I saw this super cute kawaii origami bow on a blog called Zakka Life and decided to make it. The pattern is from Tweety Atelier and written in Korean. Luckily origami diagrams are only slightly harder to understand than Ikea instructions, so it was doable.
Number 4 was the hardest step for me.
Steps 7-8 are sort of misleading from the pictures. 7 is instructing you to open up the paper, so the image in 8 is 4 times larger than the image in 7.
Step 9 is instructing you to cut along the 4 lines. I still always feel like cutting origami seems a little blasphemous for some reason! (Perhaps it is just because I’m such a beginner at origami, and when you cut it you can’t open it back up and start over when you mess up!)
Steps 13 and 15 involve cutting again.
That’s it! Mine sort of looks like a clown’s tie because of the paper I used. I just want to put these cute bows on everything! I used this first one to girlify the fiance’s computer. 
I love the way Tweety Atelier made a garland out of the bows. And that red gingham paper?? I have origami paper envy now!
Eeeee!!! KAWAII!!!
I also linked to tweety’s page about these bows, I was just wondering if you had seen them anywhere else? I am looking for them elsewhere to see if there is a book, or an english translation.
I know what you mean about the cutting, I guess because of the cutting, it is Kirigami!!
I love your website! ^_^ cya
Thanks Chrissy! No I haven’t seen them anywhere else, but if you do find an English translation let me know!
This is so beautiful! But I can’t seem to get step 9 right.. How long are you supposed to cut? If you actually cut as the lines in the picture show, aren’t the “flaps” being cut of? Wow, I’m so confused. Wish someone would remake this tut in english!
Fantastic bow…thanks for sharing the tutorial.
