How to Make Autumn Origami: Easy Ginkgo Leaf (Fallen Leaf) Origami for Kids – Origami Ginkgo Leaves Easy

This is a simple origami project that elementary school children can enjoy: a ginkgo leaf.

Ginkgo leaves that have turned yellow have a distinctive shape, don’t they? Pay attention to that shape as you enjoy making this origami.

You’ll make the leaf and the stem as separate parts and combine them at the end.

The ginkgo leaf is made using half the size of a standard origami sheet, but feel free to make it in any size you like, such as even smaller ones! It could also be fun to make lots of leaf pieces to represent a ginkgo tree.

[Halloween Origami] How to Fold a Skull with Voice Subtitles and Crease Lines ★ Halloween Skull Origami Tutorial, October Decorations

Perfect for Halloween, this is a cute origami skull.

First, fold the paper into a rectangle twice, then tuck it in so it becomes a square.

Open it up, and shape the top section into the face and the bottom section into the teeth.

A key tip: when you first fold it into a rectangle, leave a tiny gap between the lines that meet.

That way, the teeth look slightly gapped, which makes it look more skull-like.

For the eyes and nose, you can glue on colored paper punched out with a craft punch, or draw them with a pen.

Make lots of them to create a lively display!

garland

Let's decorate your room with an origami garland! [Halloween]

When it comes to classic ideas for brightening up a room with wall decorations, garlands are a go-to.

Since it’s October, using orange and purple paper to give it a Halloween vibe is perfect! Fold origami paper into isosceles triangles and stick jack-o’-lantern and ghost stickers on the visible side.

Make several of these and string them together with thread—that’s it! Simple is best: a quick and easy autumn origami craft.

Pairing it with other decorations like balloon displays can really elevate the atmosphere, too.

kiwi

[Origami] How to Fold a 'Kiwi' <Yoshimoto Comedian>

When it comes to fall fruits, many people think of apples and grapes.

But in fact, kiwis are also a fruit that see higher harvests from autumn through winter.

So, why not try making a kiwi out of origami? The finished kiwi is super cute.

There are quite a few steps where you create crease lines, and since you fold along those creases, accuracy is important.

If you’re making it with children, prepare the paper by adding the creases beforehand and give it to them.

As long as the creases are set, there aren’t any difficult steps afterward, so definitely give this adorable origami kiwi a try!

cricket

[How to Fold Origami] Let’s Make a Cricket that Chirps in Autumn Using Origami

When it comes to insects that represent autumn, crickets are right up there with bell crickets.

When you hear their chirping, it feels as if the cool autumn night breeze slips right into your chest.

How about making a cricket out of origami? Up to a certain point, the folding is similar to a crane, and after that you shape the wings, legs, and face.

The finished piece looks quite realistic—like a real insect—especially with the segmented feel of the legs.

If you want to level up the quality, I recommend using bead eyes sold at 100-yen shops.
