Oragami Inflatable Bunny

By Dallin -
The inflatable bunny is one of my favorite models and is another model that is folded from the waterbomb base. It is very similar to the waterbomb/cube. They make great crafts around Easter. You can also glue a cotton ball to make a tail and add facial features to make it more detailed if you want. The best colors for these are pink or white. 


Step 1: Fold a waterbomb base and have the top of the base point up


Step 2: Valley fold the bottom left corner up to the top corner 


Step 3: Valley fold the bottom right corner up to the top corner so its edge meets the edge of the other flap


Step 4: Take the left corner of the left flap that was just created and valley fold it to the center


Step 5: Do the same with the right flap


Step 6: Take the top left flap and valley fold it straight down


Step 7: Valley fold that same triangle flap along its longest side


Step 8: Crease and unfold


Step 9: Open the pocket on the left and valley fold the small, newly formed flap inside.  This is just like in the waterbomb.



Step 10: Flatten and repeat steps 6 through 9 on the right side so they are identical


It will look like this:


Step 11: Turn the model over so it looks like this. All steps up until now have been exactly the same as in a waterbomb.


Step 12: Take the left hand flap and valley fold it so the edge lines up with the center crease mark


Step 13: Repeat step 12 on the right hand flap


Step 14: Take the bottom point of the left flap and valley fold it so the long side of the triangular flap is horizontal


Step 15: Repeat step 14 with the right hand flap


Step 16: Grip the paper at the corner where my pinkie is in the picture above and valley fold it so that edge meets the center line



Step 17: Repeat step 16 on the other side


Step 18: Place your fingers on the side and start to open the bunny up


Step 19: Blow into the little hole in the center to inflate the bunny



The completed inflatable bunny!


You can use the little hole in the front to put things such as candy inside


Looks kinda like a peep, doesn't it?

Origami Dragon (harder)

By Dallin -

The dragon is my favorite origami model but it is definitely not a beginner model. To fold it, you need to be able to petal, squash, sink, valley, and reverse fold. If you can't do all of  these folds, refer to the  folds  post. Step 1: Fold a  bird base  and have the separate points at the bottom Step 2: Valley fold the top point down Step 3: Mountain fold the top point down around the back Step 4: Valley fold the top point to the middle crease line, crease, and unfold Step 5: Now open the paper and sink fold the tip down. You will see a small square in the middle... ... and pinch the edges a little to define them... ...now press the center point down to 'sink' it It should look like this: Step 6: Valley fold the top layer on the right to the left Step 7: Valley fold the bottom point up Step 8: Valley fold point A to point B (refer to pic above) Step 9: Repeat steps

Origami Basketball Hoop

The basketball hoop is a fun and interactive model. Once made, just crumple some paper into a ball and start shooting (you can also make a crumpled ball ). It can be made from either origami paper or printer paper. If you make it from origami paper, it won't be as tall, and won't stand up as easily, but it will still work. I would recommend making it from printer paper though. Also, it might fall over when being used, so just put a book or something behind it and it will stay up fine. Step 1: If you're using printer paper, orient it vertically. If you're using origami paper, make a  waterbomb base  and then skip to step 9. Step 2: Valley fold the top left corner over (the top edge should align with the right side) Step 3: Unfold Step 4: Valley fold the top right corner over to the left edge Step 5: Unfold and turn the paper over Step 6: After you've turned the paper over, fold the top edge down so the creases lie on t

Oragami Inflatable Frog

The inflatable frog is a traditional Japanese origami model. It is a rather common model, but it's only one of many origami frogs out there. It is a rather advanced model, requiring squash and petal folds to make the base, and reverse folds to form the frog. It inflates, but is folded from a frog base rather than a waterbomb base. Step 1: Fold a  frog base Step 2: Valley fold the bottom right and left edges to the center Step 3: Repeat step 2 on the other three parts of the frog base  Step 4: Valley fold the top layer of the bottom two points up Step 5: Crease and unfold Step 6: Inside reverse fold the flaps up Step 7: Valley fold the two bottom points remaining out to their respective sides Step 8: Crease and unfold Step 9: Inside reverse fold the flaps Step 10: Now make reverse folds to form the arms and legs (use the picture below to know where to make your folds) Step 11: Blow into the litt
