Origami and finger-stamp mushrooms

Let’s make cute mushrooms using origami and finger stamps.

Choose an origami sheet in your favorite color and fold it once into a triangle.

You can use just one color or combine several.

When you’re done, cut out paper shapes for the mushroom pattern and assemble them to finish! It’s also a great idea to pair them with tree-shaped cutouts or combine mushrooms that kids have made to create an autumn wall display.

Cat message card

[One sheet of origami] Easy ✨ Standing cat message card 🐈 How to make cat #고양이 #Totoro #万圣节 #Halloween #ハロウィン #howtofold #origami #easy #origami (JP/EN) #종이 #折纸

How about folding a cute black cat out of origami that will stand out at Halloween events? If you stick a piece of white origami under the cat’s yellow, glowing eyes on the black base, it can double as a message card.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

Fold one side toward the center and cut off the other side.

Next, fold so that it sticks out slightly past the center, then fold up the bottom section to adjust it into a cat shape.

Cut the separated piece of origami into a circle, and with the white side facing forward, paste it on to complete your message card.

Make sure the ears are stylishly sharp and upright!

Six types of autumn origami

[Can be done in 2 minutes] Simple and cute! 6 types of autumn origami 🎃👻🍄

These are cute origami pieces with autumn motifs—such as chestnuts, mushrooms, acorns, and Pacific saury—that even small children can enjoy making.

For example, to make a chestnut, fold it into a triangle and unfold once.

Then fold the top down toward the center, fold down the top-right and top-left corners to gather the shape, flip it over, fold again, and adjust the shape to finish—super simple.

Add eye stickers to the acorn for instant cuteness.

Kids’ favorites like ghosts and hats—familiar from autumn field trips—are great to try, too!

Simple 3D Mushroom

[Origami] Mushroom Mountain (Kinoko no Yama)

Let’s try making a 3D mushroom using two sheets of origami paper.

First, use the brown paper to fold the cap.

Fold the paper in half twice to make a smaller square, open it up, form a triangle, and then make a few more folds to finish—so the difficulty level isn’t high.

Next, take the light yellow paper, fold it in half, then crease it into four equal sections and shape it like a triangular prism.

Finally, combine the two pieces to complete your 3D mushroom.

If you look at the finished piece, it looks just like Meiji’s Kinoko no Yama! Kids might be delighted if you make one and show it to them.
