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.
First, make the fruit (body).
Start by folding the paper using the “octopus” fold, then fold the folded corner up to align with the edge.
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.
Fold the tip upward, then fold it back down.
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.
fallen leaves
Perfect for autumn foliage season! Here’s how to make a fallen leaf with origami.
You’ll use one 7.5 × 7.5 cm sheet of origami paper.
First, turn the paper over and fold it into a triangle.
Fold one edge up diagonally, then fold the narrower corner up to align with the top corner.
Unfold, and fold up to the center crease.
Fold the top section down to the center as well.
Fold the lower part in half downward, and fold the upper part in half upward, tucking it to the back.
Fold the whole piece in half, then fold the bottom section up to align with the top.
Next, open out the folded top and bottom sections.
Take one layer of the triangular tip and fold it down to the edge.
To remove the sharp corner along the folded triangle’s edge, make a diagonal fold.
Flip it over and repeat the same folds on the other side.
Trim off any overhanging sections, open it out, and you’re done!
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.
This part becomes the pocket area when the wreath pieces are combined and glued together, so it’s important.
Once you’ve made eight mushroom-shaped pieces, glue them together.
As you attach them, try to imagine how the patterns and colors will appear!
