pill bug

“Origami” Easy! Pill Bug / Origami

Pill bugs are a huge hit with kids! Let me introduce an idea for making pill bugs out of origami.

All you need is origami paper in colors like gray or black.

When you think of pill bugs, you picture them in moist places, like under fallen leaves or stones.

Many children probably enjoy playing outside while searching for pill bugs, don’t they? The key to this method is the step where you make an accordion fold, shifting it slightly each time.

It captures the pill bug’s characteristics and gives a realistic finish!

Tulip (three-dimensional)

[Spring Origami] How to Fold a Tulip

They look just like real tulips! A perfect idea for spring.

Once you learn the 3D tulip, you can also make lovely bouquets.

The folding isn’t very difficult.

After making crease lines for a cross and an X, fold into a cushion fold.

Then fold it twice to form a triangle, and squash each side so that half of the triangle becomes a square.

Next, fold the left and right corners toward the center line, and fold the lower edges slightly inward to bring it closer to a tulip shape.

Finally, insert a finger from the top and open the inside to finish.

If you curl the petals outward by wrapping them around a bamboo skewer or similar, it will look even more like a tulip!
