firefly

How to fold and make a firefly with origami | Origami Firefly

Fireflies are insects that magically color the night in early summer.

How about making one out of origami? You’ll mainly use black origami paper for the body, and prepare a little red paper for the head and yellow paper for the glowing tail.

The folding for the body is relatively simple, so you should be able to finish it quickly.

At the end, attach a small circle cut from the yellow paper to the tail, and it’s done.

It looks lovely to make many small ones and stick them on a window, or place them against a background that mimics a waterside scene.

It’s a seasonal origami craft that lets you feel a touch of coolness.

Morning glory flowers and buds

How to make Origami Morning Glory Flowers and Buds

We’d like to share an idea for making morning glory flowers and buds out of origami, a classic symbol of summer.

By combining the flower and the bud, you’ll create a gentle piece full of seasonal charm.

Carefully folding the rounded petals and tiny bud shapes naturally engages your fingertips and makes for good fine-motor exercise.

It may even help prevent cognitive decline, so it’s highly recommended.

By changing the colors and sizes, the same morning glory can really show its individuality.

You can also use them for wall decorations or card-making, and just looking at them brings a refreshing feeling.

Let’s brighten up summer with cheerful origami morning glories!

Simple goldfish

How to make an origami goldfish – easy | Origami Goldfish #origami #easyorigami #goldfish #shorts

Though origami goldfish may sound difficult, this version is relatively easy to make.

To briefly explain the steps: start by folding a kabuto (samurai helmet), which is a popular and commonly folded model, and stop partway through.

Turn it sideways and squash-fold it.

Make a small cut where the fins will be, then reverse-fold that section to finish.

Try using colors that resemble real goldfish, like red, orange, or black.

It’s also fun to let them “swim” on blue construction paper, or cut strips of origami to make algae and stick them on a glass window for a cool, refreshing look.
