After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up.

Fold the top corner down to meet the center, flip the paper over, and fold the top edge down so that it aligns just above the horizontal crease.

Open it after folding the top left and right edges to match the vertical creases, then valley-fold along the diagonal creases created at the top while collapsing the paper to form the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over and make two roll folds on the bottom corner.

Make a pleat fold at the center of the paper to separate the head and body, then flip it over.

Cut a slit to separate the top left single layer of the pleated section, fold the left and right sides toward the central crease, and shape the tail using the separated section to finish.

How to fold a 3D persimmon that even 3-year-olds can make!

How to fold a 3D persimmon that even 3-year-olds can make!

Let’s make this idea using double-sided origami paper in orange and green.

The steps up to opening the paper into a diamond—folding the paper into a triangle twice, squashing it into a square, and opening it—are the same as for a crane.

From there, fold the diamond by layering its flaps, then fold the corner that will become the center of the model inward to create a crease.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet that crease, and then, imagining you’re forming a box, repeat the same folds for the remaining three sides.

Unfold the corners you folded down once, make a slit along the horizontal crease, fold it back to the reverse side, and switch the color to green.

This will be the stem.

The center portion will be the fruit, so shape it so it looks plump.

Easy and cute Halloween ghost

After folding the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it and place the origami so the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the top corner down to align with that crease.

Fold the left and right corners to the center line to crease them, then unfold.

Make step folds so the creases you just made overlap with the center line, open the pocketed parts, and squash-fold them into triangles.

These will be the ghost’s hands.

Fold both top corners into small triangles to round the ghost’s head, then fold the left and right edges of the bottom corner to the center line to form the tail.

Turn the paper over, fold both hands inward, and fold the tail up at an angle.

It’s complete.

An easy way to fold fallen leaves (origami)

Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.

Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.

From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.

When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.

How to fold a cute fox

How to fold a cute fox

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

Fold the paper into a triangle by matching the top and bottom corners.

Crease well, then open it.

This time, overlap the left and right corners slightly out of alignment and fold.

Fold up the base, leaving a little of the top corner of the triangle visible, then fold that remaining corner down—this will be the bat’s head.

Fold the paper in half along the vertical center line, and fold in the left and right sides of the head, aligning edges to edges, creasing as you go to shape the bat’s wings.

Once all the creases are made, open the paper and make wavy cuts along the lower part of the wings to finish.

Super easy! Fox face

Super easy! Fox face

This is a way to fold a fox face in just five folds.

First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Next, fold so that the two 45-degree corners meet, creating a crease.

Then, fold so that the 90-degree corner aligns with the point where the crease intersects the base.

Finally, fold each of the 45-degree corners upward, and you’re done.

Turn it face up and draw the fox’s face.

With no complicated steps and only a few folds, this is an easy origami project to try.

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do
Easy way to make grapes

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

A cute bunch of grapes that’s finished by crumpling tissue paper, putting it into a bag, and shaping it.

Change the color and you’ve got muscat grapes, too.

Cut grape leaves out of construction paper and stick them on.

Using tissue paper in the same color family with different shades will make it look even more vibrant.

Once it’s done, you can display it as is to enjoy an autumn mood, or stick it on the wall and have a grape-picking game.

Since the tissue paper gets packed into the bag, it doesn’t need to be perfectly crumpled.

Let the kids enjoy the feel of the tissue paper while they work on it.
