Easter Origami.
Can you believe it’s time for Easter crafts already? I’m so egg-cited (get it?) to show you some of my favourite origami crafts.
With Spring in the air, Easter is the perfect holiday for making bright and colourful origami. I’ve made quite a few Easter origami crafts over the years. Did you see my origami egg cups? They’re a great one to make when you need a quick Easter place setting for the table.
Any of these Easter origami projects would make a lovely little paper decoration. You can use them simply as garlands strung up and hanging on the wall, to decorate a spring wreath or to embellish a DIY Easter basket or card.
Easy Easter Origami Crafts.
Not only is origami a fun craft to do with all the family, but it’s also cost-effective (they cost practically nothing to make) and look fantastic.
As most of these projects require only paper (sometimes scissors, a little glue and some pens to decorate) it makes them cheap as chips to make and a really affordable and fantastic way to decorate for Spring and Easter.
And don’t be too intimidated if you’re an origami beginner. Some of these projects, like the bunny bookmarks and the simple origami egg, are super easy to make.
Origami Supplies:
Glue or Double-sided Tape
My favourite origami paper alternatives.
I do recommend using origami paper (you can even get a cute pastel version) for any paper folding project, here are a few alternatives that you probably already have on hand.
Regular Printer Paper,
Magazines,
Maps,
Old Books,
And Newspapers.
I even have some printable origami paper you can download and use for FREE. Simply download, print and cut into 7x7-inch squares.
Easter Origami Instructions.
I’ve rounded up twenty-five of my favourites from around the web including a few of my own to share with you. I’ve tried to include something for everyone.
Each project is broken down into easy-to-follow steps with either photo or video instructions. There are some simple projects for the younger kids (and the complete origami beginner) and a few that are a bit more complicated for anyone that fancies more of a challenge.
