Hanging decoration of autumn leaves
https://www.tiktok.com/@hanamikoto8/video/7418524907274865938Enjoy fall foliage indoors! Here are ideas for hanging maple-leaf decorations.
You’ll need origami paper, scissors, string, and a stapler.
There aren’t many folds and the steps are simple, so it’s easy to try.
The finished leaves are three-dimensional and adorable! The key is to cut the origami while slightly changing the leaf sizes.
Red and orange papers are lovely, but gradient origami paper is also recommended.
Give it a try!
raccoon dog
Draw any expression you like! Here are some cute tanuki (raccoon dog) craft ideas.
You’ll need origami paper, a pen, and glue.
The folds are simple and there aren’t many steps, so it’s easy to try! After folding the tanuki’s face, you’ll attach a gourd-shaped piece, so prepare that in advance.
It could also be fun to decorate by placing a fallen leaf on the finished tanuki’s head.
Creating your own special piece will make a lovely autumn memory! Making the body from construction paper or origami also sounds enjoyable.
Give it a try!
plump grapes
The plump, three-dimensional shape is so cute! Here’s an idea for making puffy paper-grape art.
You’ll need three sheets of purple origami paper, one sheet of light green origami paper, craft glue, scissors, a compass, and a pen.
Since you’ll be using scissors and a compass, we recommend making this in an environment where a parent or teacher can supervise to ensure safe use.
The finished grapes look adorably plump and three-dimensional, and they’ll brighten up any room when displayed! You can also change the color of the origami paper to match different grape varieties.
Give it a try!

steaming hot roasted sweet potato
Perfect for autumn appetites and sweet potato crafts! Here are some ideas for delicious-looking, piping-hot roasted sweet potatoes.
What you’ll need: purple origami paper, and yellow or brown crayons or colored pencils.
The key step is folding to express the curved line that appears when you split the potato in two.
The inside of the roasted sweet potato can also show personality through how you color it and the depth of the shades.
Also, when you paste the finished roasted sweet potatoes onto construction paper for display, using aluminum foil can make it look more realistic and fun.
Try getting creative with how you arrange the display, too!
fox
Adorably big ears! Here’s a fox craft idea.
You’ll need origami paper in yellow, orange, or brown, a pen, and small round stickers.
The steps are simple, so it’s easy to try! When you glue the finished fox onto construction paper, adding autumn plants or fallen leaves will enhance the mood.
The key point while making it is the fox’s large ears.
If you align the corners of the origami precisely, it will turn out neat and clean.
Give it a try!
sweet potato
The sweet potato origami sounds like it will be fun to make.
Using yam-colored paper to express the roundness of a sweet potato seems like it would be an exciting experience for the children.
Starting with basic folds and gradually shaping it should also help nurture their creativity.
If you display the finished pieces on the walls or in the hallway, the classroom will be filled with an autumn atmosphere.
Through sweet potatoes, enjoy origami together while feeling the flavors of fall and the joy of the harvest.
pumpkin
Speaking of Halloween, the big event of autumn, you can’t go without a jack-o’-lantern pumpkin.
This round pumpkin shape is easy enough for a five-year-old to fold, with the pointed part treated as the stem and folded up.
The key to this method is that the creases become the pumpkin’s ribs.
Orange origami paper is the standard, but using colors kids love—like purple or green—adds originality.
Feel the season through the event, and enjoy making autumn crafts with origami!
