Let's Make and Display! Origami Perfect for Halloween

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.

Perfect for Halloween! Black Cat Origami

After folding the paper into a square using the zabuton fold, lift two of the corners gathered at the center to make the cat’s ears.

Fold the corners sticking out from the base of the ears inward, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the face.

Flip the paper over, and your cute cat is complete! Draw the face and whiskers to finish it off.

The vibe changes depending on the color of the paper, so try making it in your favorite color.

If you pop a witch’s hat on it, it might feel even more Halloween-y!

Let’s make a ghost!

[Nursery Teacher / Origami] Let's Make Ghosts! [With 4- and 5-Year-Olds]

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.

Easy and cute Halloween ghost

[Origami] Halloween Ghost – Easy and Cute Folding Method | Autumn Origami for Ages 3+ | Kid-Friendly Instructions | October Origami [Origami]

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.

Easy! Halloween Pumpkin

[Origami] Halloween Pumpkin [Easy, for ages 3 and up] (Halloween origami)

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.

Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.

Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.

Cute Halloween candy

[Origami] Halloween Candy – Easy folding method; autumn origami that kids can make from age 3; child-friendly instructions; October origami [Origami]

After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.

Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.

Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.

Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.

If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.

Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.
