Swirly Grapes

[Craft] Twirling Grapes

When it comes to the king of autumn flavors, grapes surely take the crown.

Let’s make a seasonal craft by rolling construction paper.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, and glue.

Cut the construction paper into a teardrop shape to create the base for the grapes.

Cut long, thin strips of construction paper and roll them tightly with your fingertips to form grape shapes.

Glue the rolled “grapes” onto the base in a three-dimensional way, making sure there are no gaps.

Finally, cut and roll green construction paper to make the stem and cluster top, then glue it on to finish.

Try making it while paying attention to finger dexterity, size, and overall balance.

Using origami to make delicious-looking grapes is also perfect as a craft that stimulates fine motor development.

Cut the origami into strips with scissors and glue the ends to make loops.

Make a total of 12 loops.

Glue the loops together to form a bunch of grapes.

Witch hat for Halloween

[Origami] Chestnut – Easy Tutorial, Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3; Child-Friendly Folding Method; Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.

First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.

Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.

Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.

If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.

Cute and easy! How to fold a persimmon (origami)

[Origami] Easy Persimmon Folding Method 🍊 Perfect for Autumn Wall Decorations!

The king of nutrient-packed fruits, the persimmon, makes for origami that feels seasonal and is perfect for autumn crafts.

Prepare orange and green origami paper and let’s start folding.

On the orange paper, make creases and fold the corners toward the center.

Fold further toward the center to create the base of the persimmon.

For the last section, fold it up toward the top edge to give the persimmon a three-dimensional shape.

For the leaf part, fold it first, then make small cuts at the edges—be careful not to cut too far.

It could also be fun to turn all the persimmons everyone folded into a persimmon tree display on the wall to make it together with the children.

Two ways to fold an acorn

[Origami] Easy Acorn Craft Tutorial

Even when we say “acorns” as a catch-all, there are many kinds—apparently more than 20 species native to Japan alone.

In this idea, we introduce two styles: a long acorn and a round acorn.

That said, the folding method is the same for both.

With the colored side of the origami facing up, fold down the top edge.

This part becomes the acorn’s cap, so make this section narrower for a long acorn and wider for a round acorn.

After folding the cap, flip the paper over and fold the left and right edges toward the center line.

A key point here is to align only the brown section with the center line.

You want the white section to suggest the cap’s flare, so fold it while slightly opening it outward and flattening it.

After that, just fold the top and bottom corners inward to refine the shape.

Adding patterns to the cap makes it extra cute.

Origami Halloween pumpkin

November Origami — Fallen Leaves

Here’s an origami idea for fallen leaves that also helps kids practice using scissors.

Place the colored side up and fold the paper into a triangle.

Next, make accordion folds from the left edge in 1 cm widths.

Once the accordion folds are done, unfold back to the triangle and fold up the base diagonally so that the left side becomes thicker.

Fold the top corners outward into small triangles, then slowly open the paper.

Tuck the triangular corner tips to the back to shape it like a leaf.

Open the white section on the left edge, make a slit on the opposite side, and form the leaf stem.

After that, add small cuts or folds as you like to give it the look of a fallen leaf.

Cute for moon-viewing too! A rabbit face

[Animal Origami] Easy Rabbit Face Folding Tutorial with Voice Commentary ☆ Origami Rabbit Tutorial / For Kids / Tatsukuri

First, with the colored side facing out, fold along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Then crease by folding so that the left and right tips of the triangle meet.

Next, fold so that the 90-degree corner overlaps the center of the base, and then fold the left and right corners along the creases to form an overall diamond shape.

Fold the left and right corners to the center, and make a small fold in the bottom corner.

Finally, fold the top corner down to meet the left and right corners, and you’re done.

When you turn it over, it will be shaped like a rabbit’s face, so draw the face with a marker to finish.

The steps aren’t complicated, but there are quite a few folds, so take your time and give it a patient try.

Apple

[Origami Easy Apple] Autumn Origami ④ How to make an origami apple.

Bright red apples make a cute motif, so you’ll definitely want to include them in your origami activities.

First, fold the paper in half into a triangle and unfold it.

Place it so the corners are at the top, bottom, left, and right, then fold the left and right corners toward the center.

At this point, don’t fold exactly to the center—fold them slightly past it.

Next, make a small downward fold on the top corner.

Then fold the bottom corner up in a large fold so it sticks out above the top.

Fold the part that sticks out diagonally, make small folds on the left and right corners to shape it, and you’re done!
