How to fold a maple leaf (origami)

[Autumn Origami] How to Fold a Maple Leaf Origami Maple [With Voice Commentary] / Grandma’s Origami

At first glance, the maple leaf looks complicated and difficult, but it’s actually very easy to make.

Prepare small origami paper and start folding.

Since you only fold along straight lines, it’s very simple.

Make five identical pieces and glue them together to form the shape of a maple leaf.

Create a stem and glue it into the gaps between the leaves.

You can use classic maple colors like red, yellow, and orange, or try patterned papers like chiyogami, or beautiful gradient origami—highly recommended!

It can be a piece of art! Maple leaf wall decoration

Autumn Decorations: How to Make Maple Leaves — Introducing Wall-Hanging and Hanging Decorations Using Origami and Construction Paper! Why not try making fall foliage for October and November? [Tsukuru-mon]

This decoration combines drawing paper and origami, featuring a soft look and striking, layered three-dimensionality.

You use a sheet of drawing paper with a lattice of cuts as the base, then layer maple leaf pieces on top.

By considering the base’s uneven surface as you add the pieces, you can effectively create depth and a realistic sense of dimension in the foliage.

It may also be important to choose a background color that highlights the maple leaf colors.

A rod and string are attached to the top of the base, making it easy to hang and display in a variety of locations.

Cute maple leaves

[Autumn Origami] Easy! Cute Maple Leaf How to Make / Fall Foliage Decoration Origami Maple

When it comes to plants that symbolize autumn, brilliantly colored red and yellow autumn leaves come to mind.

Let’s make those evocative fall leaves with origami.

This project combines parts to create a three-dimensional finish, resulting in sturdy origami that works not only as part of a decoration but also stands on its own.

Cut small pieces of origami paper with scissors, fold them into diamond shapes, and assemble them to form a maple leaf.

By paying attention to the seam in the center, you’ll achieve a lifelike three-dimensional shape.

You can even aim for a more realistic look by intentionally combining parts of slightly different sizes instead of using pieces that are all the same.

Origami Fallen Leaves

[Origami] The easiest-to-understand way to fold a fallen leaf ☆ with folding diagram | origami Leaf

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when the leaves on the trees turn brilliant colors, and even the scenery after they fall is beautiful, isn’t it? Let’s recreate those beautifully colored leaves with origami.

Fold the paper into a triangle, then add creases to suggest the leaf veins.

The key is to fold along the line that will become the center of the leaf and make the creases there.

Finally, shape it to give it a gentle roundness, trim the edges, and open it up to reveal your finished leaf.

Make leaves in a variety of colors to capture the full feeling of autumn foliage.

Making the maples in various colors—red, yellow, and orange—will give a lovely finish.

Adding creases to the ginkgo and fallen leaves adds depth and makes their swaying motion more delightful.

Cut a painted paper plate into a spiral, then glue on the leaves and maples you made.

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.
