[For Seniors] Recommended September Origami to Feel the Autumn Season

Three-dimensional moon-viewing dumplings

[Origami] 3D Moon Dumpling Folding Method | Easy Origami

Tsukimi is an event where the scenery is important, but the tsukimi dango served at the scene also help elevate the mood.

Let’s make those tsukimi dango with origami, adjusting the folding method to create a three-dimensional finish.

The sanpō stand for placing the dango is made by combining two sheets of origami, and then you stack the white origami dango on top.

Since the entire model is assembled using square forms, proceed with careful creasing and a strong awareness of left-right symmetry.

Using tools like bamboo skewers for delicate work, it’s important to focus your fingertips and aim for a more beautiful, three-dimensional shape.

Prepare four 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm pink origami squares, one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet for the base, and one 3.75 cm × 3.75 cm yellow sheet for the central pistil.

While folding the corners, shape it like a heart to create two petals.

Make this with all four pink sheets.

For the base and the pistil, make cross creases first, then form an octagon.

Finally, glue the petals onto the base first, then attach the pistil in the center to finish! Try making many, varying the petal colors for interest.

Easy! Cosmos Origami

[Origami] Easy way to fold a cosmos flower: autumn origami, a not-difficult method that even kids can make [origami]

Here’s something you can make by folding, cutting, and gluing.

First, make three vertical crease lines, then add seven more vertical creases from the opposite direction.

Open it up, and along the first three creases you made, fold so that both ends are folded inward, leaving the center open.

Following the seven creases you made, cut the sheet into four equal strips.

Fold each strip lengthwise into a narrow piece, then glue them together in a radial pattern to form the petals.

Attach a green strip of origami paper folded lengthwise for the stem, and you’re done! Try making lots, bundling them into a bouquet, or decorating a wall with just the petals.

Cosmos like a medal

[Slow Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Flower / [Origami] How to Make a Cosmos

Origami cosmos that resemble a medal are perfect as a gift for celebrations! First, fold a 3.75 cm × 3.75 cm yellow sheet of origami into a small octagon to make the pistil.

Next, for the petals, prepare a 15 cm × 15 cm sheet and fold with the side you want as the petal color facing inward.

Fold vertically to create a crease, then fold both edges toward that crease and flip it over.

Fold all four corners into triangles, unfold everything, then fold the same shapes in the opposite direction.

Using the creases, form shapes like two boats, then make four squares, and from each square create two diamond-like shapes.

Finally, fold the corners, make a slit in the center of each diamond and open it up, then attach the pistil in the center, and you’re done! Using tweezers to lift the petals will add a three-dimensional look.
