Let’s make a hanging grape decoration to celebrate autumn using ring chains.

Prepare the origami paper by cutting it into long, thin strips ahead of time.

For five-year-olds, give them origami with guide lines drawn so they can cut it themselves.

From the left, connect three columns of rings so they form 4, 6, and 4 rings vertically.

Then, thread another strip of origami through the top ring of each column to gather them into a single bunch of grapes.

Make several grape bunches, string them onto a cord, and your hanging grape decoration is complete.

Adding leaves will make them look even more like grapes.
