Mushroom wreath

When you think of autumn, you think of mushrooms.

Making a mushroom-themed wreath that captures the season is a lovely way to feel fall.

This wreath has a simple folding method, so it’s easy even for children making a wreath for the first time.

The key is to create firm crease lines and fold it into an open triangle.

pine cone

[Autumn Origami] Pine Cone Folding Tutorial with Voice Commentary ☆ How to Make Pine Cones with Paper / Tatsukuri

Pine cones come in all shapes and sizes, from large to small.

This origami pine cone is made by creating three parts and gluing them together to form a single pine cone.

The key point is to pinch the left and right creases and fold them toward the center—this determines the base shape of the pine cone.

For Parts 1, 2, and 3, the steps are the same: fold the three top corners, refine the shape, and be sure to make firm creases so the pine cone looks three-dimensional.

Once it’s finished, try adding eyes, a mouth, or other decorations to customize it.
