Here’s how to fold a spinning top that twirls with just a light touch.

First, fold into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Fold all four corners to the center to set the creases.

Open it and turn to the front, then use the “Kannon” fold to make guiding creases.

Fold the corners along the creases so they overlap into a square.

Shape it into a three-dimensional form like a spinning top—this completes the shaft.

Using another sheet of origami paper, start from the “zabuton” fold to make the body.

Finally, stack the two pieces together and you’re done!
