Three-dimensional bagworm

[Origami] Bagworm – Easy folding method, how to make a 3D version, autumn origami that kids as young as 3 can make, instructions children can follow, origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s a 3D bagworm origami idea.

You’ll make it in two parts: one head piece and two cloak (mino) pieces.

First, we’ll make the head.

Fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Fold the bottom corner up to the crease, then roll up the bottom edge about 5 mm.

Fold along the crease again to return it to a triangle.

Flip the paper over, fold both corners inward, then fold them back outward.

Fold the outer corners of the small triangles you just made upward, and also fold the bottom corner inward.

Next, for the cloak: Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold both side corners up to meet the top corner.

Slightly fold the raised top corner back down, open that part, and squash it flat.

Flip the squashed section to the back, then fold the lower left and right edges slightly inward.

That’s one cloak piece done.

Make two of these, attach them to the head, draw the face, and you’re finished.

A self-standing pine cone!

[Origami] Pine Cone – Autumn Decoration, Winter Decoration, Easy, Self-Standing

A three-dimensional pine cone that’s perfect for autumn decorations can be made by gluing together several parts.

Prepare four pieces cut from a single sheet of origami paper divided into quarters.

Fold each piece into a triangle, then fold both sides up at positions set slightly away from the center line.

Open it up and fold the triangular tip to create a part.

Make four identical parts, then glue them together to form the shape of a pine cone.

The key is to glue them while checking the balance and width.

Give this three-dimensional, autumn-inspired pine cone a try!

Let’s make a bagworm wreath!

Let’s make a wreath with a swinging bagworm! Cut out the center of a paper plate so only the rim remains, spread glue on it, and stick on crumpled tissue paper from the top.

For the bagworm, cut colored construction paper into parts and assemble them by gluing.

While real cocoons are usually brown, since this is a decoration, it’s fun to finish it colorfully by adding round stickers.

You can draw the face with a pen or use round stickers for it.

Attach twine to the bagworm and hang it in the center of the paper plate, and your cute wreath is complete.

Bagworm made with a coffee filter

After enjoying free drawing with markers on a coffee filter, turning it into a bleeding/absorption painting is a fun craft idea.

Once you’ve made the bleeding effect, let the coffee filter dry and cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.

Attach them with double-sided tape to the base of a mino (a straw raincoat) made from construction paper.

Then stick on the face and hat, also made from construction paper.

Finally, draw the face with a pen or crayon, and it’s complete! The patterns and marker colors create unique variations in each mino, which is really fun.

Two types of Mushichan only for infants and toddlers

Here are two fun bagworm craft ideas using twisted tissue paper and paper tape loops.

First, cut a square piece of tissue paper and round off one side with scissors.

Gently twist the side you didn’t cut, and glue it onto a base for the bagworm made from construction paper.

Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make a colorful “mino” (the bag).

Attach a face made from construction paper to finish.

For the paper tape version, cut the tape to a suitable length, glue one end to the base, then overlap the other end to form a loop and secure it.

Cover the whole body in rows, and finish it the same way by adding the face.
