I’m so excited to share how to create this adorable Origami Koala that I designed back in early September! It’s simple to make and perfect for adding a cute touch to any occasion.
You’ll need three squares of the same size for the origami: one for the head and two for the body. These pieces are connected by simply folding the overlapping edges together—no glue required! For the baby koala, just use a square that’s half the size of the one used for the mama koala.
I used 7cm x 7cm origami paper to fold this koala, and the finished size is approximately 7.5cm in height and 6cm in width. It’s super cute as both a bookmark or a place card holder, especially for kids’ parties.
I hope you give it a try and enjoy folding this little origami koala. It makes a sweet addition to greeting cards or can be a tiny, thoughtful gift for someone special!
The name card size is about 5cm x 3cm if you want to use the Origami Koala as a place card holder when folding from 7cm x 7cm paper. You can fold it on larger square paper to hold a larger name card. I won’t go any more than a 10 cm square sheet. They look adorable when small.
Below is the step-by-step diagram instruction I created for those who prefer learning from visuals. You will need three 7cm x 7cm pieces of paper for this origami Koala model.

Conclusion:
I hope you enjoyed making this adorable Origami Koala! Whether you use it as a bookmark, a place card holder, or simply as a cute decoration, it’s sure to bring a smile to anyone who sees it.

Feel free to experiment with different colors or patterns of paper to personalize your koalas, and don’t hesitate to try making a whole family of them for extra charm. I’m sure this little project will add a special, handmade touch to any occasion!
