How to fold customizable game pieces

[Origami] How to make an easy, well-spinning top — customizable, too

This simple-design top consists of three parts: the upper and lower bodies, and the handle.

For the top part, fold the origami sheet into a square twice to make creases, then unfold it and fold all the edges clockwise starting from the right edge.

After folding the top edge last, tuck the right section underneath the first edge you folded.

Then flip the paper over and do one cushion fold to finish.

The bottom part can be made using just the basic cushion fold.

For the handle, make one cushion fold, then add fine creases and fold it so the corners stand up, forming a pinwheel shape.

After stacking and assembling the parts, insert any shape you like between the upper and lower parts to customize it to your taste!

How to fold a spinning top that also works as a push pop

Playable Origami: Easy Way to Make a Spinning Top from a Single Sheet – How to Make an Easy Origami Spinning Top

Five ideas for spinning tops you can make from a single sheet of origami paper are introduced.

The first is the base folding method that serves as the foundation for all the tops.

After performing a double “zabuton” fold, make creases by folding each of the four edges up to align with the edge of the top triangle.

Using those creases, stand the edges up and press in the center so the piece can spin like a top.

The other tops have the same overall shape, but by varying the folding method, they create different patterns inside the top.

These have no handle and spin when you give the rim a strong push, so even small children can enjoy them.

Cute to display! A flat spinning top

How to fold a flat spinning top made with origami

Perfect for wall decorations, too! This is a flat spinning top made from a single sheet of origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and rotate it so the crease runs vertically.

Next, fold both lower edges in to meet the crease, then flip the paper over.

Fold the top corner down into a triangle to make a crease and unfold it, then fold the top corner down again along that crease.

Using the crease, make two roll folds on the same section, then flip the paper over.

Fold the bottom corner up so it sticks out slightly above the top, then fold the left and right corners to shape it like a spinning top.

Turn the origami to the front, and fold both sides to the back so the colored section forms a triangle.

Finally, make a step fold at the bottom corner to finish!

Using the center as the axis, fold up the edges of each of the four squares.

Open the folded sections and squash-fold them.

Use the remaining two sheets to fold the center and the top’s axle.

Align the center and the axle, and you’re done! If you make them in various sizes, they also make great decorations, so I recommend it.

Super easy! How to fold a spinning top

[Origami] Easy spinning top you can make with a single sheet / How to make a spinning top with origami. #shorts

Here’s an easy way to fold a spinning top that even small children can make.

First, fold it into a triangle twice and open it back up.

Once open, fold all four corners toward the center.

Fold each of the four edges slightly inward.

Using the creases you made, fold the center corners outward.

Fold the triangular parts inward.

Finally, make firm creases so that the square lines become the top’s axis.

If it spins well, you’re done! The folding method is simple, so if it doesn’t spin well, try sharpening the creases or making small adjustments.

Let’s blow and play! How to fold a blow-top (spinning top you spin by blowing)

Origami Top (Koma) / How to Make a Blowing Spinning Top from Origami

This is a fun blow-top origami that spins when you blow on it.

Fold it in half into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.

Open it up, then fold it in half into a square and continue with the “zabuton” (cushion) fold.

Using the closed side as the axis, fold up the left and right edges on both sides.

Fold down the triangles on the two faces.

Make two of these and fit them together.

Try blowing on it with a “fuu—.” Blow strongly or gently and enjoy the differences in how it spins!
