fox

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Craft! Cute Fox with Origami ♪ | Origami Fox

Let’s make an autumn-colored fox in origami with yellowish-brown fur! It’s best to make the head and body separately and combine them afterward.

For the head, fold a triangle, then fold both ends upward so it forms the fox’s long, narrow face.

For the body, just fold a triangle and then fold one end diagonally—done! Put these together and your fox is complete.

Draw the eyes and nose with a pen afterward.

You can also make foxes in different sizes to create a parent and child, or fox friends playing together.

mushroom

[Easy Origami Mushroom] Autumn Origami 1: How to make an origami mushroom.

As one of the quintessential foods of autumn, mushrooms are surely indispensable.

The way they peek out from between fallen leaves has a certain charm.

Let’s try making mushrooms using origami.

The key point is to make fine creases to create the mushroom’s rounded shape.

By adjusting the folding method and cleverly using the reverse side of the paper, you can complete an adorable mushroom with differently colored cap and stem.

Their simple cuteness makes them perfect as accents in drawings or as part of decorations.

Autumn Origami: Easy Dragonfly Folding Tutorial [With Voice Commentary]

Let’s make a dragonfly out of origami, like the ones you see flying around in the fall! First, fold the paper in half into a triangle twice, with the colored side facing out.

Next, open the flaps of the triangle on both sides and squash-fold them to form a square.

With the open end at the top on both sides, fold the sides toward the center, open them up, and shape them.

Open along those creases to make a diamond shape.

With the split end at the bottom, fold both sides toward the center.

Then fold those sections upward so they form roughly a right angle.

Tuck one of the tips slightly inward to make the dragonfly’s head, and also tuck the central triangular section inward.

The remaining parts will be the wings, so make a cut down the middle with scissors—and you’re done! In fact, the steps are almost the same as making a crane.
