chestnut

Why not try making chestnut origami, a classic taste of autumn? Roll brown or yellow origami paper to form the shape of a chestnut.
Use your fingertips to refine the shape, taking your time to finish it carefully.
The completed chestnuts are perfect for wall or ceiling decorations.
Combine them with fallen leaves and pinecones to create a space full of autumn atmosphere.
If you make them with children, you can enjoy the activity while feeling the change of seasons.
How about bringing autumn warmth into your classroom or room with chestnut origami?
pear

Here’s an origami idea for an autumn fruit: a pear.
First, fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again.
Open the top layer to the right as if unfolding it back, and fold so that a slightly diagonal crease forms in the center.
Once done, turn it over and fold all four corners inward.
Turn it over again, and tuck the bottom protruding part inside to complete the fruit portion.
For the stem, use a piece that’s one-quarter the size of the paper used for the fruit.
Fold it several times into a stick shape, then attach it to the fruit.

eggplant

When it comes to autumn vegetables, eggplant is delicious, isn’t it? Here’s how to fold an origami eggplant.
Materials: one sheet of origami paper, one quarter-size sheet of origami paper, and glue.

Fold the left and right sides in to the center line.
Lightly fold down the three top corners.
Next, make the calyx (stem).
First, fold a triangle twice to make crease lines.
Open it once, then fold the edges diagonally toward the center.

Glue the fruit and the calyx together, and you’re done!
pumpkin

When it comes to autumn vegetables, many people probably think of pumpkin first.
Here, we’ll show you how to fold an origami pumpkin.
You’ll need one sheet of green origami paper.
First, fold the paper into a square base.
Fold one open edge along the center line.
Fold the top edge down to the center as well.
Fold the folded section over to the opposite side along the center, and fold the other layer that appears in the same way.
Next, turn it over and fold the bottom open corner up to just before the center.
Fold the top corner down by about the same amount, then fold the tip back.
Finally, make small folds on the two side corners, and you’re done! For Halloween, it’s also cute to make it with orange origami paper for decoration, so give it a try.
Pacific saury

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when Pacific saury is delicious! How about making a saury with origami? Prepare one sheet of origami paper and a pen.
First, fold the paper into a triangle twice and open it.
Next, fold the top and bottom toward the center twice to make creases.
Fold the top down along the third crease from the top, then fold it back up along the topmost crease.
Do the same for the bottom.
Fold the left and right sides using the boat fold.
Fold one corner using a step fold, and fold the bottom part diagonally.
Now, fold the middle section using the squid (kite) fold.
Fold the corners around the center so they line up with the left and right edges, then fold the tips back so they stick out slightly.
Fold the lower-right corner along the center line, and tuck the top corner inside.
Finally, fold the upper-right corner along the center line, flip it over, and you’re done! Use a pen to draw any face or patterns you like.
