Perfect for the rainy season! How to fold an umbrella

[Origami for the Rainy Season] How to Make an Umbrella with Audio Instructions ☆ Origami Umbrella Tutorial – June Decoration

Here’s a super cute way to fold a paper umbrella that’ll make you want to create lots and decorate with them.

Let’s use two 15-cm square sheets of origami paper.

Before you start, take one of the sheets and cut it into two strips, each one-quarter the width (long, narrow strips).

Using the uncut sheet, make the part where the umbrella opens—the canopy.

The pre-cut long strips will be used to make the handle and the shaft.

Although you assemble three separate parts, the steps are very simple, so it’s easy to complete.

It also looks adorable with patterned origami, so try making it with different papers!

Four sunflowers

[Single-Sheet Connected Origami] Sunflower – 1 sheet | origami art sunflowers 🌻 | flower

This is a “single-sheet connected origami” project where you make three sunflowers from one sheet of origami paper.

First, crease the yellow origami so it’s divided into 16 equal sections.

Fold it in half horizontally, then in half again, and again—this will easily create 16 equal divisions.

Do the same vertically to make 16 equal divisions in that direction as well.

Make cuts from the center of the paper out to the second crease in each direction, and cut the sheet into four sections.

From there, continue folding to complete the three flowers.

It’s lovely to write a message in the remaining one section.

Draw patterns on each sunflower to create your own original sunflowers!

Origami sunflower seed

sunflower seed origami

You’ve finished the yellow petals of the sunflower, but aren’t sure what to do for the brown center? This will help! Prepare a sheet of brown origami paper.

First, fold it in half into a square twice, then unfold to make crease lines.

Fold each corner toward the central crease, then fold toward the center two more times to form a small square.

After that, just draw a grid pattern and you’re done! Combine it with the yellow sunflower petals you made separately from origami, or with a drawing of a sunflower that has only the petals.
