3D mobile decoration of a pumpkin ghost
When it comes to fall events, Halloween is the first that comes to mind, and pumpkin-themed decorations are the classic choice.
Let’s make an essential Halloween jack-o’-lantern using origami.
Fold the origami paper, cut it into the shape of a jack-o’-lantern while it’s folded, then change the creases of each connected part and glue them together to finish.
It’s easy to understand if you insert a string when gluing so you can hang it, but since it has a three-dimensional finish, it might also be nice to leave off the string and use it as a standing decoration.
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.
Cute! A three-dimensional maple leaf
This is a three-dimensional autumn leaf decoration made by creatively adding folds and cuts to construction paper.
Since it’s a single maple leaf, you can use it on its own or incorporate it into larger decorations.
The key is to carefully measure the length of each cut as you go; the more attention you give to the finer details, the sturdier and more three-dimensional the leaf will be.
Be mindful of the amount of glue you use so the color of the construction paper stands out.
It could be fun to make leaves in various colors and assemble them into a large, three-dimensional autumn tree.
sweet potato
How about a sweet potato–themed craft as a wall decoration that evokes autumn? You can easily create one by cutting out sweet potatoes and vines from construction paper and assembling them.
If you want a three-dimensional effect, crumple newspaper into a shape and wrap it with reddish-purple paper to mimic the lumpy texture of a sweet potato.
Adjusting the size and shape, and adding leaves and vines will make the wall display even more vibrant—highly recommended.
Even if going sweet potato digging is difficult, making a wall decoration like this will let you feel the arrival of autumn and enjoy its seasonal flavors!
want to
Sea bream, known as “Momijidai,” comes into season not only in spring but also in autumn.
Let’s enjoy the flavors of the autumn sea by making this delicious autumn sea bream into a wall decoration.
Once you cut out the shape of a sea bream from construction paper, you can cut patterns from paper in different colors and paste them on, or draw scales and other patterns with paint or pens to complete the look—easy! Because sea bream symbolizes good fortune, it’s also popular for New Year’s.
So after using it as a wall decoration in September, be sure to reuse it for New Year’s displays as well.

dragonfly
As if to celebrate the harvest, all kinds of insects appear in autumn, don’t they? Let’s make a dragonfly—one of the insects strongly associated with autumn—out of origami.
You can aim for a realistic dragonfly, or go for a cute, stylized version.
We’ll create parts like the body and wings and then assemble them; by changing the colors, you can end up with a vibrant dragonfly.
If you keep a rounded feel for the body parts and a thin, delicate look for the wings, you’ll achieve a more realistic effect.
Grapes × Cosmos
It’s a decoration that strongly evokes the autumn atmosphere, with grapes inside a basket and cosmos flowers arranged around them.
For the grape cluster, use a sheet of construction paper cut into the shape of grapes as the base, and attach accordion-folded circles to represent the berries.
For the cosmos flowers, layer two petal pieces and attach a yellow piece in the center to complete the flower shape.
Next, create the basket weave by alternating strips of long, narrow brown origami paper, wrap it around the grapes, and place the cosmos around the outside to finish.
Each part involves detailed steps, so it’s a craft that tests concentration and fine motor skills.
