Fold the first piece of origami into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.
Fold the same parts back to create the fox’s ears, then flip the origami so top and bottom are reversed.
Fold the remaining top corner downward, turn the paper over, and make a step fold with the top layer of the bottom corner.
Tuck the remaining bottom layer to the back.
Fold in the left and right corners by about 5 mm to round them, and the face is complete.
For the body, use the second sheet and follow the same steps as the head up to folding the left and right corners to the top corner.
From there, fold back only the upper left corner to make the tail, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the body.
Attach the head, draw the face, and you’re done.
One-sheet fold! Autumn tree
Let’s try making a freestanding autumn tree.
We’ll begin with a series of crease-making steps.
Since you’ll be folding along these creases later, please proceed carefully.
Note that there are steps where you only make creases on certain sections without folding everything.
Once the creases are in place, the trunk and the base of the leaves come together in an instant.
The part where you create the branches is a bit tricky, but adding them makes a noticeable difference in the final result, so give it your best.
For the trunk, flatten the pocketed section, and finish by forming a small triangle at the end.
Chestnuts you can try from age 3
After folding the origami squarely in half, open it up.
With the colored side facing up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.
Turn the paper over and fold the top two corners in toward the center.
Fold the bottom two corners inward to make triangles, then fold the new left and right corners even farther inward.
Turn the origami back to the front—and your chestnut is complete! Finish it by coloring the white part with crayons or drawing a face on the colored part.
If you make a second one with smaller origami paper, you might end up with a parent-and-child pair of chestnuts!
Easy way to make mushrooms
Open the paper after folding it twice to make a square.
Fold the top two corners in so they meet at the center of the paper.
Turn the paper over, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the horizontal crease.
Turn the paper over again, and fold the left and right sides in to meet the vertical crease in the center.
Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top corner, then fold it back down at the point where the color changes, making a valley fold.
On the rectangular section, tuck the top left and right corners inward to make creases, open them, then squash-fold those sections into triangles while aligning both side edges with the center.
Finally, tuck the remaining corner inward and round the overall shape slightly—your mushroom is complete.

An easy way to fold fallen leaves (origami)
Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.
Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.
Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.
From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.
When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.
Cute and easy squirrel origami method
Make the head and the body using separate sheets of origami paper, one for each.
First, crease along the diagonal, then open it and fold the top corners in along the crease.
Next, fold the left and right edges up so the bottom edge aligns with the crease; this forms the base outline of the face.
After that, make the ears and fold the corners to refine the outline to complete the face.
For the body, start the same way as the face by making a diagonal crease.
Then fold the corners to the crease to create a diamond shape, and finally fold it diagonally around the middle of the diamond to finish.
Attach the head and body with tape or similar, draw the face, and you’re done.
The folding steps aren’t intricate, and using two sheets of origami gives it a nicely finished look—highly recommended.
How to fold a cute fox
After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.
Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.
Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.
Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.
Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.
The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.
Draw the face to finish it cutely.
