Hello origami lovers,

I’m excited to share that my latest origami model is complete! the Origami Hot Air Balloon. With spring approaching and warmer weather on the way, I wanted to create something colorful, dimensional, and uplifting for this origami ASMR video. I don’t know why, but just seeing hot air balloons makes me feel so joyful, and I hope these paper creations bring that same feeling to you.

This origami hot air balloon was folded from a 4.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper. I recently ran out of traditional origami paper, which turned out to be the perfect opportunity to experiment with construction paper. While I normally prefer folding with thin origami paper, the thicker construction paper created deeper, slightly crunchy ASMR sounds that add a unique sensory element to the folding process.

In this origami ASMR short, I focus on the rhythmic folding, the textured creases, and the dimensional shaping that transforms flat paper into a sculptural form. The original design concept used a small masu box as the base. However, I felt that structure made the balloon resemble a lightbulb more than a hot air balloon. After refining the design, I replaced it with a spider box base, which gave the model better balance and proportion.

As an origami artist, I enjoy exploring how small adjustments in structure can dramatically change the final result. This Origami Hot Air Balloon ASMR video is part of my ongoing paper art journey, where I combine origami, dimensional paper design, and calming sensory experiences.
