Our family love all things Asian – and we have been lucky enough to travel as a family to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan. We eat a lot of stir fry’s and Asian inspired meals, and we are all pretty handy with chopsticks!
Chopstick wrappers can be easily made from origami paper, and add a nice touch to an Asian inspired meal.
To make each chopstick wrapper you need 1 sheet of origami paper 6 x 6 inches.
Fold the sheet of paper in half. Open out and then fold both long edges into the midline and fold, so that the fold lines divide the paper into four columns.
Open out so that the wrong side is facing up.
On the top right hand corner, fold the corner over so that it is in line with the right fold line.
On the top left hand corner, fold the corner over so that it is in line with the middle fold line (Refer to photo)
Fold the right side into the midline.
Fold the left side over as photographed.
Inspired by Zakka, a lovely book that I bought in Japan that has lots of origami packaging ideas.
Perfect, Lisa, they are perfect!! I called my japanese husband to see this tutorial and he enjoyed it a lot too!!! Be sure I will make some chopstick wrappers to our next japanese dinner!!
Thanks!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

You are making me want Chinese food:) Those are so cute!
I heart all things Japanese. LOVE the food. Great chopstick holders.
What a sweet and simple touch to a meal, looking forward to using it. Thanks.
How sweet are these,thanks for the tutorial.
Love! I’m going to get the kids to make a million over the hols…
So nice! It’s little things like that which make a meal special. And now I am not only craving asian food, but cute Japanese packaging books too!!
These are beautiful! I love the wrappers and the papers too 🙂
Hi girls,
Great tutorial. Not sure if you were aware, but the origami paper designs you used here are actually very tradional Japanese family crest motifs 🙂 Very apt for a family dinner.
I have some in store if you ever need to pick some extras up 😉

Very cute Lisa — thanks for sharing these!
These are adorable. The directions seem unfinished, however. How do you finish it off so the whole thing stays intact and the chopsticks do not fall out of the bottom?
