Adorable flowers swaying in the autumn breeze! Here’s a cosmos craft idea.
You’ll need one sheet of warm-toned origami paper, some yellow origami paper, scissors, craft glue, and a toothpick.
First, fold eight petal pieces and glue them together.
For the disc florets, make fine cuts into the yellow origami, roll it up, and glue it in the center of the flower.
Cosmos look great in your favorite colors, such as deep pink or light pink.
You can also add personality by adjusting the cuts on the petals and the disc florets.
Give it a try!
bear
Bears get active in autumn as they prepare for hibernation! Here’s a fun idea featuring a bear.
You’ll need one sheet of brown origami paper, one sheet of light yellow origami paper, glue, and a pen or round stickers.
The key is carefully folding the rounded shapes for the ears and face.
It’s a good idea to try this together with a parent or teacher.
Drawing the bear’s expression with a pen adds personality— a smile, a sleepy look, a surprised face, or a mischievous expression.
It’ll be fun to create while imagining different looks.
Give it a try!
plump grapes
Autumn of plenty! Decorate with cute, three-dimensional grapes and feel the fall atmosphere indoors! Here are some plump grape craft ideas.
You will need purple-toned origami paper, green origami paper, scissors, craft glue, a compass, and a pen.
It’s great to set learning goals in line with the tools you’re using as you create.
Since the piece will be plump and three-dimensional, you can enjoy looking at it even after it’s finished.
If you prepare several colors of origami paper, children can choose their own colors and enjoy the satisfaction of shaping their ideas!
[Autumn] For November! Easy Origami Ideas (11–20)
pear
The gourd-like shape is the key point! Here’s a pear craft idea known for its sweet, pleasant fragrance.
All you need is a single sheet of green origami paper.
You can make the stem and leaf from the same sheet.
Some steps are a bit tricky, so it’s a good idea to start by making it together with a parent or teacher.
You can display the finished pear as is, or make it even nicer by drawing patterns with a pen or coloring the stem.
Enjoy the process and get creative while chatting with the kids!
persimmon
Let’s make sweet, delicious persimmons and enjoy a taste of autumn! Prepare orange origami paper and fold it into a round, slightly oval persimmon shape.
For the calyx (the leafy top), use a separate green origami sheet.
When making the calyx, consider the balance between the fruit and the calyx, and use a smaller sheet than the one you used for the persimmon fruit.
Once both parts are ready, glue them together and you’re done! Even with the same orange origami, you can create a variety of persimmons by using papers with different shades of orange.
Adding cute eyes and a mouth is also recommended.
Japanese pampas grass
The flower meaning is vitality! Here’s an idea for making pampas grass.
You’ll need one sheet of brown-toned origami paper, scissors, and glue or tape.
The steps are simple, but since parts like the stems are thin, it’s important to focus and fold carefully.
Pampas grass is often used as a symbol of autumn in Japan.
It looks great when displayed together with other autumn-themed plants and animals to create a seasonal atmosphere—highly recommended.
Also, if you use a larger sheet of paper, it will have the striking presence of real pampas grass and look wonderful.
Definitely try arranging the size to your liking!
squirrel
We’ll show you how to fold a small, adorable squirrel with a fluffy tail and cute expression.
It’s so charming that it makes a perfect autumn motif kids will love.
The process is very simple: make the head and body separately, then combine them at the end to finish.
Add the squirrel’s facial features as a final touch for extra cuteness! A classic brown gives it a seasonal feel, but you can also use your favorite colors of origami paper to create a unique piece.
Let children’s creativity lead the way and enjoy making it freely.
