Kuriboh
When autumn comes, many people find themselves craving chestnuts, don’t they? Candied chestnuts are also a classic snack for kids.
Here, we’ll introduce an origami project for Kuribō, a cute chestnut character.
You’ll make it in three parts—head, body, and apron—so prepare two sheets of origami paper of the same size, plus one sheet divided into nine equal pieces.
The overall difficulty is suitable for children, but the body part includes some fine folds, so younger kids may need adult assistance.
Once it’s finished, draw the eyes and mouth to give it a cute look.
Grape decoration
How about trying an origami challenge to make grape decorations that capture the flavors of autumn? Create rounded grape berries with colorful paper and add green leaves for a look that’s almost like the real thing.
Hang them on the wall to bring a rich, seasonal atmosphere to your space.
Making them with your children can be a great chance to learn about fall fruits.
As you enjoy the delicate, hands-on work, you’ll also nurture creativity.
Why not brighten up your room with origami ideas perfect for autumn?
Peach Hanging Ornament
Here’s an idea for a peach hanging decoration that will give your room a cute vibe.
The peaches are made with origami.
It’s very easy, so please give it a try.
First, make a “zabuton fold” by folding all four corners of the origami paper toward the center.
Next, fold three of the corners slightly inward.
Now you’ve got the peach shape.
Next are the leaves.
Use a smaller sheet of origami paper than the one you used for the peach.
Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the base and the left side along the crease.
Without unfolding, overlap and fold the remaining side along the crease as well.
Make two of these, and attach them to the peach while checking the balance—that’s it! Make several and thread them on twine or the like, and hang them in your room.
3D apple
Let me introduce a cute, three-dimensional apple made with origami.
This idea uses the classic “paper balloon” model.
The paper balloon itself is easy enough that even children can fold it, so look up the steps and give it a try.
Since we’re making an apple, use red origami paper.
Once you’ve made the paper balloon, cut another piece of origami into a small strip, fold it several times to make it long and thin, and insert it into the opening where you inflate the balloon.
Then just add a leaf cut out with scissors, and you’re done! It’s very cute, so why not arrange a few in a basket and place it by your entryway?
Kakihime
Let’s try making a cute persimmon princess, Kaki-hime, out of origami.
We’ll make it in separate parts: head, body, leaf, and scarf.
For the persimmon head, fold three corners toward the center, then fold the remaining corner down to the bottom.
Finally, fold each of the four corners slightly inward to finish.
Fold the leaf into a shape like a hydrangea leaf.
The trickiest part is the body, but the folding itself is simple.
There are many steps and some fine details, so if a child is folding it, an adult should help.
The scarf is easy—just fold it three times and tuck it into the body.
Once you’re done, draw the face and stick round stickers on the cheeks to make it extra cute.
Easy Cat
Four connected cats look adorable! Here’s an easy-to-make cat idea.
Autumn is shedding season for cats.
This simple cat-motif craft is recommended for people who have cats at home or those who love cat motifs.
Prepare origami paper, scissors, and a pen for sketching, and give it a try.
You can use any color of origami you like.
If you make it with black or orange origami, it could also work well as a Halloween decoration.
Be sure to try it out!
Easy! How to cut into gingko-leaf slices (ichō-giri)
Let’s make beautiful ginkgo leaves! Here are some easy ideas for cutting out ginkgo shapes.
Many people look forward to watching ginkgo trees turn from green to yellow in autumn.
Why not decorate your room with beautiful ginkgo leaves too? Using yellow-toned origami paper works well.
Start by folding the paper with the colored side facing inward and sketch your outline.
If you capture the ginkgo leaf’s characteristic jagged edges, it will look even more realistic!
Moon-viewing rabbit
Use it for two creations! Here are some ideas for a Moon-Viewing Rabbit.
When you think of autumn, many of you probably picture the moon-viewing festival, right? Let’s make a decoration for your room to prepare for the occasion! You’ll need a compass, a pen, and yellow origami paper.
The video also shows how to draw a circle without using a compass, so check it out for reference.
The rabbit pounding mochi against the full moon is beautiful, isn’t it? Another nice point is that the cutout pieces can be repurposed for a separate project!
Acorns and squirrels
The squirrels holding big acorns are so cute! Here are some ideas featuring acorns and squirrels.
When you think of squirrels, they live by eating nuts and the like, right? This time, let’s make a pair of squirrels working together to carry a large acorn.
You’ll need scissors, origami paper, and a pen.
Choosing origami in your favorite colors will help set the mood.
First, fold the origami paper twice and sketch your outline.
Be careful not to mix up the orientation of the paper while you do this.
Acorn Parent and Child
The way they look like they’re holding hands is so cute! Here’s an idea for an acorn parent-and-child craft.
When it comes to autumn, many children probably look forward to collecting acorns.
Seeing acorns on the roadside really gives you a sense of the season, doesn’t it? This time, why not make a hand-holding acorn parent and child using origami paper, scissors, and a pen? Choose any colors you like for the origami paper.
It could be fun to make the pieces in different colors for a colorful finish.
Adding unique expressions to the acorns would make it even more enjoyable!
