In November, as the cold gradually sets in, we get to enjoy beautiful autumn foliage and delicious seasonal flavors.

Why not try some fun crafts that capture those delightful autumn moments?

In this article, we’ll share craft ideas for November that let you feel the season.

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas, including autumn foods made with different materials and projects using natural items like acorns.

They’re all activities children can enjoy!

As November gets colder, let’s make the most of autumn indoors!

Because the items children make are treated as works, we refer to them as “seisaku” (productions) in the text.

Cute persimmons perfect for autumn

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

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!

Let's fold autumn fruits with origami!

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.

Let’s make an acorn with a hat using two sheets of origami paper.

Use a 15 × 7.5 cm sheet for the acorn and a 7.5 cm square for the hat.

First, we’ll make the acorn.

Fold the paper in half to make a square, then fold the top, bottom, and left corners toward the center—done.

Next, we’ll make the hat.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to create creases.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold up along the crease to form a triangle.

Turn the paper over and fold the top corner down so it sticks out slightly below the base of the triangle.

Tuck both corners inward, then place it over the acorn you just made.

Autumn Origami Dragonfly

Seeing dragonflies flying makes you feel autumn, doesn’t it? Here’s an idea for making a dragonfly using two sheets of origami paper.

For both sheets, first do a cushion fold once, then flip the paper over and fold the top and bottom corners to the center.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees, flip it over, and squash the top and bottom pocket-like sections into a boat shape.

From here the steps differ, since this idea makes the wings and body separately.

For the wings, once you have the boat, fold the top and bottom to meet the center line, then fold the four left and right corners outward from the slit to create triangular creases.

Use those creases to make inside reverse folds, and the wings are done.

For the body, while pulling the right corner of the boat inward, pull the corner on the back straight out to the side.

Fold the opposite corner inward, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.

The right corner becomes the dragonfly’s tail, so align the orientation and insert it into the wings.

After inserting, slim the tail a bit more, add eyes, and you’re finished.

Autumn Origami! How to Fold a Mushroom

Autumn Origami! How to Fold a Mushroom

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue to make a cute, original mushroom.

We’ll create it in two parts: the cap and the stem.

For the cap, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to shape it like a mushroom cap.

For the stem, make a triangular crease, then fold the left and right corners toward the center twice.

Tuck the tip into the crease, adjust the shape, and round it out to complete the stem.

Glue the cap and stem together, add the round stickers, and enjoy making your own original mushroom!
