[1 Sheet Origami] How to Fold a Spinning Top You Can Display and Play With | Origami: How to Make a Spinning Top

This is a spinning top you can make using steps similar to the classic crane.

Please prepare a toothpick-like twig for the handle and axle.

Prepare one sheet of origami, fold it into a triangle twice, then squash the pocketed part into a square.

Next, crease and change the shape into a diamond.

Up to this point, it’s the same as the crane, right? Turn a layer of the paper to change the face, then fold up the bottom corners on both sides to make the origami into a triangle.

Now that you should have four triangles on the sides, make a mountain fold along each triangle’s center line and collapse it sideways, flattening it so each triangle becomes half its size.

When it looks like a pinwheel, flip the origami over and fold the collapsed sections inward to create a spiral pattern.

Insert the toothpick-like twig into the center, and it’s complete.

How to fold a playable spinning topNEW!

[Easy Origami] How to Fold a Spinning Top Origami Spinning Top 종이접기 팽이 折纸 陀螺 Papiroflexia Peonza Playable

Here’s a simple spinning top idea made with two sheets of origami paper.

If you can do the “zabuton fold,” where you fold all four corners toward the center, you can make it.

Use the first sheet for the body of the top and the second sheet for the handle.

For the body, do one zabuton fold, then flip the paper over and fold the same way.

Flip the paper over once more and do another zabuton fold.

Then fold the four corners that have gathered on the back outward into triangles, and the body is done.

For the handle, do the zabuton fold three times in a row without flipping, then valley-fold along the diagonal and press it flat.

Insert the handle into the inner, folded-back section of the body to complete the top.

Cute to display! A flat spinning topNEW!

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!

Spinning Top Origami Folding Method, Easy and Fun! Let’s Make an Origami Spinning Top

Here’s an easy and cool way to fold a spinning top.

Please prepare three sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half into a square twice.

Open it and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open it, fold it like a boat, then squash it into a square.

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 topNEW!

[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.

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.

First, prepare two square sheets of origami paper, and place one with the colored side facing down.

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!
