roasted sweet potato

[Origami] How to Fold a Baked Sweet Potato

roasted sweet potato

Autumn is often called the season of hearty appetites, and it’s when many foods are especially delicious.

Let’s make one of those autumn treats—roasted sweet potatoes—out of origami.

Because the process is simple—just folding purple origami paper into the shape of a sweet potato—it’s important to be mindful of capturing the potato’s soft, rounded form and finishing it in a way that looks tasty.

Rather than making crisp, firm creases, lightly folding the paper will give it a softer look, which is also recommended.

While the purple peel is important, making the yellow interior and the wrapping paper three-dimensional will make it look even more appetizing.

Autumn wall decorations and hanging ornaments

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to make grapes 🍇 Stylish autumn wall and hanging decorations | DIY How to make paper grapes, muscat.

Autumn wall decorations and hanging ornaments

Let’s make loops out of construction paper or origami in grape-like colors and combine them to create a three-dimensional bunch of grapes.

It’s a simple, repetitive process of linking loops, so it’s easy to do while still giving fingers a good workout.

Using not just single loops but multiple consecutive loops lined up conveys the look of a richly fruited bunch.

Also, instead of sticking to the same purple, using a variety of colors will create a gradient that enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos Wreath / Flower Papercutting 72

Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos, a representative flower of autumn—why not brighten up your room with a wreath of origami flowers? Fold a single sheet of paper into eighths, then cut it into a petal shape as if making a paper cutout; when you unfold it, you’ll have a cosmos with eight petals.

There are no intricate folding steps to create petal details, so it’s beginner-friendly.

Use several colors of paper—pink, orange, yellow, white, red—to add vibrancy.

It’s even better if you use origami of different sizes to make flowers both large and small.

A maple scenery with a window

Introducing how to make an autumn maple leaf wall decoration using origami and paper cords! Why not try creating it on the walls of facilities during the fall foliage season in October and November? [Tsukuru-mon]

A maple scenery with a window

This decoration uses origami and paper cords to depict an autumn foliage scene as seen through a round window.

Using paper gives the whole piece a soft feel, and it also creates a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of windows in a traditional inn or restaurant.

The steps are simple: first, use bundled, thickened paper cords to make the circular window frame and lattice.

Next, cut origami to create maple trees and leaves, and arrange them on the wall.

Finally, paste the window frame you made at the beginning over the foliage to complete the piece.

The key is how you attach each part—adhere only part of each piece so the rest lifts slightly off the surface, which enhances the soft look.

Highly recommended.

Mural of autumn leaves

[Easy] October Wall Mural: Autumn Foliage #dayservice #daycare #outpatientrehab #caregiving #seniors #crafts #autumnleaves #maple

Mural of autumn leaves

Let’s make maple leaves using red, orange, and yellow construction paper.

First, fold a sheet of construction paper in half, place a template on top, and cut out the maple leaf following the template.

Next, open the paper and draw the veins with crayons.

Make many leaves using this method and stick them on the wall so they overlap slightly.

If you also create buildings, mountains, and other elements with different sheets of construction paper and combine them, it will add depth and make the wall display even more attractive.

The steps are simple, but you’ll need quite a few pieces, so try making them little by little.
