A Japanese parasol with cherry blossoms made of origami

[Origami Cherry Blossom Umbrellas] How to Make Traditional Japanese Umbrellas with Origami

A cherry-blossom paper umbrella perfect for spring.

Fold the origami square in half twice to create cross-shaped crease lines.

Next, fold the paper along the cross lines.

Flip it over, fold it in half, then sketch a curved outline on the paper and cut along the line with scissors.

When you open it, it will be a cherry blossom shape; now we’ll form it into an umbrella.

After a quick check, adjust the mountain and valley folds of the petals and remake them.

Match each petal’s mountain fold to a valley fold, and repeat this fold a total of five times.

Using a bamboo skewer, pinch the mountain folds together and define the valley crease lines.

Carefully shape the umbrella portion, make a hole in the center, insert and pass a stick through, then wrap masking tape around the tip to finish.

Make lots—so cute! A 3D umbrella

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Easy 3D Umbrella with One Sheet of Origami Paper [Craft] Origami Umbrella

A three-dimensional umbrella made from a single sheet of origami is a fun item for the rainy season.

It’s easy enough for children and seniors to make, so why not give it a try? Fold the origami sheet in half into a square twice, then open the pocketed part into a triangle.

Open it along the center crease, spread it along the fold lines, and flatten.

Repeat this four times, then trim off any white overhanging parts.

After cutting a small tip off the end of the umbrella, attach a straw to finish.

It’s easier to attach if you collapse the umbrella slightly and secure it with tape.

It’s also fun to use your favorite colors or patterned origami paper.

A chic and cute leaf umbrella for adults

[Origami] Decorative “Leaf Umbrella” ~Original Origami by Oriya Komachi~

The umbrellas we usually use might be replaced by leaves for tiny creatures.

Just imagining such a small world of living things makes us feel gentle, doesn’t it? This time, let’s make a leaf umbrella with origami.

Prepare one sheet of regular-size origami and one quarter-size sheet.

Fold the regular-size sheet in half twice into a square, then open it once to a rectangle and shape it into a leaf.

Some steps are a bit complex, but proceed carefully while making firm creases.

Fold the quarter-size sheet into a thin strip to create the stem, then combine it with the leaf to finish.

How about also making creatures like a snail and displaying them together?

[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.
