We also like to embellish our paper crafts with pens or sticking on details such as kawaii eyes and facial features. There is also a difference between origami (which tends to use a square piece of paper and folding techniques) and kirigami (which can use any shaped paper and requires a little cutting too).īut I find when it comes to kids, doing a mix of the two is best. I hope you love these fun origami kids ideas as much as we do! The difference between Origami and Kirigami
ANIMAL ORIGAMI BOOKMARK HOW TO
Starting off and learning origami is all about the RIGHT projects to begin, for example making Origami Corner Bookmarks is a great way to get beginners started to learn how to do Origami! Don’t expect to be able to make origami cranes straight away. I have a lot of carers of dementia patients, that love these easy origami projects too. Many origami patterns are actually quite forgiving and great for kids of all ages. It was all about finding the RIGHT origami beginners project to get you started. But then I realised this wasn’t the case. As you have to be super neat and follow so many instructions to creat a finished origami project. I used to think that Origami was too hard. Please get in touch and send photos via my social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as: The Crafty Hare UK or you can post your photo by replying on the MFT posts.So many cute origami projects for kids! These ideas are fun, cute and simple! Great for beginners. As always I would love to see any of your creations. If you have any ideas or would like me to try and use certain materials that you might have at home, then please do get in touch. You can also experiment and make all sorts of different animals! Here are some others I have made in the past. I made one with pens and one with pencils. Now all that is left is to colour them in. You might need to adjust these a little so they look even. You should be left with two ear shapes sticking out. Lastly, and this bit can be a bit tricky, you fold each side backwards into the centre space so the new fold sits over the fold of the paper underneath.

Next with those two points that should be facing the top you need to fold them outwards and slightly sloping downward so the shape of the two folds looks like a V. Now fold the two outer points back up to meet the top point again. Next you open up the folds again and then take just the top piece of paper and fold it downwards so it meets the bottom edge.

Make sure you have the fold at the bottom and take the point on the right and bring it up to meet the point at the top. You should now be left with a folded over triangle shape. Then cut away the remaining paper along the side. Next with one of the pieces I folded it diagonally up from the corner to the opposite edge. You will now have two pieces of paper so can make two book marks! I used a sheet of A4 paper so will give the instructions based on this but please adjust if you are using another size of paper.įirstly, I folded the paper in half and then cut down the crease. The first thing you need to do is make your paper into a square shape. If any of you came along to the Mary Frances Trust’s 25th anniversary event at Denbies last September, then you might remember how to make them!


Today I would like to show you how to make these really cute bookmarks.
