Realistic fallen leaves you can make with origami!

[Autumn Origami] Easy, realistic fallen leaves you can make in 2 minutes / Origami Fallen Leaves

Red, yellow, green, brown… Autumn begins with colorful foliage and is a season to enjoy leaves in many shades.

So why not make fallen leaves with origami, too? They’re great for wall decorations and a handy idea to remember.

To prepare, fold the origami paper in half top to bottom to make a rectangle, place it with the fold at the bottom, then crease diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner and cut along the crease with scissors.

You’ll use the remaining triangular piece of origami paper.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the base to halve it, then repeat this same fold three more times.

Next, unfold the paper and refold it in an accordion (zigzag) pattern.

Fold the origami in half, bringing the left and right sides together, glue the inner layers, adjust the shape, and you’re done.

Make with Origami! Autumn Insect: Cricket

Autumn insects made with origami! How to fold a ‘cricket’ [Yoshimoto comedian span! Makoto]

When it comes to autumn insects popular with children, crickets come to mind.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper.

Fold it in half into a triangle twice, then stand the triangular section up and gently squash it into a square.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center line, then fold the entire top triangular section forward.

Open up the folded part and spread it so it becomes a diamond shape.

Once you’ve made the cricket’s head and legs, it’s done.

Some children may find the squashing-into-a-square step difficult, so please have an adult help them in that case.

Finish by drawing the eyes.

Make crickets with different expressions, line them up, and enjoy!

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.

Cute in autumn! Foxes and raccoon dogs

[Craft Play] Easy Origami! Autumn Animals Edition: Fox and Raccoon Dog #shorts

Let’s make a fox and a tanuki using origami.

You can make the fox with just three folds and the tanuki with five folds.

First, for the fox, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

Place the paper so that the triangle’s point faces down, then fold both sides of the bottom point diagonally inward, aligning them just slightly outside the center line.

This way, you can form the fox’s triangular face and ears at the same time.

For the tanuki, after folding the paper into a triangle, place it with the point facing up, then fold both corners diagonally upward toward the center.

Fold the top and bottom points inward to round out the face, and you’re done.

Finish by drawing the eyes and nose with a pen.

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.

Autumn origami acorn

[Origami] Easy Acorn Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do – Autumn Origami – How Kids Can Make It – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

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.

Autumn Origami Dragonfly

[Autumn Origami] Easy☆How to Fold a Dragonfly [Origami] Simple Insect Origami

Seeing dragonflies flying makes you feel autumn, doesn’t it? Here’s an idea for making a dragonfly using two sheets of origami paper.

For both sheets, first do a cushion fold once, then flip the paper over and fold the top and bottom corners to the center.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees, flip it over, and squash the top and bottom pocket-like sections into a boat shape.

From here the steps differ, since this idea makes the wings and body separately.

For the wings, once you have the boat, fold the top and bottom to meet the center line, then fold the four left and right corners outward from the slit to create triangular creases.

Use those creases to make inside reverse folds, and the wings are done.

For the body, while pulling the right corner of the boat inward, pull the corner on the back straight out to the side.

Fold the opposite corner inward, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.

The right corner becomes the dragonfly’s tail, so align the orientation and insert it into the wings.

After inserting, slim the tail a bit more, add eyes, and you’re finished.
