This origami armchair sofa perfectly resembles the single sofa in our living room. Its arched armrests and backrest give it a soft appearance as if it’s stuffed with cotton.

We also match it with a soft pillow on top. It is a super easy and kid-friendly origami tutorial. You must use several pieces of paper to combine this sofa in this model. One key point is to cut the paper into the correct size. You can cut them with one piece of paper or match with different patterns or colors.
