Realistic fallen leaves you can make with origami!

[Autumn Origami] Easy, realistic fallen leaves you can make in 2 minutes / Origami Fallen Leaves

Red, yellow, green, brown… Autumn begins with colorful foliage and is a season to enjoy leaves in many shades.

So why not make fallen leaves with origami, too? They’re great for wall decorations and a handy idea to remember.

To prepare, fold the origami paper in half top to bottom to make a rectangle, place it with the fold at the bottom, then crease diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner and cut along the crease with scissors.

You’ll use the remaining triangular piece of origami paper.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the base to halve it, then repeat this same fold three more times.

Next, unfold the paper and refold it in an accordion (zigzag) pattern.

Fold the origami in half, bringing the left and right sides together, glue the inner layers, adjust the shape, and you’re done.

Make with Origami! Autumn Insect: Cricket

Autumn insects made with origami! How to fold a ‘cricket’ [Yoshimoto comedian span! Makoto]

When it comes to autumn insects popular with children, crickets come to mind.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper.

Fold it in half into a triangle twice, then stand the triangular section up and gently squash it into a square.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center line, then fold the entire top triangular section forward.

Open up the folded part and spread it so it becomes a diamond shape.

Once you’ve made the cricket’s head and legs, it’s done.

Some children may find the squashing-into-a-square step difficult, so please have an adult help them in that case.

Finish by drawing the eyes.

Make crickets with different expressions, line them up, and enjoy!

A cricket you can fold with origami

[Origami] How to Make a Cricket – Easy Folding Method – Autumn Origami You Can Make from Age 3 – Kid-Friendly Instructions – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s how to make a cricket that signals the arrival of autumn.

The steps are simple, perfect for young children.

First, fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then squash the pocketed part to form two squares.

Open one of them and squash-fold it into a diamond shape.

Open the lower corner of the diamond to the left and right, then fold both sides of the bottom corner inward along the center line.

The thin sections on both sides will be the cricket’s legs.

Slightly fold down the top corner, then fold both corners of that crease into small triangles to make the tail end.

Flip the paper over, make a curled fold at the bottom corner to form the head, then fold the paper in half along the vertical center line.

Finish with a pleat (step) fold to add movement to the legs, and you’re done.

Cute in autumn! Foxes and raccoon dogs

[Craft Play] Easy Origami! Autumn Animals Edition: Fox and Raccoon Dog #shorts

Let’s make a fox and a tanuki using origami.

You can make the fox with just three folds and the tanuki with five folds.

First, for the fox, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

Place the paper so that the triangle’s point faces down, then fold both sides of the bottom point diagonally inward, aligning them just slightly outside the center line.

This way, you can form the fox’s triangular face and ears at the same time.

For the tanuki, after folding the paper into a triangle, place it with the point facing up, then fold both corners diagonally upward toward the center.

Fold the top and bottom points inward to round out the face, and you’re done.

Finish by drawing the eyes and nose with a pen.

Cute persimmons perfect for autumn

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Persimmon Folding Method / Decoration, Food, Fruit — Origami Persimmon

A quintessential autumn fruit! Let me show you how to make a persimmon.

Prepare one 15 cm square of orange origami paper and one 7.5 cm square of green origami paper.

First, fold the top and bottom edges of the 15 cm paper to meet at the center to make a rectangle.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to a vertical orientation, then fold it in half top to bottom to make a crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom toward that center crease again, but fold slightly short of the crease rather than exactly on it.

Make the folds so that the folded sections and the remaining central section are the same width.

Finally, fold all four corners inward to complete the fruit.

For the leaf, do a “zabuton” fold three times with the green paper.

On the third time, slightly fold the corners first, then fold toward the center.

Flip the paper over, open and flatten the four pouch-like sections, then fold the corners to finish.

Attach it to the fruit to complete your persimmon.

Let’s fold autumn fruits with origami!

[Easy Seasonal Origami] Let’s fold autumn fruits with origami! Persimmons and grapes ♪ [origami Persimmon and Grape]

Here are origami ideas for persimmons and grapes that you’ll crave making in autumn.

First, the persimmon: place an orange sheet of origami paper color side up, fold it in half top to bottom, and crease.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease; the white back side will show in that area, so paste a green sheet of the same size over that white section.

From here, you’ll fold both the leaf and fruit from a single sheet.

For the grapes, use half-size origami paper to make four identical units and combine them.

Both projects include a step where you open a pocket and squash it flat, so press your creases firmly with your fingers and fold each step carefully.
