Autumn hanging ornaments

How to Make Autumn Hanging Decorations with Origami and Paper Plates (with Audio Commentary) [Tsukurumon]

Enjoy the feeling of the season even while indoors! Here are some ideas for autumn hanging decorations.

This one involves cutting a paper plate into a spiral and using it as the base for your ornaments.

Choose decorations that symbolize autumn—origami maple leaves or ginkgo leaves, for example.

Attach them while adjusting the placement to keep a nice balance.

By the way, if you also attach decorations to the back side of the paper plate, it will give the piece a more three-dimensional look.

Autumn wall decorations and hanging ornaments

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to make grapes 🍇 Stylish autumn wall and hanging decorations | DIY How to make paper grapes, muscat.

Let’s make loops out of construction paper or origami in grape-like colors and combine them to create a three-dimensional bunch of grapes.

It’s a simple, repetitive process of linking loops, so it’s easy to do while still giving fingers a good workout.

Using not just single loops but multiple consecutive loops lined up conveys the look of a richly fruited bunch.

Also, instead of sticking to the same purple, using a variety of colors will create a gradient that enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos Wreath / Flower Papercutting 72

Cosmos, a representative flower of autumn—why not brighten up your room with a wreath of origami flowers? Fold a single sheet of paper into eighths, then cut it into a petal shape as if making a paper cutout; when you unfold it, you’ll have a cosmos with eight petals.

There are no intricate folding steps to create petal details, so it’s beginner-friendly.

Use several colors of paper—pink, orange, yellow, white, red—to add vibrancy.

It’s even better if you use origami of different sizes to make flowers both large and small.

A maple scenery with a window

Introducing how to make an autumn maple leaf wall decoration using origami and paper cords! Why not try creating it on the walls of facilities during the fall foliage season in October and November? [Tsukuru-mon]

This decoration uses origami and paper cords to depict an autumn foliage scene as seen through a round window.

Using paper gives the whole piece a soft feel, and it also creates a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of windows in a traditional inn or restaurant.

The steps are simple: first, use bundled, thickened paper cords to make the circular window frame and lattice.

Next, cut origami to create maple trees and leaves, and arrange them on the wall.

Finally, paste the window frame you made at the beginning over the foliage to complete the piece.

The key is how you attach each part—adhere only part of each piece so the rest lifts slightly off the surface, which enhances the soft look.

Highly recommended.

A cute three-dimensional origami squirrel

[Origami] How to make a cute squirrel: an easy way to fold a 3D squirrel | How to make an Origami Squirrel

Autumn is also the season for harvesting nuts and fruits, so we tend to picture squirrels busily scurrying around to gather them.

Let’s recreate an adorable squirrel—an animal that symbolizes autumn—using origami.

Starting with a long, narrow triangle based on diagonal creases as guides, we’ll shape the legs, face, and tail using reverse folds and other techniques.

It’s important to fold symmetrically along the center line, aiming for a figure that can stand on its own.

Finish by drawing the face and stripe patterns.

Because the creases are fine, this project helps develop precise finger movements and concentration.

A cute cluster of grapes made by combining origami pieces—the layered paper creates a nice sense of depth.

Make parts using folds that give the berries roundness and depth, then combine them to form the whole cluster.

The shape and three-dimensionality will change depending on how you assemble them, so try a variety of patterns.

Finish by attaching the stem and leaf pieces.

It could also be fun to make the berry pieces in different colors on purpose to see how the impression changes.

Simple Maple Leaf

Here’s an easy way to fold a maple leaf using a single sheet of origami paper without scissors or glue.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, open it, then fold along the opposite diagonal into a triangle and open it to create crease lines.

Fold the left and right sides inward to meet the center crease.

Turn it over and match the bottom triangle to the top triangle.

Rotate the paper back to its original orientation, open the pockets, and fold them along the center line.

Fold the bottom triangle up in half, turn it over, fold back the upper left and right sections, and shape it into a maple leaf.

You’re done!
