Fold the top and bottom edges of the origami paper together in half, then fold it the same way once more.

Next, make alternating slits from the top and bottom edges.

It’s best to start by cutting on one side, then cut from the opposite side so the slits go into the gaps you created.

Remember these are just slits, so be careful not to cut pieces off completely.

Once all the slits are in, open it up slowly and pull gently left and right to spread it like a mesh.

Finish by decorating with star stickers.

It’s simple yet cute! And it looks like great finger exercise, too.

Lantern Tanabata decorationsNEW!

[100-Yen DIY ☆ Tanabata] How to Make a Paper Lantern

Open it up and attach it to the side of the tube.

Glue thin, long strips of origami to the top and bottom of the tube, add a handle, and it’s done! If you make slits in the outer piece without folding it first, you can also create a more rounded lantern.

Using Japanese-pattern origami will give it a traditional touch, making it a perfect decoration for Tanabata.

Place an LED light inside and it can serve as a lantern for your room.

Watermelon Tanabata decorationsNEW!

[Tanabata Decorations] Easy Origami!! Watermelon Ornament [Preschool Craft] [July]

Looks so delicious! Let me show you a watermelon Tanabata decoration.

Prepare a piece of red origami cut in half and a piece of green origami cut into a long, thin strip.

Attach the green strip to the edge of the red origami to represent the flesh and the rind, then use a pen to draw the rind’s pattern and the seeds.

Accordion-fold the origami, punch a hole on one side, and thread a string through to finish.

It’s also cute if you use origami in colors other than red.

This idea uses watermelon cut into triangles, but it might be nice to mix in half-moon pieces as well.

Leave about 2 cm uncut at the top.

Once you finish the cuts, open the paper and glue together two corners that are diagonally opposite each other.

Next, shape it so the creases stand up, and attach a star embellishment to finish.

Since the back side is also visible, it might look cute made with double-sided origami paper.

Sasa Leaf PapercraftNEW!

[Tanabata Decorations] Bamboo Leaves Papercraft | How to Make Bamboo Leaves | Paper Crafts

Real bamboo leaves are lovely, but ones made from craft paper are beautiful too.

The steps are very simple: cut construction paper into strips, fold each strip in half, and trim with scissors to form leaf shapes.

However, you’ll need to make a lot and attach them together, so take your time.

Use floral wire for the branch portions.

Since you’ll be using a hot glue gun for adhesion, be careful not to burn yourself.

The impression changes depending on the shade of green, so it’s hard to choose which one to make!
