During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

October is a month full of events like sports days and Halloween.

It’s also a great time to play outside and pick up acorns and fallen leaves while out on a walk.

In this article, we introduce origami ideas recommended for October.

We’ve gathered ideas you can use for Halloween decorations and autumn wall displays, such as ghosts, pumpkins, acorns, and ginkgo leaves.

Each idea features simple folds that kids can try, so give them a go if you like.

We also recommend stringing your creations together to make an autumn garland or hanging decoration.

Speaking of autumn, it’s also the season for adorable bagworms wearing cocoons made from withered twigs.

Let’s try making a bagworm out of origami.

First, cut a sheet of origami paper in half, then attach the halves side by side to make one long, narrow sheet.

Next, apply glue along the edges and stick them together, being careful not to flatten the puffiness.

You can also use different colors for each half.

Starting from the looped end, make fine slits with scissors.

Apply glue and roll it up tightly from the edge at a slight angle.

Prepare a small white round piece of paper, draw eyes on it with a felt-tip pen, stick it on as the face, attach a hanging string, and you’re done.

In conclusion

I introduced some origami ideas for October. Did you find any you’d like to try making? They’re all really easy to fold, so if you like, make them with your kids and enjoy the feeling of autumn. After you fold them, if it’s an animal, draw the face; if it’s a vegetable or fruit, add patterns or seeds with drawings or stickers. It’ll look more realistic, so I recommend it!
