A cricket you can fold with origami

[Origami] How to Make a Cricket – Easy Folding Method – Autumn Origami You Can Make from Age 3 – Kid-Friendly Instructions – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s how to make a cricket that signals the arrival of autumn.

The steps are simple, perfect for young children.

First, fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then squash the pocketed part to form two squares.

Open one of them and squash-fold it into a diamond shape.

Open the lower corner of the diamond to the left and right, then fold both sides of the bottom corner inward along the center line.

The thin sections on both sides will be the cricket’s legs.

Slightly fold down the top corner, then fold both corners of that crease into small triangles to make the tail end.

Flip the paper over, make a curled fold at the bottom corner to form the head, then fold the paper in half along the vertical center line.

Finish with a pleat (step) fold to add movement to the legs, and you’re done.

An easy way to fold a maple leaf (origami)

[Origami] Maple Leaf (Momiji) - Easy Tutorial - Autumn Origami You Can Make from Age 3 - Kid-Friendly Folding Method - September, October, and November Origami [Origami]

In November, when the autumn colors are at their most beautiful, let’s try folding a maple leaf.

First, fold it into a triangle and unfold it.

Fold both sides toward the crease to form a sharp triangular shape.

Turn it over, then fold from the long, pointed corner toward the corner on the diagonal.

Turn it over again, open the two pocket-like sections, and shape it into a diamond.

Fold up both of the long, thin triangles, spread the small triangles that formed inside to both sides, then fold one of the long triangles downward and trim the corners as needed to neaten the shape—and you’re done.

Make lots of them and create a maple-leaf scenery inside your room!

How to fold a cute rabbit

Easy! How to fold an origami bunny | Moon-viewing craft for ages 2 and up — Origami Bunny

Here’s an idea for making a rabbit with origami.

Since the head and body are made separately, please prepare two sheets of origami paper.

We’ll start with the head: first, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Next, squash the pocket to form a square, then fold the top corners on both the front and back down to meet the bottom corner.

Fold both sides of the top point in toward the center line to make the rabbit’s ears.

Fold one ear diagonally, then fold the bottom corner inward to finish the head.

For the body, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then fold all four edges to meet that crease.

Fold both side corners inward, and on one side, make a single step fold over that.

Fold the whole piece in half along the crease to finish.

Attach the head to the body to complete your rabbit.

Cute persimmons perfect for autumn

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Persimmon Folding Method / Decoration, Food, Fruit — Origami Persimmon

A quintessential autumn fruit! Let me show you how to make a persimmon.

Prepare one 15 cm square of orange origami paper and one 7.5 cm square of green origami paper.

First, fold the top and bottom edges of the 15 cm paper to meet at the center to make a rectangle.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to a vertical orientation, then fold it in half top to bottom to make a crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom toward that center crease again, but fold slightly short of the crease rather than exactly on it.

Make the folds so that the folded sections and the remaining central section are the same width.

Finally, fold all four corners inward to complete the fruit.

For the leaf, do a “zabuton” fold three times with the green paper.

On the third time, slightly fold the corners first, then fold toward the center.

Flip the paper over, open and flatten the four pouch-like sections, then fold the corners to finish.

Attach it to the fruit to complete your persimmon.
