Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel out of origami, perfect for autumn crafts.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Then, as if making a paper cup, fold both corners inward so they cross over and overlap.

Turn the paper upside down, and fold the corners you just made upward to create the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over, and fold up one layer of the bottom corner into a triangle.

Fold a small part of that corner to the back to represent the squirrel’s white belly.

Flip the paper over again, fold up the remaining bottom corner, then make a small cut near the left edge and shape it into the tail.

Draw the body pattern and face with a pen to finish.

Owls are known as lucky charms, and they’re often used in preschools as a classic autumn theme.

The origami owl we’re introducing starts by folding the paper into a triangle, then aligning the corners toward the center line.

Use the crease lines to form the owl’s body.

Next, fold the top corner down toward the center of the color-change area to make the owl’s face.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center to shape the owl.

The key is to fold while adding a gentle roundness to the form.

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when mushrooms are delicious.

So let’s make a mushroom out of origami.

First, fold up the bottom edge of the origami paper.

Make sure the folded section and the remaining white section are the same width.

Turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges in to meet at the center.

Open the pockets on both sides and squash them into triangles, then fold the corners on both sides of each triangle inward.

To finish, fold the corners of the stem and the lower part of the cap to round them off.

It would also look cute if you draw a face on it.

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.

First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.

Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.

Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.

If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.
