Origami balls are very easy and fun to make. Here are my basic folding instructions, so that you can learn how to make origami balls. For the sake of this guide, I have just used plain blank paper (instead of origami paper), and have drawn some lines on it so that it is as clear as possible where to make the folds (for this guide you just need any kind of square piece of paper). Learning how to make origami balls is very easy to do (compared to most origami), and with these instructions you should have no problem learning how to make a nice little origami ball in just a few minutes.
- The first step is to just get a square piece of paper. In the picture below I have drawn where we will be making the folds in the following steps.
- First fold your paper diagonally across as seen in the picture.
- Now make the same fold as in step 2, except using the opposite end.
- Now fold the paper in half. You should have to creases going diagonally across the paper. I have shown these in the picture below by drawing 2 lines.
- Now, from each end you should be able to fold in the paper, using the creases made before. This is basically done by pushing the right and left folded edges towards the center of the paper. After doing this to both sides your origami should be in a triangle shape.
- Now take both ends of the paper and fold them up.
- Now fold the part that was made in step six towards the middle. See picture. And also repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 to the other side of the paper.
- You should now be able to find small little pockets that were made from the folding done in step seven. You should be able to fold the paper that is above the pocket, into the pocket. Do this for all the pockets (there are a total of four).
- Now, holding to opposite ends of the origami, blow into the top. The sides should all puff out and your origami ball will be complete. You have now learned how to make origami balls. It is really that easy to do!
Hopefully you have enjoyed my folding instructions and have learned how to make origami balls. I have made this guide as clear as possible, however if there is any chance that you do not understand something just leave a comment here and I will answer your question as soon as possible. And of course, if any one has some suggestions for improving these origami ball instructions, I would be very happy to hear them.
