[Origami] 3D Halloween Wreath

[Easy] Halloween Wreath Made with Origami ✨ [Halloween Decorations] Pumpkin 🎃 DIY: How to Make a Paper Halloween Wreath — Jack-o’-Lantern
[Origami] 3D Halloween Wreath

This wreath is made by gluing circular pieces onto a 12 cm diameter base.

Use origami paper for the pieces.

The first piece is a circular part cut to a 3 cm diameter.

The second is made by folding a circular piece in half and gluing three of them together to create a three-dimensional element.

The third is a slightly larger pumpkin piece made the same way as the second.

After alternately attaching pieces 1 and 2 to the base, glue Halloween-themed craft decorations onto piece 1.

Then attach the pumpkin piece to the end of a strip of origami paper cut lengthwise, and stick it onto the base so it looks like it’s hanging from above.

That’s it!

Witch hat for Halloween

[Origami] Chestnut – Easy Tutorial, Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3; Child-Friendly Folding Method; Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.

First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.

Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.

Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.

If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.

November Origami — Fallen Leaves

Here’s an origami idea for fallen leaves that also helps kids practice using scissors.

Place the colored side up and fold the paper into a triangle.

Next, make accordion folds from the left edge in 1 cm widths.

Once the accordion folds are done, unfold back to the triangle and fold up the base diagonally so that the left side becomes thicker.

Fold the top corners outward into small triangles, then slowly open the paper.

Tuck the triangular corner tips to the back to shape it like a leaf.

Open the white section on the left edge, make a slit on the opposite side, and form the leaf stem.

After that, add small cuts or folds as you like to give it the look of a fallen leaf.

Let’s make a ghost!

Let's make a ghost!

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal crease.

From there, make additional creases and squash-fold the left and right sides into boat shapes.

On one of the boats, squash only one corner into a square to create the ghost’s face.

The sides of the face will be the hands, and the remaining part becomes the bottom.

Use the creases on the hands to create indentations so they look three-dimensional—that’s the key.

Soften the head by folding the corners to make it round, and finish by folding the bottom part up at a diagonal.

Draw the face with stickers or a pen to complete it.

After folding the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it and place the origami so the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the top corner down to align with that crease.

Fold the left and right corners to the center line to crease them, then unfold.

Make step folds so the creases you just made overlap with the center line, open the pocketed parts, and squash-fold them into triangles.

These will be the ghost’s hands.

Fold both top corners into small triangles to round the ghost’s head, then fold the left and right edges of the bottom corner to the center line to form the tail.

Turn the paper over, fold both hands inward, and fold the tail up at an angle.

It’s complete.
