Promotional poster for the movie My Neighbor Totoro
During the summer my children watched this movie for the first time and they absolutely loved it. That inspired me to see if there were any directions to make an origami Totoro. I actually found quite a few but I chose this one to share because it's very easy to make and it's a puppet. It's very similar to folding an origami cup.
For the grey Totoro I used 6-by-6 in/15-by-15 cm paper. For the little blue guy I used 3-by-3 in/7.5-by-7.5 cm paper.

So cute! A must try, with a little difference. I would let the tape and valley fold that part.
Thank you for sharing. do you mind if I share it on my blog too, in German?
Greetings,

Yay! I love Totoro! I made a mini quilt with him on the rain this summer :D
adorable!
Karin,
The valley fold is a great idea to replace the tape. Let me know how it works out.
You're welcome to share this on your site :)
Sweedish Scrapper,
Did you share it on your blog? I was looking for it but didn't see it. However, I did see a lot of cute sewing projects :)
my favourite
I have known about and loved Totoro since I was 9 or 10 (so 21+ years). It is the most amazing movie as a kid, and a whole different kind of movie once you become a parent. I now tear up every time I watch the ending.
Also, you say in your post that it was released in 1998. You should have written 1988.
