Origami: How to fold a Hamburger Set

Hamburger is a quick and popular food among all generations

from children to adults.★

It’s so delicious to put a piece of cutlet, fried food, cheese and lots of vegetables

other than beef, isn’t it?♪

I’ll show you how to fold a hamburger set this time.

Let’s make hamburger and French fries with origami paper!★

How to fold a hamburger

We will make buns, beef and lettuce separately.

The ways of folding a bun and beef are the same.

Let’s make them with different colored paper.♪

1. We’ll make a bun and beef. Get two sheets of origami paper ready.

Fold it in half and make a crease.

2. Fold both sides to the middle crease. (a valley fold)

3. Fold it in half.

4. Fold both corners along the dotted lines and make creases.

5. Fold those corners, putting them inside along the dotted lines.

6. Fold only the first layer along the dotted lines. (a mountain fold)

7. Fold both corners of the second layer, putting them inside to make a hexagon.

8. Make another one. (one for a bun, one for the beef)

9. Next, we will make lettuce. Get a 1/4-cut sheet of origami paper.

Cut it along the black line with scissors, like the picture below.

10. And it’s done!

11. Put the beef and lettuce between the buns and it’s done!

You can draw a dotted pattern on the buns too!

If you cut a red-colored sheet or origami paper round,

you can make a slice of tomato.

If you cut a yellow-colored sheet or origami paper square,

you can make a slice of cheese.

You can make various kinds of hamburgers, in these ways.★

How to fold French fries

You have to have French fries in your hamburger set, right?

Now, we can make it!★

Even though it’s easy to fold, if you can make it, it will look like real French fries!♪

1. First, we will make a cut which we put French fries in.

Get a sheet of origami paper ready, and fold it in half, along the dotted line.

2. Fold it along the dotted line lightly.

Make a stiff crease for only the part with a red circle.

3. Put it back and put the bottom tip onto the crease and fold it,

as picture No.4 shows.

4. Fold it the same way for the other side too.

5. Fold the top corner along the dotted line. (a valley fold)

6. Put only the top sheet back.

7. Insert it into the slit.

8. And the cup is done!

9. Next, we will make French fries.  Get a rectangle sheet of origami paper ready.

(The picture below is a half-cut sheet of origami paper.)

Fold it in half.

10. Fold it in half again.

11. Fold it in half again.

12. Fold it in half again.

Even though it might be hard to fold, make each crease!

13. Put it back all the way.

14. Fold it along the creases that you made,with a valley fold (red dotted lines)

→a valley fold (red dotted lines)→a mountain fold (blue dotted lines).

15. And it’s done!

16. Put it into the cut, and the French fries are done!

It’s the best origami if you want to play hamburger store.♪
