Origami bag folding options
Children in their games willingly use various accessories, similar to those of adults. Girls are always happy to accept bags made using the origami technique for their favorite dolls.
Simple circuit
A paper bag can be used to wrap a small gift. It holds a candy bar, a keychain, a mirror and a small hairbrush. Some models are designed for postcard decoration. In addition, a beautiful piece can enliven a boring interior.
Making a paper bag using the origami technique with your own hands for children is not difficult at all. You need to prepare in advance:
- colored sheet of A4 paper;
- hole puncher;
- 2 braids;
- scissors.
Simple options for folding the bag are available for a 5-year-old child. In the process of working on origami, the creativity of the baby, hand motor skills and visual memory are strengthened.
- For making a simple model you need to take a piece of paper, fold it diagonally, pull the left corner to the right side and smooth it. Bend the opposite corner in the same way.
- Valves formed at the top of the triangle it is necessary to separate and bend them on both outer sides. Then you can punch holes for the handles with a hole punch.
- Insert your fingers into the crevice, sliding the walls apart. From both sides, thread the holes along the braid, tying knots on the inside.
This model is perfect as a doll accessory and gift wrapping.
Consider another simple scheme for making a baby bag in the shape of a basket:
- on a color standard A4 sheet you need to draw a rectangle 18x15 cm;
- divide the long side of the indicated rectangular figure into 3 equal shares of 6 cm each;
- measure also 3 identical parts in width;
- divide the corner parts into strips of 2 cm;
- draw triangles in the middle part above and below, shading the corners formed from the edges;
- cut off the shaded fragments;
- make cuts in the corner rectangles along the drawn lines;
- bend the resulting corners up;
- bend and glue the strips located next to the triangle;
- bend symmetrically and fix the remaining strips with glue on both sides;
- cut a strip of a different color 1.5 cm wide and 20 cm long;
- form handles out of it and glue them;
- the base of the handles can be covered with cut-out circles;
- decorate the round beads with flowers.
The bag is ready.

More ideas
Especially for the holiday of all lovers, you can make a handbag in the shape of a heart.
- First cut 2 identical pink and red circles. Next, you need to bend slightly along one edge in the middle of each workpiece.
- After that, you need to combine the circles at a certain angle and glue them. Use scissors to round off the side tops at the top.
- The next step is to make holes for the handles, which can be made from pink chenille wire.
- The cocktail tubes cut into small segments should be threaded onto the future handles. Then the ends of the wire must be inserted into the holes and bent from the inside of the bag.
- The second handle is fixed in a similar way.
The original heart-shaped bag is ready.
The child can independently fold a bag for dolls out of paper. There are various easy origami options. Let's consider one of the simplest ways:
- fold a square sheet of 10x10 cm diagonally;
- Pull the right side of the base of the triangle to the opposite side and smooth the fold line;
- do the same on the left side;
- turn the craft over with the back side and bend it in the middle, without smoothing this fold;
- departing from the right edge about 1 cm, make a parallel incision all the way;
- return the workpiece to its previous state;
- bend the inner triangles formed after the cut in different directions;
- glue all the paper layers;
- decorate the craft at your discretion;
- a small bag for dolls is ready.
In addition, you can copy any of your favorite options for ready-made templates found on the Internet. The blank must be printed on thick paper using a color printer. The template must be cut and folded along the marked lines. Fasten the sides and bottom with double-sided tape. Fold up the tongue and place a satin bow or silk flower there as a decoration.
Ready-made templates allow kids to create neat and beautiful handbags. It takes much less time to work than folding origami from scratch.
