Cosmos wreath you can make with origami

[Origami] Cosmos Wreath – Easy 3D Folding Tutorial | Autumn Flower Origami | Kid-Friendly Instructions | September–October–November Origami [Origami]

Use four 7.5 cm origami sheets for the cosmos and four 15 cm sheets for the base.

First, fold a 7.5 cm sheet into a triangle, then cross the left and right corners inward and fold so they overlap neatly.

Fold the folded sections back to align with the outer edges, crease well, then open those parts and squash-fold them flat.

Tuck both corners of the squashed section to the back, and cut small triangular notches into the three top corners—this completes one petal piece.

Glue four pieces together to make the cosmos, and place a round sticker in the center.

For the base, fold the top and bottom corners to the center of the paper, then fold the whole thing in half by overlapping top and bottom.

Aligning with the top left and right corners, fold the bottom edge up on each side; once creased, squash-fold those sections.

Make four of these, glue them into a circle, and attach the cosmos to finish the wreath.

Making the cosmos in different colors will look bright and festive.

Yarn Winding! Bagworm Ornament

[Autumn Craft] Yarn-Wrapped Bagworm Ornament

Let’s try making a bagworm craft that also lets you have fun with yarn.

First, glue colored construction paper onto white construction paper and cut it into an egg shape.

Make small slits around the edge, then wind the yarn around and around, tucking it into the slits as you go.

Wrap gently so the paper doesn’t warp, but firmly enough that the yarn doesn’t loosen and come off.

Once you’ve finished wrapping the yarn, decorate the case with round stickers, draw the face with a pen, add a touch of pink to the cheeks with blush, and you’re done!

Autumn wall display! Mushrooms and bagworms

[Autumn Wall Decorations] A Preschool Teacher Explains Mushrooms and Bagworms! (For Ages 3–5)

This is a wall decoration of mushrooms and bagworms that’s fun to stick on with glue.

First, make the parts.

Using construction paper in your favorite colors, cut out mushrooms in various shapes.

If you’re working with small children, please cut them in advance.

After cutting slits in the mushrooms, cut separate pieces of construction paper to serve as the stems.

Next, make the bagworms.

Have the children help with what they can, like drawing the eyes.

Now for the assembly.

Tear pieces of construction paper and glue them onto a background sheet to form the bagworm’s body.

Add the eyes and a little hat, too.

Finally, overlap the mushroom pieces at the slits and glue them so they become three-dimensional—that’s it, you’re done.

Autumn Origami Wreath

November Origami: Autumn Grove, Squirrel, and Acorn

Here’s an idea for a wreath you can make entirely from origami—from the base to all the parts.

You’ll be making three parts: the base, a squirrel, and a tree.

Since you’ll need several of each, try spreading the work over a few days.

For the base, fold four pieces the way you would when making a traditional “trick boat” (damashibune), creating parts where two boats overlap, then join the four pieces into a circle.

For the squirrel, first fold the left and right edges to meet at the center, then the top and bottom in the same way.

Next, fold up both corners of the top edge to make the ears, and cut along the crease at the lower right to form the tail.

For the tree, fold it four times so it approaches a triangular shape, and it’s done.

Take this chance to try creating a lovely autumn-themed piece!

Autumn fruit! Persimmon with origami

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

Fold the orange origami paper in half twice to make a small square, crease well, and open it.

With the colored side facing up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease.

On the white section you folded up, stick a piece of green origami paper of the same size.

Rotate the paper top-to-bottom, then flip it over, and fold the top left and right edges in to meet the vertical center line.

Flip the paper over and fold the top green triangle downward.

Flip the paper over again, open the green pocket into a triangle, and flatten it.

Fold the bottom left and right corners up to match the shape of the orange triangle above, then fold the left and right corners inward to round the shape like a persimmon.

Flip the paper over and fold down the two triangles sticking out at the top to finish.

Fall foliage viewing in your room!

Cut a sheet of origami paper into four equal strips (tanzaku) with scissors and separate them.

You’ll use only three, so set one aside for another craft.

Fold each of the three pieces in half vertically, then in half horizontally, in that order.

For just one of the three pieces, cut along the crease made by the horizontal fold to split it in two.

Take one of these halves, fold it so its length is halved, and round off the corner on the side where the layers are not connected.

Insert the remaining uncut piece between the others, and make a matching curved cut slightly above the first curve.

Cut the remaining two pieces in the same way, staple them together at the base, and then fan open the layers—the shape will look like a maple leaf.

Cute autumn-leaf origami

@cuty_diyorigami

Super easy ♡ Beautiful autumn leaves ♡#craft#handmade#diy#tiktok classroom#HandmadeGirlsautumn leaves#FlowerAutumn: the changing of the seasonsOrigami ChallengeArtBeautiful

♬ Buddy – HIRAIDAI

Here’s an idea for a maple leaf made by combining parts.

If you use 7.5 cm origami paper, you’ll get a nicely sized leaf.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.

Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the left edge in to meet the crease.

Next, fold the right corner toward the center and tuck it underneath the section you just folded.

With the isosceles triangle positioned upside down, fold the top edge from both sides to align with the center line.

Open the small triangles on the left and right into diamond shapes, and one part is complete.

Make five identical parts, stack and glue them together, then roll another piece of origami to make the stem and attach it.
