Swirly Grapes

[Craft] Twirling Grapes
Swirly Grapes

When it comes to the king of autumn flavors, grapes surely take the crown.

Let’s make a seasonal craft by rolling construction paper.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, and glue.

Cut the construction paper into a teardrop shape to create the base for the grapes.

Cut long, thin strips of construction paper and roll them tightly with your fingertips to form grape shapes.

Glue the rolled “grapes” onto the base in a three-dimensional way, making sure there are no gaps.

Finally, cut and roll green construction paper to make the stem and cluster top, then glue it on to finish.

Try making it while paying attention to finger dexterity, size, and overall balance.

Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Origami “Squirrel” Easy How-To [Autumn Craft Activity]
Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel out of origami, perfect for autumn crafts.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Then, as if making a paper cup, fold both corners inward so they cross over and overlap.

Turn the paper upside down, and fold the corners you just made upward to create the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over, and fold up one layer of the bottom corner into a triangle.

Fold a small part of that corner to the back to represent the squirrel’s white belly.

Flip the paper over again, fold up the remaining bottom corner, then make a small cut near the left edge and shape it into the tail.

Draw the body pattern and face with a pen to finish.

Easy! How to fold an apple

[Preschool Craft] Easy Origami Apple: How to Make It♪
Easy! How to fold an apple

Let’s make a winter treat—an apple—using two sheets of origami paper.

You’ll need a standard 15 cm red sheet for the fruit and a small orange sheet for the stem.

First, we’ll make the fruit.

Place the red paper with the white side facing up, fold it in half top to bottom, and crease well.

Fold the bottom edge up to the crease.

Fold the top left and right corners in toward the center.

Rotate the paper 180 degrees, then fold three corners inward into triangles.

Next, fold the two new side corners inward the same way.

Cut a small slit at the center of the top edge, open the cut outward and crease—this completes the fruit.

For the stem, fold the orange paper into a rectangle, then roll it tightly from a corner to make a thin strip.

Attach it into the slit you made, and your origami apple is finished.

Autumn origami acorn

Autumn origami acorn

Let’s make an acorn with a hat using two sheets of origami paper.

Use a 15 × 7.5 cm sheet for the acorn and a 7.5 cm square for the hat.

First, we’ll make the acorn.

Fold the paper in half to make a square, then fold the top, bottom, and left corners toward the center—done.

Next, we’ll make the hat.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to create creases.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold up along the crease to form a triangle.

Turn the paper over and fold the top corner down so it sticks out slightly below the base of the triangle.

Tuck both corners inward, then place it over the acorn you just made.

Cute mushrooms on the wall, too.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, then open it.

Fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center.

Turn the paper over, fold the bottom edge up to match the horizontal crease, then turn it over again and fold the left and right sides in along the vertical creases.

Fold the top triangular part downward, then use that crease to make a pleat fold.

Squash the pleated sections from both sides into triangles to form the mushroom’s cap and stem.

Finally, tuck the remaining corners inward to round out the shape, and you’re done.

Drawing a face on it makes it even cuter.
