Pacific saury

[Origami] Autumn Delicacy: Pacific Saury – How to Fold | How to make Pacific Saury #꽁치 #秋刀鱼 #秋刀魚 #折り紙 #おりがみ #origami #折纸 #оригами摺紙 #종이접기

Making origami Pacific saury sounds like a fun, autumn-only craft.

If you use silver origami paper, it will look much more like a shiny fish.

When making it with children, it might be nice to take a good look at a saury’s appearance and check the shape and pattern of the scales.

When folding, the key is to make the body and the tail fin separately.

Fold the body long and slender, and fold the tail so it can flap.

Once it’s finished, it could be fun to show it looking deliciously grilled.

Enjoy your origami time while savoring the flavors of autumn!

chestnut

[Origami] Easy and cute autumn decoration: How to fold a chestnut | How to make a chestnut [Autumn Origami]

Speaking of autumn, it’s a season full of delicious foods.

Among the many tasty autumn treats, I’d like to introduce an origami “chestnut” that I recommend.

The folding method is very simple: fold the paper in half into a triangle to form the chestnut’s shape.

Use the back side of the paper to create the lower part, and simply fold back the excess to complete a perfect chestnut.

Adding little dots or drawing a cute face on the top makes it even more fun.

Since chestnuts are one of the symbolic foods of autumn, it’s also a great idea to enjoy the origami while talking about seasonal autumn foods.
