origami shirt easy

Of course! Making an origami shirt is one of the most popular and relatively easy designs for beginners and children. This model only requires quick basic folds.

You only need one square sheet of paper (15x15 cm origami paper is ideal).

Here are the easy steps to make an origami shirt:

👔 Simple Origami Shirt Instructions
Part 1: Forming the Shirt Base
Preparation: Start with the colored side (the side you want to be the color of the shirt) facing up.

Center Fold: Fold the paper in half horizontally (from top to bottom). Unfold it. (You should have a horizontal crease in the middle.)

Center Edge Fold: Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease you just made.

Your entire paper is now divided into two equal halves down the middle.

Important: Leave the paper folded in this position.

Part 2: Making the Shirt Collar
Flip the Paper: Flip the paper to the other side (the uncolored side, or the side that will be the inside of the shirt).

Peak Fold: Fold the top corner slightly (about 1-2 cm) down. This fold will become the top of the collar. Unfold this fold again.

Creating the Collar: Flip the paper over to the lined side (the side in Step 3). Use the fold you just made in Step 5 as a guide:

Take the top left corner and fold it toward the center (like making a tie or peak fold).

Repeat the top right corner, folding it toward the center.

Result: You now have a triangular collar shape that meets in the center.

3. Creating the Sleeves
Creating the Sleeves: Return to the Main Crease (Step 3). Fold the top left edge outward diagonally.

Result: This fold should start at a point below the collar you just created and angle outward, forming a pointed sleeve.

Repeat the Sleeves: Repeat the same steps for the top right edge, folding it outward diagonally.

4. Finishing the Final Fold
Peak Fold Up: Take the bottom edge of the shirt (opposite the collar). Fold this bottom edge up until it lines up with the center crease.

Closing the Collar: Lift the entire bottom edge (the one you just folded in Step 9). Tuck this edge under the collar you just created (Step 6). Press and crease the fold firmly.

Done! You should now have a complete origami shirt with a collar, sleeves, and body folds.
