Grapes made with paper tape
If you’re bored with making grapes out of origami, why not try creating grapes with paper tape for a slightly different look? They really stand out as wall decorations, so they’re perfect for an autumn craft! First, cut the paper tape to a suitable length.
Apply wood glue to the end of the tape and roll it into a loop, as if you’re making a ring.
The loop size can be whatever you like.
Make lots of these parts, then glue them together to complete your bunch of grapes.
Add leaves and tendrils as well to make it look even more grape-like.
And don’t just stick to purple—try making light green grapes too and have fun with it!
Grapes made by linking ring garlands
Let’s make grapes using ring chains, which you might recognize from Tanabata decorations! They’re perfect for autumn wall displays or hanging ornaments.
Ring chains are easy: cut origami into strips, roll them into loops, and glue the ends.
They’re great for crafting with children or for recreational activities in senior facilities—lots of situations can incorporate them.
Adjust the number of rings while shaping the cluster to get a balanced look.
Instead of using a single color, combining shades from the same color family creates a more realistic effect.
Adding green muscat grapes can also give it a stylish finish.
Grapes made with newspaper
Let’s make grapes using a familiar material: newspaper! It’s a perfect idea for parent-child crafts at home or just to pass the time.
The method is simple: tape cut pieces of origami paper onto crumpled balls of newspaper.
Since glue can get your hands sticky, using tape might be easier.
Once the grape “berries” are done, stick them together with double-sided tape and add a pipe cleaner as the stem—that’s it! Arrange them in a basket for display, or turn them into a garland to bring a touch of autumn to your space.

Grapes made using toilet paper rolls
These grapes made from toilet paper rolls are perfect for autumn crafts at nursery schools and kindergartens, as well as fall craft activities at day service centers.
They’re fun because they use familiar materials and have a simple construction! First, cut a toilet paper roll into three equal rings, attach them together with double-sided tape to form a grape cluster shape, and stick the cluster onto a circle of construction paper.
Next, stuff crumpled origami paper into the rings, add a branch cut from construction paper, and you’re done! You can also swap the origami for tissue paper, and try colors like light green in addition to purple for more variety.
Grapes made by drawing circles on origami paper
For those who want an easier way to make grapes with origami, here’s a method that uses circles drawn on the paper! First, use a single sheet of origami paper to create the general shape of the grape bunch, then draw the individual grape berries as circles directly with a pen or other tool.
The appeal is that you can create uniquely original grapes using your favorite art supplies! You can also add leaves and tendrils for a more realistic look.
It’s perfect for origami beginners and for children’s craft time, so why not give it a try?
Three-dimensional grapes
If you want to make three-dimensional grapes, why not try using the traditional origami “balloon”? It’s a fun origami craft for kids, so be sure to include it in your autumn at-home activities! To make it, fold several origami balloons, inflate them, and glue them together.
Next, make the leaves and tendrils out of origami paper and assemble everything—and you’re done! The volume and 3D effect make it look like real grapes when you arrange them in a basket.
Traditional origami can also support reminiscence therapy for seniors, so it’s a great idea to incorporate into day service activities as well.
Grapes made using plastic bags
Why not make easy grapes using plastic bags? Cut a plastic bag into a triangle and tape it to create a shape like a piping bag for whipped cream.
Then simply fill it with grape “berries” made by crumpling origami paper, and tape the opening closed! The great thing about this craft is that you can skip the step of gluing the berries to each other.
You can make the berries solely by crumpling origami paper, or crumple scrap paper like copier paper and wrap it with origami on the outside.
Add a branch and leaves, and it can be used as a wall decoration or a hanging ornament.
