roasted sweet potato

[Origami] How to Fold a Baked Sweet Potato

Autumn is often called the season of hearty appetites, and it’s when many foods are especially delicious.

Let’s make one of those autumn treats—roasted sweet potatoes—out of origami.

Because the process is simple—just folding purple origami paper into the shape of a sweet potato—it’s important to be mindful of capturing the potato’s soft, rounded form and finishing it in a way that looks tasty.

Rather than making crisp, firm creases, lightly folding the paper will give it a softer look, which is also recommended.

While the purple peel is important, making the yellow interior and the wrapping paper three-dimensional will make it look even more appetizing.

Cute full moon rabbit

Autumn moon viewing is an important event, as it’s also known for the Harvest Moon.

Let’s make the essential moon-and-rabbit motif for moon viewing with origami.

In this design, you fold yellow origami paper back into the shape of a rabbit, creating the look of a rabbit appearing on the moon.

Because it’s completed with a single sheet of origami paper, the finished piece has a unified feel—that’s a key point to note.

By forming the rabbit with fine reverse folds and giving it a three-dimensional finish, you can clearly convey the impression that it’s emerging from the moon.

You can aim for a realistic dragonfly, or go for a cute, stylized version.
