Armchair
Among the pieces of paper origami furniture for children, the chair occupies a special place. It creates an atmosphere of comfort both in a real house and in a doll house. It’s hard to imagine a living room without an armchair; it would also be appropriate in a bedroom or office. For the most common model, you will need a square sheet of 15x15 cm.
Step-by-step instruction:
- We start from the underside of the sheet.
- We make a zigzag fold “mountain and valley” as shown in the diagram.
- In this case, the square is divided into 3 sections.
- We open the product.
- We make a similar zigzag fold, but now vertically.
- We open the sheet. We apply preparatory folds diagonally, following the diagram.
- Using the lines outlined in step 6, we assemble a three-dimensional figure.
- We bend the protruding triangular valves along the dotted line.
- Rotate the product 90° to the right. In front of us is the left side of the model.
- Open the right valve.
- Glue the area outlined by the ellipse.
- This is what should happen.
- We close the right side. Turn the model to the other side.
- Repeat steps 10 – 13.
The chair is ready. This is what it looks like from different sides. The model can be combined with a coffee table, sofa and other furniture, creating elegant ensembles.

"Table and chair"
Tasks:
- develop the ability to analyze a building
- name the parts from which the construction is made;
— teach children to build furniture for play from building materials: table and chair;
- fix the names of the parts: cube, brick;
— pay attention to the color of the builder’s parts;
— cultivate a friendly attitude towards game characters.
Material:
Toys for bunnies according to the number of children and mother - a hare, small building material (two cubes and two bricks for each child), large building material (two cubes and two bricks).
Preliminary work:
examination of the doll table and chair (legs, lid, seat, back).
GCD move:
Q: - Guys, look who came to visit us today? This is a mother hare with her babies. The hare is big, but what about the bunnies? (small). It took them a long time to get to us from the forest, they were tired from the journey, and hungry. Let's treat the bunnies to tea. Where should we put them? Our table and chairs are large, but the bunnies are small. It will be uncomfortable for them to sit.
Let's build them chairs and tables from building material. What will we build the table and chair from? What is this? (shows a cube) That's right, a cube. And what's that? (shows a brick) That's right, a brick. What color are our cubes and bricks? (red). Mom is a big bunny, I will build a table and a chair for her from large cubes and bricks, and you for the little bunnies from small cubes and bricks.
Showing the construction method:
– I will build from large cubes and bricks. First I'll build a table. I'll take a cube and put it like this. It turned out to be a table leg. The table has a lid. I will make the lid from a brick. I will place the brick with the wide side on the cube. This is how the table turned out. It's uncomfortable to drink tea while standing. I'll make a chair for the bunny. First I'll place the cube. This is a chair seat. The chair has a back. I will make the back from a brick. I'll put the wide side of it against the cube like this. It turned out to be a chair.
The teacher and the children invite the mother bunny to sit at the table.
Sit down, mother bunny, relax, watch how the children build tables and chairs for your bunnies.
Q: – The bunnies are small, so we will build for them from small building material.
Children sit at tables and complete constructions.
After completing the work, the teacher asks: what were they building? For whom? What were the table and chair made of?
Then the teacher offers to play with the buildings, seat the bunnies at tables, give them tea (cups are substitute objects: mosaic).

Bed
A bedroom set is an integral part of a modern home. It usually includes a bed and two paired bedside tables. Let's start with the main piece of furniture. The most popular bed model consists of two parts: the body and the mattress.
Step-by-step instruction:
- For the body we use a 15x15 cm square. We outline the central axes.
- Fold the bottom and top edges 1/3.
- And bend it towards the central axis.
- We fully open all the folds, and then assemble the figure with a zigzag in the direction of the arrow.
- We outline the diagonal folds.
- We open the sides from the inside, as shown in the diagram.
- And flatten it.
- We bend the right edge of the workpiece.
- We place the triangular “legs” at right angles to the base of the bed.
- Raise the left side up. This is the headboard.
- We put the bed on legs.
Mattress:
- We outline the vertical axis of the square.
- We bend the right and left edges towards it.
- Let's turn it over again.
- We open all the folds.
- Fold the left side back along the dotted line.
- We fold the right edge in the same way, but forward.
- Bend the figure in half from top to bottom.
- We outline the horizontal axis.
- Fold the top and bottom 1/3.
- We lower the sides at a right angle.
- The mattress is ready. We place it on the base of the bed.
Origami bedside tables are assembled according to the principle of Japanese “masu” boxes. Place them vertically, with the open side inward.
Model No. 2
The second type of bed is made from one sheet. It comes with a blanket and pillow, which makes the model surprisingly realistic and elegant. For the bed you will need a sheet of paper 15x15 cm, as well as a ruler and pencil.
Detailed instructions are in the video tutorial:
For the blanket we use a square of 8x8 cm. It is advisable to take paper with a beautiful contrasting pattern. We will also make a pillow from it, loosely rolling a strip measuring 4x8cm.
Cabinet
Cabinet furniture made using the origami technique is no different from the real thing. The cabinets or chests of drawers are equipped with convenient drawers, and the closet is equipped with a real barbell. An ideal place to store your collection of origami clothes.
For an original cabinet based on the model of origamist Fumiyaka Shingu, you will need three squares measuring 21x21 cm.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Divide the first square into 3 parts vertically and horizontally.
- Bend the top part back. We fold the bottom one forward.
- We mark the fold lines with dotted lines. Open the sides, flatten and smooth.
- Fold the sides along the dotted lines.
- The first piece of furniture is ready.
For the second one you will also need a square of 21x21 cm.
- We divide the workpiece into three parts and roll it into a strip.
- We make vertical folds - 1/3 on each side.
- We connect both parts together.
All that remains is to put the boxes in place:
Instructions for assembling the box:
- We divide a square of 21x21 cm into 3 parts in both directions.
- Fold the top and bottom edges.
- We make folds along the dotted lines.
- Fold the top and bottom edges again.
- We outline the diagonal folds.
- We open the workpiece from the inside according to the arrows.
- We form a box by stretching the side walls. We glue the product for strength.
- Repeat steps 1 – 7 to make another box.
We make handles so that the cabinet can be easily opened.
Instructions for the pen:
You will need a strip of golden or dark brown paper 1x1.4 cm.
- Let's start from the inside out. We bend the strip in half along the long side.
- Fold the product along the dotted line.
- We repeat the action in the other direction.
- Glue the handles in place.
