure to be delighted.

Pitfall Game

[Wakuwaku-san’s Craft Workshop] Let’s make a pitfall game using a tissue box!

Let’s make a simple pitfall game you can enjoy using an empty tissue box.

Mark both ends of the box, cut them, then tape them back together to restore the original box shape.

Draw circles on the surface of the box and cut holes with scissors.

These holes become pitfalls, and the key to the game is to carefully maneuver so the marble doesn’t fall in.

If you set a rule to cover the marble with a case and move it from start to goal, it becomes a simple yet deep game.

The fine hand movements help train finger dexterity, and you can also expect benefits for concentration and decision-making.

By adjusting the crafting method, you can tune the difficulty, making it a game with a wide range of enjoyable ideas.

A pinwheel made with a clear file

How to Make a Colorful Pinwheel [Clear File]

Let me introduce a pinwheel that spins in the wind.

Prepare a hanger, a clear file folder, pliers, scissors, and a felt-tip pen, and let’s get started.

Cut the clear file into a square and draw lines in an X shape to create the base for the blades.

Mark the center and the four corners, then punch holes.

Following the X lines, make one slit at a time with scissors, cutting toward the center.

Lift the four cut corners one by one, align them at the center, and staple to secure—this completes the blade base.

Insert a straw as the axle and attach the blades to the center of the hanger, then secure with pliers.

Your spinning pinwheel is complete!
