Origami: How to fold a Tangerine

SPONSORED LINK
 

 

Winter is the best season for tangerines, isn’t it?

I bet you realize that winter has come,

when you eat them at a Kotatsu (a table over an electric heater).

 

Let’s try to fold a sweet and delicious tangerine with origami paper!

 

If you also fold a rice cake,

they will be “Kagami-mochi” (round rice-cake with a tangerine on top),

which is a necessary item on New Year’s Day.

Why don’t you spend the New Year’s Day with origami “Kagami-mochi”?

You can fold the corners freely in Ver.1’s tangerine.

You can fold various shaped tangerines such as round and big ones,

or flat ones, depends on how you fold.

 

It’s interesting to see the pealed tangerine

when you open the bag parts, isn’t it?

It might be a good idea to draw on the white back parts inside too.

 

Also, you can change the width

when you fold it in No.1 of the third tangerine too.

 

Try various shaped tangerines.
