Origami leaves can be used in so many ways. They are a beautiful way to decorate any room or event or can be used to make paper leaves for a fake tree. 

The possibilities are endless!

However, most origami leaf designs can be complicated, many of which require dozens of folds.

Supplies FOr Making An Origami Leaf

This paper leaf can be made using a single sheet of square paper—including craft paper or printer paper cut into a square.

However, I highly recommend using origami paper for the cleanest creases and to establish a leaf with that traditional origami feel. 

I’ll be using duo kami origami paper with white on one side and green on the other.

Origami Leaf Directions

Stretch those paper-folding fingers, and let’s get to it!

Step 1: Fold the paper in half vertically, then unfold

If you are using paper with different colors on each side, you’ll want to flip the paper so that your desired leaf color is facing down.

Begin by rotating the paper so that you have a corner facing left and right, essentially making a diamond. Then fold the paper in half vertically by bringing the right corner over to the left corner. Crease it well and then unfold.

Step 2: Fold the lower edges to the center crease, then unfold

Next, fold the lower-left and lower-right edges to the center crease that we made in the previous step. Once again, crease it well and unfold.

Step 3: Fold the right and left corners to the nearest diagonal creases

Starting with the right side, fold the corner down and align it with the nearest crease—which we made in the previous step. Repeat with the left corner.

Step 4: Fold the paper in half, right to left

Fold the paper in half vertically and bring the right edge over to the left edge.

Step 5: Fold the top layer to the right, at a slight angle

Grab the upper layer and fold it over to the right at a slight angle (as seen above). It may help to place a slight bend at the bottom to help make a straight crease.

Step 6: Flip it over and celebrate

Now flip the paper over, and there you have it, an easy origami leaf!
