How to Make a Strawberry (Origami, 3D)

Strawberries contain vitamin C and polyphenols, making them a fruit that helps maintain good health.

Sadly, we can’t eat any today, but I’ll introduce an origami piece that evokes the feeling of spring.

After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice, open the pocketed part into a square.

Rotate the paper so that the corner at the center of the origami is pointing down, then fold the lower edges on both sides slightly outside the center line.

Next, fold the top edge downward, this time aligning it precisely with the center line.

Open the four pocketed spots along the folded top edge and color them green.

Flip the paper over, fold the top edge to the center line, and fold it down further to create the calyx.

Once all the calyx parts are done, press out from the center with your finger to expand and complete the strawberry.

It looks just like a real strawberry—you’ll definitely feel tempted to eat it.

The process is to accordion-fold the paper, then fold the whole piece in half and round off the edges with a cut.

After that, open it up, connect the pieces, and shape them into a circle.

four-leaf clover

Easy and cute origami folding method: four-leaf clover

In fact, each leaf of a four-leaf clover has its own meaning: hope, sincerity, affection, and happiness.

Put together, they become “good luck.” In Japan, the flower language of the four-leaf clover signifies good luck, but in the West, it can also mean “fulfilled love” or “fame.” Why not try making a four-leaf clover out of origami? It doesn’t require many folds, so even beginners should be fine.

It’s an origami piece you can use in many ways—as an accent for illustrated letters or as a small charm when giving sweets and other gifts.

a flower bouquet

Origami how to fold flowers, bouquet, Mother’s Day – how to make a paper flower bouquet

A bouquet of colorful flowers conveys a happy vibe and feels perfect for spring.

This project shows how to make those flowers with origami, then bundle them into a colorful, three-dimensional bouquet.

The key is how each flower is made: first crease it by folding toward the center, then use those creases as guides to shape it so the petals open up.

You’ll be making many fine creases, so some wrinkles will appear along the way—but that might also add to the flowers’ softness.

Try using different origami papers and aim for a bright, colorful bouquet.

Dandelion wreath

Spring is the season when the weather warms and many flowers begin to appear, and you’ll likely spot more dandelions as well.

This craft recreates dandelions—a quintessential spring flower—using origami and combines them into a wreath-like shape.

To make the dandelion flowers, fold a strip of origami paper in half and then fold it again to make it narrower, cut fine slits along the edge, roll it up, then spread and shape it.

The wreath base is made by assembling triangular units, and it’s recommended to use green to evoke leaves.

Finally, combine all the parts and add decorative elements like leaf pieces to complete the project.
