I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Halloween is a big hit in Japan too!

Many children probably have Halloween parties at home, daycare, or kindergarten.

In this article, we’ll introduce Halloween origami that’s perfect for party decorations!

We’ve gathered all kinds of designs like jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, and witches—must-haves for Halloween.

It’s also a great activity to enjoy during the Halloween season!

Be sure to make them together with friends and family, and have a wonderful Halloween.

As an ambitious origami project, let’s make a 3D pumpkin using six sheets of origami paper! Using the paper balloon folding method, create six identical pieces.

There are a few somewhat intricate steps, but as you repeat the same folds, you’ll get the hang of it.

Once you’ve made six paper balloons, use double-sided tape to attach them together, pressing the insides to shape them into a pumpkin.

Finish by making the pumpkin’s vine from a small piece of green origami paper and attaching it.

By its nature, origami models tend to look angular when finished.

That has its own charm, but it lacks the cuteness of rounded objects.

That’s why I recommend this “balloon-like 3D pumpkin.” While it does have some angular parts, it features many curved surfaces overall, giving it a form you won’t find in typical origami.

It does require somewhat delicate technique, but with proper support from a parent or guardian, children can make it too—so please give it a try.
