Origami: How to fold〇、×、♯、Graphic Flower

There are some illuminations on the window in one of my neighbors’ houses all year around.★

Of course, I want to do that too but when I think about reality,

I have to scream like, “OMG!!  Our electric bill!!!!!” Lol

Then I thought, “Maybe I can make something similar to that with origami paper!”.

This time, I folded kind of mysterious origami.

Be sure to have origami paper and scissors with you,

since we’ll rather cut than fold it this time!!❤

How to make〇、×、♯、Graphic Flower

１　Fold it in half to make a triangle.

２　Fold it in half to make another triangle.

３　And again, fold it in half to make the third triangle.

４　Cut parallel with scissors toward the loop (right side) like the picture below.

５　Open it up, and you’ll see the shape, ‘×’.  It’s so easy and quick, isn’t it?

Next, let’s make the shape, ‘○’.

６　Fold it in half to make a triangle just like you did when you made ‘×’.

７　Fold in half again to make another triangle.

８　And again, fold it in half to make the third triangle.

９　And again, fold it in half to make the fourth triangle.

１０　After you made the fourth triangle,

cut parallel with scissors toward the loop (left side) like the picture below.

１１　Open it up, and you’ll see ‘○’

Lastly, let’s make ‘♯’ together.

１２　Fold it in half to make a triangle.

１３　Fold it in half to make another triangle.

１４　Fold it in half to make the third triangle.

１５　And again, fold it in half to make the fourth triangle.

１６　And again, fold it in half to make the fifth triangle.

１７　Cut parallel to the loop (left side) with scissors like the picture below.

１８　Open it up, and you’ll see ‘♯’.

This is so easy, isn’t it?  All you have to do is to keep folding triangles

and cut toward the loop, and you make different shapes.❤

What kind of shape you would have if you kept folding more triangles?

It might be fun to try that too♪

Why don’t you make your own shaped-origami.

Ok now, this is going to be a little more complicated, even though we need to cut again.

But, once you remember it, it’ll be so easy.  So let’s give it a shot!

How to make ‘○’ (Flower’s pattern)

１　Fold it in half to make a triangle.

２　Fold it in half again to make another triangle.

３　And again, fold it in half to make the third triangle.

４　Put the edge with three sheets to the right.

Fold it behind toward and along the base in the back like the picture below.

If you make mistakes here, everything is going to be separated.

Actually, I did… Lol

５　Draw a heart-shaped line exactly like the picture below

and cut it along the line.

６　Open it up gently and it’s done!

Look at this.  It’s such a cute flower pattern.

Not only can you decorate on the window

but you can also put it on your notebook to make your original one.

Let’s show it off to everybody with your own one!
