Cute persimmons perfect for autumn

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Persimmon Folding Method / Decoration, Food, Fruit — Origami Persimmon

A quintessential autumn fruit! Let me show you how to make a persimmon.

Prepare one 15 cm square of orange origami paper and one 7.5 cm square of green origami paper.

First, fold the top and bottom edges of the 15 cm paper to meet at the center to make a rectangle.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to a vertical orientation, then fold it in half top to bottom to make a crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom toward that center crease again, but fold slightly short of the crease rather than exactly on it.

Make the folds so that the folded sections and the remaining central section are the same width.

Finally, fold all four corners inward to complete the fruit.

For the leaf, do a “zabuton” fold three times with the green paper.

On the third time, slightly fold the corners first, then fold toward the center.

Flip the paper over, open and flatten the four pouch-like sections, then fold the corners to finish.

Attach it to the fruit to complete your persimmon.

Autumn Origami! How to Fold a Mushroom

How to Fold an Autumn Origami Mushroom [Easy Origami Lesson]

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue to make a cute, original mushroom.

We’ll create it in two parts: the cap and the stem.

For the cap, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to shape it like a mushroom cap.

For the stem, make a triangular crease, then fold the left and right corners toward the center twice.

Tuck the tip into the crease, adjust the shape, and round it out to complete the stem.

Glue the cap and stem together, add the round stickers, and enjoy making your own original mushroom!

A self-standing pine cone!

[Origami] Pine Cone – Autumn Decoration, Winter Decoration, Easy, Self-Standing

A three-dimensional pine cone that’s perfect for autumn decorations can be made by gluing together several parts.

Prepare four pieces cut from a single sheet of origami paper divided into quarters.

Fold each piece into a triangle, then fold both sides up at positions set slightly away from the center line.

Open it up and fold the triangular tip to create a part.

Make four identical parts, then glue them together to form the shape of a pine cone.

The key is to glue them while checking the balance and width.

Give this three-dimensional, autumn-inspired pine cone a try!

Let’s make a bagworm wreath!

Let’s make a wreath with a swinging bagworm! Cut out the center of a paper plate so only the rim remains, spread glue on it, and stick on crumpled tissue paper from the top.

For the bagworm, cut colored construction paper into parts and assemble them by gluing.

While real cocoons are usually brown, since this is a decoration, it’s fun to finish it colorfully by adding round stickers.

You can draw the face with a pen or use round stickers for it.

Attach twine to the bagworm and hang it in the center of the paper plate, and your cute wreath is complete.

After enjoying free drawing with markers on a coffee filter, turning it into a bleeding/absorption painting is a fun craft idea.

Once you’ve made the bleeding effect, let the coffee filter dry and cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.

Attach them with double-sided tape to the base of a mino (a straw raincoat) made from construction paper.

Then stick on the face and hat, also made from construction paper.

Finally, draw the face with a pen or crayon, and it’s complete! The patterns and marker colors create unique variations in each mino, which is really fun.

Two types of Mushichan only for infants and toddlers

Here are two fun bagworm craft ideas using twisted tissue paper and paper tape loops.

First, cut a square piece of tissue paper and round off one side with scissors.

Gently twist the side you didn’t cut, and glue it onto a base for the bagworm made from construction paper.

Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make a colorful “mino” (the bag).

Attach a face made from construction paper to finish.

For the paper tape version, cut the tape to a suitable length, glue one end to the base, then overlap the other end to form a loop and secure it.

Cover the whole body in rows, and finish it the same way by adding the face.

A bagworm papercraft made with an envelope

Let me share an idea for making a bagworm using a brown envelope.

Cut off the top of the envelope with scissors, then fold the top left and right corners to the back.

Stick on eyes made by layering white and black round stickers, and then decorate the body with colored paper or yarn to represent the case.

Tear the colored paper into small pieces beforehand, and cut the yarn into suitable lengths.

Finally, tape a piece of jute string to the back of the envelope, and it’s done.

In addition to colored paper and yarn, you could also glue on leaves or small twigs you collected on a walk for a cute touch.
