Cute maple leaves

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.

Here’s an award-worthy wall decoration idea using makeup sponges! Dab paint-soaked sponges onto shoji paper.

The naturally blurred colors give it a stylish, cute look.

Once the paper is dry, fold it and cut out petal shapes with scissors.

Next, gather some yellow tissue paper and use a plastic bottle cap to create a three-dimensional flower center.

Combine the two, and you’ve got pastel-colored autumn cosmos! Make lots to fill your room and bring in the fall vibe!

One classic food made with persimmons is hoshigaki (dried persimmons).

Many people love them.

Hoshigaki are made by hanging persimmons to dry.

How about recreating that scene? First, fold a persimmon using origami.

At this point, you can choose a slightly muted color or even a patterned paper.

Next, prepare some string and hang them up.

It might be fun to add variations, like arranging them horizontally instead of in a single vertical line.

Or you could line up lots of them.

origami mushroom

Autumn is the season when leaves pile up on the ground, and it strongly evokes the image of mushrooms growing beneath them.

Let’s make one of these autumn symbols—a mushroom—using a single sheet of origami paper.

The steps bring the colored side to the cap and the white reverse side to the stem.

Pay close attention to the reverse folds to create a clear step between the cap and the stem, then refine the shape with small adjustments to give it an overall rounded look.

It already looks like a mushroom as is, but it’s also fun to develop creativity by drawing your own patterns to make it look even more mushroom-like.

Origami Fallen Leaves

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.

Origami Maple Leaf Wreath

This is a simple decoration made by combining and gluing origami maple leaves into a ring.

The folding method that creates a gap for inserting pieces is a particularly important point.

You’ll need six leaves to complete the ring, and I think it looks more beautiful if you alternate the colors.

Consider color combinations and balance, and try making a ring with maple leaves in a variety of colors.

To make it easier to display, you can reinforce the back by layering paper, and adding maple leaf parts to the front to enhance the three-dimensional effect is also recommended.

Origami Cosmos

It’s a simple craft where the edge of the origami is cut into the shape of cosmos petals.

Because the shape and look are very simple, it’s also great for layering to add volume or using as decoration parts.

First, fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again to make a crease.

Use those creases as a guide to fold it into a triangle.

Draw lines in the shape of cosmos petals there, cut along the lines, and when you open the paper, the cosmos shape is complete.

To achieve a beautiful finished piece with evenly arranged petals, it’s important to fold precisely along the creases.
