Full Moon Rabbit

[Origami for Moon Viewing] Easy and cute full moon rabbit made with a single sheet of origami / Autumn origami decoration for September — Origami Full Moon Rabbit Folding

This is a craft project where you create the image of a rabbit emerging on a full moon using a single sheet of origami paper.

By cleverly folding to form both the moon and the rabbit at the same time, it also helps develop fine finger movements.

As you proceed while understanding which part you are folding, the enjoyment of seeing it gradually come together should increase.

Once you’ve made the round full moon and the rabbit shape, draw the rabbit’s facial expression to finish.

Since this is a craft that reproduces a set form, add originality through how you draw the expression.

roasted sweet potato

[Origami] How to Fold a Baked 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.

Make the grape stem and leaves from construction paper in the same way and attach them to create realistic-looking grapes.

Also, instead of using a single color of paper, try mixing colors like blue, light blue, purple, and lavender to give the grapes a more realistic appearance.

Ginkgo in autumn

[Craft/DIY] Autumn Ginkgo Made with Easy Torn-Paper Collage

A row of ginkgo trees turning color in autumn is beautiful, isn’t it? Yellow is a color that lifts your mood, so if you incorporate autumn ginkgo into a torn-paper collage, it will surely give you energy.

You can draw the tree trunks on drawing paper in advance with crayons or colored pencils, or make them with torn paper—either is fine.

Create the ginkgo leaves by tearing yellow origami, washi, or ads.

If it’s hard to tear out their distinctive shape, any approximate shape is perfectly fine.

By mixing in not only yellow but also brown, red, and other colors, you can express a lively scene of autumn ginkgo trees.
