Samurai Helmet (Kabuto)
This origami video shows how to make a samurai’s helmet or kabuto. Kabutos were the inspiration for Darth Vader’s helmet (and many others) in the Star Wars movies. I think this makes a fun party hat.

Haha that is amazing. I just got into origami this summer and I can make the classics (Swan, Flapping Bird, Sailboat, and a Box without the lid) and I think it is amazing. I mean turning a flat, boring piece of paper into something like that is amazing. Oh and I also can make the Change of Heart (I hate thoes little tiny inverts, the ones that hold the quarter) using your video, of course haha.
Glad you're getting into origami. It's a great way to pass the time and expand your mind… I almost use it as a sort of meditation – it helps me to relax… unless it's a tedious fold like Change of Heart… lol. Anyhow, glad you like the site.
i love your tanks and space ships!!!! wooo
p.s is there a vid on making a bird base other than the one from howcast becasue there one is to hard since they skip the last few steps and it gets too confusing and frustrating
yeah, you can use a page of news paper cut (or torn) to a square to make one that will fit your head… well I guess it depends on how big your head is… but it should fit most kids.
