Stylish star box

[Origami] How to Make a Stylish Star Box 🌟 Cute Star-Shaped Trinket Holder

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold the right edge to align with the top and bottom edges to make a crease.

Fold the left corner to the center point of the crease, then fold it back along the crease.

Next, align the right bottom edge with the folded-back crease and fold, then fold the paper in half so the shapes overlap neatly.

Using scissors, cut off the excess along the lowest diagonal line to make a pentagon.

Open the paper and fold all the pentagon’s corners inward, then fold the newly formed corners in the same way.

Turn the paper over, make creases by folding along the straight lines that connect each corner, and use these creases to raise the sides and form a star shape.

3D! Star-shaped accessory case

Crush to store! How to make a 3D star-shaped small-item holder! Cute origami box

You can flatten and store it when not in use! It’s a star-shaped trinket box.

Fold the origami in half, then in half again to make a square.

After creasing, open it back to the half-folded state, align both side edges to the center line to crease, then unfold.

Fold the two bottom corners up to the outer crease, then fold again so the new creases align with the center line.

In this state, trim off the unnecessary top portion, and the origami becomes a hexagon.

Fold the edges of the hexagon inward, crease the center of the origami into a hexagon, then keep adding creases as you collapse it into a smaller hexagon.

Finally, fold the center area outward to make the opening of the container, press the sides inward to form a star shape, and you’re done!

wastebasket

[Origami] Wastebasket Tanabata Decoration – 1 Sheet of Origami, Easy

Here’s how to make the classic Tanabata decoration, the “wastebasket.” Fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle three times.

Hold it so that the folded edge is at the bottom, and make six evenly spaced cuts with scissors from the bottom toward the top.

Be careful not to cut all the way through—leave about 5 mm uncut at the top.

Turn the paper upside down, and again make cuts from the bottom, leaving 5 mm uncut, but this time insert your scissors between the slits you made earlier.

Carefully unfold the paper, thread a hanging string through so that it scoops up all four corners, and you’re done.

Place small paper scraps inside and hang it up as a decoration.

Heart ornament

[Origami] Heart Tanabata Decoration – 1 sheet of origami paper, easy and cute

On a sheet of origami paper, make creases to divide it into eight equal vertical sections, then cut along the creases with scissors.

Take four of the eight strip-shaped pieces and fold them in half with the white side facing outward.

Take one folded piece and staple it slightly above the crease, then curl both ends outward and bring them back to the crease to form a heart.

Keeping it in that position, layer one long strip on each side, then place another folded strip from below and staple them together.

Curl those outward again to form another heart.

Repeat this process to create a cute garland of connected hearts.

Lucky Star

[Easy] Lucky Star Made with Origami!

Here’s an idea for making a star using just a long strip of paper.

Prepare a 15 cm sheet of origami paper, fold it into 8 equal vertical sections to mark the lines, then cut along them with scissors.

Take two of the strips and glue their ends together to make one long strip.

Tie one end into a single knot, adjust it into a pentagon shape, and flatten it.

Tuck the shorter end inside the pentagon to secure it.

Then wrap the long end around along the edges of the pentagon.

When you’ve wrapped it to the end, tuck the tip into the pentagon.

Finally, pinch in the five sides to create a puffed, star shape.
