Grapes made with origami

Open the origami after folding it into a triangle, and place it so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the two left edges in to meet the crease, then fold the right corner toward the center.

If the origami forms an isosceles triangle, the base for the grapes is complete.

Apply double-sided tape to the front and attach crumpled tissue paper to represent the grape berries.

Finally, glue on a stem made from construction paper to finish.

Using several shades of the same color for the tissue paper gives a vibrant look.

Switch to green to make muscat grapes.

Perfect for autumn! Dragonfly origami

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice and into a square twice to make crease lines.

Open it, then fold the bottom corner to the center line, and use the creases to collapse the paper into a square base.

Squash the two white triangular flaps showing on the front into squares to the left and right, then fold the two outer edges in to meet the center crease to shape the dragonfly’s wings.

From here, use the remaining sections to form the head and body.

There are several steps, but the work itself is simple.

Fold carefully, one step at a time.

Once you’re done, stick on round stickers with black pupils to finish your cute dragonfly.

Fold the first piece of origami into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the same parts back to create the fox’s ears, then flip the origami so top and bottom are reversed.

Fold the remaining top corner downward, turn the paper over, and make a step fold with the top layer of the bottom corner.

Tuck the remaining bottom layer to the back.

Fold in the left and right corners by about 5 mm to round them, and the face is complete.

For the body, use the second sheet and follow the same steps as the head up to folding the left and right corners to the top corner.

From there, fold back only the upper left corner to make the tail, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the body.

Attach the head, draw the face, and you’re done.

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.

Autumn leaves that can be made from age 3

[Origami] Maple Leaf (Momiji) - Easy Tutorial - Autumn Origami You Can Make from Age 3 - Kid-Friendly Folding Method - September, October, and November Origami [Origami]

Open the paper after folding it into a triangle, place it so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the two left edges to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so the newly made point is at the bottom, then turn it over.

Fold it in half by bringing the top and bottom points together, turn it over again, and squash the pocketed section into a triangle while folding it to overlap the shape below.

Fold up the lower front and back corners to sandwich the top triangle you just squashed, then open the corners of that sandwiched triangle to both sides to form the maple leaf.

Fold down the large triangle on the front, then squash-fold the left and right corners to create the leaf stem, and you’re done.

Chestnuts you can try from age 3

Origami “Chestnut” – Easy folding method suitable from around age 3

After folding the origami squarely in half, open it up.

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

Turn the paper over and fold the top two corners in toward the center.

Fold the bottom two corners inward to make triangles, then fold the new left and right corners even farther inward.

Turn the origami back to the front—and your chestnut is complete! Finish it by coloring the white part with crayons or drawing a face on the colored part.

If you make a second one with smaller origami paper, you might end up with a parent-and-child pair of chestnuts!
