Pacific saury

[Origami] Pacific Saury – Easy Folding Instructions | How to Make It | Autumn Origami ♪

Great for autumn crafts! Here’s a fun idea for making a Pacific saury (sanma).

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, colored pencils, and scissors.

Sanma is a classic autumn fish that really captures the season’s appetite.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then unfold it and fold both sides toward the crease.

Next, fold one third inward, and repeat on the other side.

Make small cuts at the tip with scissors, fold it diagonally inward, then fold it outward.

Fold the opposite side toward the center, flip it over, and draw the pattern—done! Add details with colored pencils to make your sanma look even more realistic.

Full Moon Rabbit

[Origami for Moon Viewing] Easy and cute full moon rabbit made with a single sheet of origami / Autumn origami decoration for September — Origami Full Moon Rabbit Folding

Here’s a way to make a full moon and a rabbit from a single sheet of origami paper.

Start with yellow origami paper, color side facing in, and begin with the double-layer boat base, stopping when only one side is folded into a boat.

Fold the left and right corners of the boat section upward, leaving a small gap at the center line.

Next, fold the left and right corners diagonally inward, then tuck in the top corner to shape the rabbit’s ears.

Use scissors to make slits on the top layer on both sides; then make small cuts at the lower part of the rabbit so the bottom becomes rectangular, and continue folding to refine the shape of the rabbit’s face.

Fold the rabbit so it sits on top of the yellow paper.

For the yellow moon, tuck in the corners to round it into a circle, and you’re done! Feel free to draw the face as you like.
