I’ll show you how to make simple yet bright and cute cosmos flowers.
Start with the front side of the origami facing up and fold it in half into a square twice.
Fold it into a triangle aligning the edges, then unfold both sides.
On the loose, flappy side, draw lines imagining the petals of a cosmos flower, and cut along them with scissors.
Open the origami and stick a yellow sticker in the center to finish.
If you make a bunch and decorate your room, it will instantly feel full of autumn! It’s also perfect for practicing scissor skills.
Please give it a try.
Maple leaves you can make from age 3
Here’s how to make a bright red maple leaf.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle, then fold both sides toward the center crease.
Fold the bottom corner up, flip it over, open the pocket section, and squash-fold it flat.
To form the maple leaf blades, gently pull out the leaf parts as you shape them.
If the pressure control is tricky, have an adult help.
Fold the stem of the maple leaf and adjust the shape to finish.
It also looks great using yellow or orange origami paper.
Crickets you can make from age 3
Let’s make an origami cricket, a creature kids love to find on walks.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper to get started.
Fold it into a triangle twice, then open up the pocket area as you unfold.
Fold both sides toward the center line, then open up the pocket area again as you unfold.
Shape the cricket’s body and legs by sharpening the tips as you fold.
By making crisp creases, you’ll end up with a cool, three-dimensional cricket that can stand.
Give it a try!
Chestnuts you can try from around age 3
Here’s an origami chestnut that even preschoolers can enjoy.
Fold the paper in half, then open it and fold the bottom edge up toward the center crease.
Flip the paper over and fold the top half along the line to form a triangle.
Fold the lower left and right corners up along the crease, then round the corners to finish.
Draw a face to create your own cute, original chestnut.
Display the finished chestnut indoors for autumn crafts or as wall decor to bring a sense of the season and add a charming touch.
A chestnut that breaks on the eighth fold
When September comes, it’s the season when chestnuts are delicious.
Let’s fold autumn’s seasonal chestnuts with origami.
After folding the paper in half, fold the left and right corners toward the center line.
Flip the paper over and fold the bottom part of the chestnut toward the center line.
Finally, adjust the shape into a chestnut and you’re done.
You can enjoy different sizes of chestnuts by changing the size of the origami paper.
Also, by folding the corners to create roundness, the chestnut gains a three-dimensional look, resulting in a tasty-looking chestnut perfect for autumn.
