After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up.

Fold the top corner down to meet the center, flip the paper over, and fold the top edge down so that it aligns just above the horizontal crease.

Open it after folding the top left and right edges to match the vertical creases, then valley-fold along the diagonal creases created at the top while collapsing the paper to form the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over and make two roll folds on the bottom corner.

Make a pleat fold at the center of the paper to separate the head and body, then flip it over.

Cut a slit to separate the top left single layer of the pleated section, fold the left and right sides toward the central crease, and shape the tail using the separated section to finish.

One-sheet fold! Autumn tree

[Easy Origami] How to fold an autumn tree from a single sheet — Trees absorb CO₂ from the air and turn it into organic matter | Easy Origami: How to make a cute tree, paper folding tree

Let’s try making a freestanding autumn tree.

We’ll begin with a series of crease-making steps.

Since you’ll be folding along these creases later, please proceed carefully.

Note that there are steps where you only make creases on certain sections without folding everything.

Once the creases are in place, the trunk and the base of the leaves come together in an instant.

The part where you create the branches is a bit tricky, but adding them makes a noticeable difference in the final result, so give it your best.

For the trunk, flatten the pocketed section, and finish by forming a small triangle at the end.

How to fold a 3D persimmon that even 3-year-olds can make!

[Origami] Persimmon 3D Box – Easy Tutorial – Autumn Origami That Kids Can Make From Age 3 – Child-Friendly Instructions – September/October/November Origami [Origami]

Let’s make this idea using double-sided origami paper in orange and green.

The steps up to opening the paper into a diamond—folding the paper into a triangle twice, squashing it into a square, and opening it—are the same as for a crane.

From there, fold the diamond by layering its flaps, then fold the corner that will become the center of the model inward to create a crease.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet that crease, and then, imagining you’re forming a box, repeat the same folds for the remaining three sides.

Unfold the corners you folded down once, make a slit along the horizontal crease, fold it back to the reverse side, and switch the color to green.

This will be the stem.

The center portion will be the fruit, so shape it so it looks plump.

Let’s make a ghost!

[Nursery Teacher / Origami] Let's Make Ghosts! [With 4- and 5-Year-Olds]

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal crease.

From there, make additional creases and squash-fold the left and right sides into boat shapes.

On one of the boats, squash only one corner into a square to create the ghost’s face.

The sides of the face will be the hands, and the remaining part becomes the bottom.

Use the creases on the hands to create indentations so they look three-dimensional—that’s the key.

Soften the head by folding the corners to make it round, and finish by folding the bottom part up at a diagonal.

Draw the face with stickers or a pen to complete it.

An easy way to fold fallen leaves (origami)

[Origami] Fallen Leaf – Easy Folding Method, 3D Crafting – Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3 – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.

Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.

From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.

When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.

Easy! Halloween Pumpkin

[Origami] Halloween Pumpkin [Easy, for ages 3 and up] (Halloween origami)

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.

Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.

Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.

How to fold a cute fox

[Origami] Fox - Easy, Cute, Autumn

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.
