Easy to make! A roundup of origami grape craft ideas (1–10)
Grapes made from a single sheet of origami paper
Believe it or not, you can make a bunch of grapes with just a single sheet of origami paper! It’s perfect not only for origami enthusiasts, but also as a fun project to do with kids.
The key is to first make lots of precise creases.
If you end up with so many folds that it gets confusing, you might find it helpful to draw guide lines.
As you proceed, the steps become more complex, so the difficulty is a bit on the higher side.
The finished piece turns into a cute, plump-looking bunch of grapes, so definitely give it a try!
Grapes made from cut origami
Introducing an easy way to make grapes using origami cut in half! With half a sheet, imagine creating two connected grape berries.
Make several of these parts and combine them at the end to form a bunch of grapes.
By adjusting how the pieces overlap, you can achieve a three-dimensional look.
If you use light green origami instead of purple, you’ll get muscat grapes—give it a try! It’s perfect for making together with kids or incorporating into a craft activity at a day service to enjoy the feeling of autumn.
Grapes made from crumpled paper
These grapes are perfect for sensory play with little kids and are made from crumpled paper.
First, crumple up tissue paper or origami paper to make the grape berries.
Next, apply glue to a piece of construction paper you’ve pre-cut into a teardrop shape, and attach the grape berries you made.
Once you’ve filled in all the gaps, the grape cluster is complete! You can then use your child’s handprint as a leaf, or cut construction paper into leaf shapes to decorate.
Display it in your room to easily bring in an autumn vibe—give it a try!
Grapey
Let’s make an adorable little grape girl with grapes on her head! First, make the basic doll, then create the grape part.
Make the doll with one sheet of origami, and prepare a dress using another sheet.
Next, make the base for the grapes and place it on the doll’s head.
Fold another sheet of origami into 16 equal sections, cut them apart with scissors, and combine two of the pieces to form a grape.
Finally, arrange the grape berries and a branch on the base, draw the face, and you’re done! It takes a bit of work because there are many berries, but if you want to create a unique grape design, why not give it a try?
Grape hanging ornament
How about making a seasonal hanging grape decoration? It’s a fun activity to do with children and also a great idea for an autumn craft session at a day service.
For the grape berries, place origami paper over crumpled tissue and wrap it to form a ball.
Then attach the grape berries onto a base made from a strip of origami paper rolled into a stick shape.
That completes one grape cluster! Make several clusters and thread them all onto a string to finish a beautiful hanging grape decoration.
Adding leaves and vines will make it look even more grape-like.
It’s perfect for seasonal events and recreation, so give it a try!
Grapes made by combining parts
These grapes are made by combining parts.
You make three pieces, each with a row of four grapes, and assemble them together.
The advantage is that it’s less work than making each grape individually! By adding slits while making the parts, you can securely lock them together when assembling.
You can also create the stem and leaves with origami to give the grapes a more realistic look.
It’s perfect for children’s origami play or autumn wall decorations, so give it a try!
wall-mounted grapes
These wall-mounted grapes let you enjoy a grape-picking experience, too.
The method is very simple! Cut origami paper into strips, roll them into circles, and glue them to make grape berries.
Make lots of these and simply stick them onto construction paper where you’ve drawn branches and leaves.
You can even use a large sheet of poster paper to create a big piece.
Children in daycare or kindergarten can enjoy grape picking indoors! And if you want a fun autumn craft to do at home with your kids, try making wall grapes and have a great time together.
