Learn how to make a pretty modular origami bracelet. This easy to make origami bangle makes an awesome gift. Simple & quick.
This easy origami bracelet is so simple, and has a really elegant and quality look to it. It’s so easy to make, and simple to customise for any size wrist.
You can also make an origami crown with these. Just use larger sized paper (more sizes below the video). Using metallic gold paper would be awesome, it would make a nice prop for a school play, children’s party or just for fun.
So many different types of paper you could use, how about using plastic, or foil, chip packets (the silver side)… I think it works best with thicker paper or thin card.
Design: Traditional
Level: ★★☆☆☆
You will need:
▸ About 18 – 22 strips of 15 x 1.8 cm (start white side up) (paper used in tutorial: TANT pastel)
Final size: 4 x 8 (or more) cm
Other sizes you can use: 10 x 1.2 cm and 20 x 2.4 cm…if you have a different starting size in mind, you can use my paper ratio calculator to work out what dimensions you need.
Chrissy,
thank you so much for you tutorials! Your website (and YouTube channel) have helped me so much with my origami. I know you probably won’t respond to this, but thank you.
also, do you have any ideas on what to make for my Pappaw (grandpa) for Christmas that is fairly easy?
thanks again, Jocelyn
Dear Chrissy, .
Thanks for all your great tutorials ! I have especially appreciated the little plants !
I have a problem with this model, when I wanna fix a third piece the “place” is too small to introduce it, even though my paper is very thin. Do you have an Idea why it went wrong, and haw shall I do with a thicker paper ?
Thanks for your help.
Have a nice day !
Hi Audrey, Glad you like them 🙂 All I can suggest is, firstly make sure your paper is the right size, if using thicker paper, you can fold it normally but leave a gap, so that there is more room (at about 1 minute into the video), hope that helps 🙂
It would be great to see pictures of the videos to see the steps
I did make this into a photo tutorial, here: https://www.paperkawaii.com/origami-photo-tutorials/bracelet/ 🙂
Hi, this is beautiful! Do you think I can make those with 9 years old? And if so, should I stick to the dimensions you mention: 15×1.8 cm, and like 18 of them?
Thanks!
Yes, I think you can make these with 9 year olds. They are pretty easy. 🙂
I remember making these when I was in school. We used gum wrappers, so they were very colorful!
An excuse to chew more gum! I made mine with starburst wrappers…! ?
I remember making crowns more than 70 years ago on the last day of school using some of the pages from our scribblers.
I am making some for my grand kids today but don’t know how to join the ends to make a single layer crown.
This is so cute! I’m going to have to try this soon, maybe add them in as party favors soon 😉
Party favours is a nice idea! They’d also make nice napkin rings.. 😀
I really like that blue and white bracelet you folded here.
Thanks very much! ?
