DIY hand-made paper top toy that is really playable. After completion, just twist the upper part of the paper top with your hands, and it will start spinning happily! Friends can invite their friends to make origami together. Make a paper top, and then compete to see whose top can spin longer~~~ I’m so looking forward to it, please share the tutorial with your friends~~~

This paper top consists of three parts: the base, the middle waist and the handle. It is recommended that friends use three different colors of paper to fold it. It is best to have different colors on the front and back of the paper. The finished paper top will be more beautiful. .

First, make the base of the paper top using origami

Fold the paper like this (don’t know? Then take a look at [How to Fold a Paper Hydrangea], which has an illustration of this step).

Each square is stretched out into a pointed shape.

Turn the inner corner between the long corners outwards.

Fold the long corners back to complete the chassis.

Next, the middle waist part of the origami paper top

Fold the four corners of the paper toward the center twice in a row. See the picture above for the finished look.

Turn it over and fold each corner toward the center.

Fold it and then turn it over, folding each corner upward into a double shape to complete the middle part of the paper top.

Then, the handle part of the origami paper top

The handle should be strong and heavy. Fold the 4 corners of the paper toward the center three times in a row without changing the direction. The picture above shows it folded once.

This is what it looks like after folding 3 times.

Then turn it over and pinch it like this with 4 fingers to complete the paper top handle.

Finally, assemble the three folded parts

Insert the middle waist into the chassis.

Insert the handle part into the middle waist to complete the making of the paper top, twist it with your hands and start playing!
