Origami Grapes Easy / How to Fold Origami Grapes

Here is how to make an origami grape with large, round, eye-catching berries.

You might think you have to fold each berry one by one, but with this method, you can make a strip of two berries from a sheet of origami paper cut in half.

Connect several of these grape berries to build up a full cluster.

Some of the finer folds can be a bit tricky, so take your time and fold carefully.

Combine the pieces while considering how the berries overlap, and finish by attaching a vine made from brown origami paper.

Then it’s complete.

A ghost with a hat

[Halloween Origami] How to make an easy ghost with a witch hat using just one sheet of paper

This palm-sized ghost is super cute, and you can make it with just one sheet of origami.

Fold the paper into a triangle to create the ghost’s body.

The size of the body will determine the ghost’s shape, so that’s an important point.

Once you draw the face with a felt-tip pen, it’s complete.

Using not just one color but various colors of origami for the ghost’s hat will make it even cuter.

The finished origami is great as a Halloween gift or as a wall decoration.

persimmon

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Fruits: Persimmon with Origami | Origami Persimmon

There are lots of delicious fruits that are in season in autumn.

Persimmons, with their beautiful orange color, are one of the season’s signature fruits—let’s make a persimmon using orange origami paper.

First, fold the origami paper in half, then in half again.

In the resulting quarter section, paste a piece of green origami paper cut to the same size.

As you continue folding, that green area will become the leaves on the persimmon’s calyx.

Finally, glue down the folded leaf part, and you’re done.

It would be fun for everyone to make them together and create a persimmon tree as a wall decoration.
