[Autumn Origami] Easy! Cute Squirrel Folding Method / Animal Squirrel Decoration Origami Squirrel

We often picture squirrels holding acorns and other nuts, don’t we? They’re a perfect motif for November origami, too.

Apple

[Origami] Easy Apple 🍎 How to Make an Apple #apple #ringo #ringoKanji #apple (English) #सेब #manzana #蘋果 #사과 #Apple #HowToFold #origami #paperfolding #tsuribami #jongijeopgi #craft

There are many fruits that are in season in autumn.

Among them, if we’re talking about a fruit popular with all age groups, wouldn’t it be apples? When you cut the peel into a bunny shape, it looks really cute.

Apples are also easy to make with origami, so give it a try.

Fold it into a large triangle, then just keep folding the corners inward to make it round—that’s all there is to it, so even kids can do it easily.

The key to making it cute is to make a small cut with scissors after folding to create the apple’s indentation.

Make a leaf and a stem with another sheet of origami and stick them on!

mandarin orange

How to fold and make a winter fruit mandarin with origami 🍊 Origami Orange [Easy, 1 Minute]

When we think of mikan (Japanese mandarins), we often picture winter, but there are also “extremely early mikan” that appear in November.

They’re a bit sour, but some people like that classic mikan flavor! Here’s an idea for making a mikan with a leaf from a single sheet of origami paper.

If you use origami with a white back, you’ll need to color the leaf part green with a pen, but if you use origami with a green back, you can just fold and you’re done! If you draw the mikan’s speckled pattern, it will look even more delicious.

grasshopper

[Origami] How to Make a Grasshopper | Easy to fold so it's kid-friendly! A slightly realistic 3D grasshopper

Grasshoppers are insects you start seeing more often in the fall—and they’re one of kids’ favorites.

So if you’re enjoying origami in November, why not try making a grasshopper? The folding isn’t very difficult.

The steps are the same as making a crane up to a certain point, so if a child can make a crane, they can probably fold this on their own.

There’s no need to crease heavily or flip it over, so it’s simple—give it a try! Once you’ve folded it, you can draw a face, or make another one with slightly smaller paper to create a piggybacking grasshopper—also recommended!
