Today I'm sharing the most adorable and easy origami craft project with you. It's cute. (Or should I say kawaii?) It's simple to make. And it's fun to decorate! Ta-da! Grab the kids because we're folding these super sweet origami paper dolls! How to Fold Sweet and Simple Origami Paper Dolls with Kids This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a tiny bit of grocery money from each purchase made. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Inspired by Spring, cherry blossoms, and my lifetime love with all these kawaii and Japanese, I came up with the design for these little paper dolls the other night. And I fell in love with them. They're so cute!! And here's how you make them! Materials Needed: Origami Paper (I like this brand a lot because there is a variety of colors AND they are not colored on both sides. I've purchased a couple of other types from Amazon that weren't white on one side and that totally bummed me out.) Scissors Random stickers (I love using colorful circle stickers!) Makers (I used Sharpies because they don't smear) Tape Washi Tape (It's time to pull out the collection!) How to fold a Paper Doll Head: Step 1: Fold you paper in half and then in half again to create 4 identically sized squares. Cut out the squares. Each little square will make one paper doll head. Step 2: Fold down one side of the square. (This will be your bangs.) Step 3: Fold both sides in. Step 4: Fold back your two top corners. Step 5: Fold back your bottom side. Step 6: Fold back your two bottom corners and you've got a cute paper doll face! How to Fold an Easy Origami Paper Doll Body: Step 1: Fold the paper along a diagonal. Step 2: Unfold your fold and then fold again along the other diagonal. Step 3: When you open up your paper you should see this. (We did these initial steps to help with a trickier step later on.) Step 4: Fold the paper in half. Step 5: Fold the rectangle in half again to make a smaller square shape. Step 6: Remember those initial diagonal folds we made before? Here's where they come in use! Put your hands into the open side of the your mini square. Push down.... Step 7: Keep pushing down and your paper should collapse into a triangle shape. Step 8: Do the same thing (Steps 6+7) to collapse the other side into a triangle shape. Step 9: Fold up the left and right corners of the top triangle. Step 10: Take your top right triangular flap and fold it over to the left. Step 11: Fold the side of the larger back triangle over so that the slanty side meets the middle. Step 12: Return the flap that you moved in step 10 back to its original place. Step 13: Repeat steps 9-12 with the other side. You should now see this. Step 14: Fold down the two top sides (to make your doll's arms a bit more slender.) Step 15: Now fold the bottom two corners like this to create little paper doll feet. Flip your paper over and you'll see this cute origami paper doll body! Decorate and tape your head and body pieces. If you want, cut slits into your doll's bangs to create paper "hair." And you're all set! By the way, I didn't mention it before, but these paper dolls also function as finger puppets too!

And if you want to keep the good times going, check out these nifty origami Pokemon! (They're made using the same body as these dolls!)

Back in the day, folding paper fortune-tellers were one of the greatest possessions a child could have, providing hours of fun and enough practice to (maybe) tell someone's fortune. Folding paper and drawing on it might not be a new concept, however, artist Ben Avlis managed to breathe a new life into it by creating stunning transforming art pieces.

Many people see art as something with many barriers to entry – maybe the materials are expensive, maybe you don't have the space, or maybe you think it's difficult, requiring many specialized tools. Sometimes that's true, but the artists here have created incredible works using almost nothing but paper and scissors or knives.
I recently rediscovered the charm of little paper flexagons, known in the cardmaking world as never-ending or infinity cards. I find it fascinating to unfold each page, revealing the card maker’s vision beneath, until I magically end up back where I started. Infinity cards also make an ideal mixed-media substrate. I use them to make…

I realized shortly after my first Schoolyard Origami post that there was one more thing I folded as a student that was not on the list. But instead of just taking on one more thing, I thought I would also include some diagrams showing how to fold some of these schoolyard models. ---Secret Note--- The beauty of this model is that a student can write a full page note on one side of the sheet (8.5in x 11in), then fold it into a neat, manageable envelope that will not unfold accidentally. In fact, it is a little frustrating to close it up so easily, and then find it difficult to open it back up. I folded this in school, but have not yet seen it emerge at the school where I am working. ---Diagrams--- I have drawn up some diagrams for the paper claw, paper football and the secret note. SCHOOLYARD PAPER CLAW SCHOOLYARD PAPER FOOTBALL SCHOOLYARD SECRET NOTE I have also posted them on the Diagrams Page. [Photos taken by me of models I folded.]

This blog post was originally going to be about the different types of rulers and why some are better than others for book folding. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it's the accuarcy that a ruler can help us to achieve that's the important thing here, not the ruler itself. So I decided to broaden the subject to include other factors that influence accuracy. Read on and I'll share what I have learned so far in my quest for the perfect book fold. Clear Your Workspace of

⭐️Stardog Puzzle Purse!💫 by e.k.mosley (Letter or Valentine) Origami This was my first time making a puzzle purse and I had so much fun painting each little picture on all the hidden folds. These beautiful little paper creations can be dated back to Japanese paper folding techniques called tatogami and origami from Japan’s Heian era (782-1185 CE). In Japan they were called Tato and used to hold small objects like buttons, stamps, needles, thread and other small bits and bobs. But when they started coming over to the west, people began drawing pictures on them and using them to write secret messages and love letters. The Victorian’s called them Puzzle Purses and were particularly fond of gifting them on Valentine’s Day. Today puzzle purses remain a fun way to send a magical letter to friends, family and loved one all year round, for all sorts of holidays and special occasions. I hope you enjoy folding your own Stardog Puzzle Purse to keep little treasures in. • Photos are of the original handprinted puzzle purse and the front and back of the digital files • Format - pdf download (and jpgs of front and back) • Pdf can be printed as many times as you wish and on any paper you like. It will print and fold well on standard printer paper but can also be printed on to heavier art papers (250gsm-300gsm) • Print either double sided or as two sheets and stick back to back. • To fold please look up instructions on how to fold a victorian puzzle purse.

Sounds like an anomaly, right? When I was a kid folding frogs, my mother gave me origami paper that was most certainly dry. But the works below by Vietnamese-American artist Giang Dinh were folded with one *wet* piece of paper. It's a technique called "Wet-Folding", invented by the great Japanese origami master Akira Yushizawa (pictured right).
