Introducing ideas for September wall displays, autumn wall decorations, and room decorations (21–30)
A maple leaf made from a single sheet of origami paper
Papercutting fun! We’re introducing an idea for making a maple leaf out of a single sheet of origami paper.
When you go for autumn walks or outings, you may have chances to see maples turning color.
Let’s make a maple leaf from origami so you can enjoy the arrival of autumn indoors too.
You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, a template, and scissors.
The video shows two patterns, so choose the one that suits your activity.
Also, cutting through layered origami with scissors requires strength, so take it easy and don’t push yourself.
Full moon rabbit made from a single sheet of origami
Perfect for moon-viewing events! Here’s an idea for a full-moon rabbit made from a single sheet of origami paper.
Autumn is the season for tsukimi (moon viewing), right? Some of you might prepare pampas grass and moon-viewing dumplings at school or at home and enjoy the beautiful moon.
This time, let’s make a full-moon rabbit that’s just right for such an event.
What you’ll need: yellow origami paper, scissors, glue, and a pen.
Some steps are a bit tricky, so it’s best to work together with a parent or teacher for safety and ease.
Be sure to give it a try on this occasion!

Maple leaves you can make from age 3
Here’s how to make a bright red maple leaf.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle, then fold both sides toward the center crease.
Fold the bottom corner up, flip it over, open the pocket section, and squash-fold it flat.
To form the maple leaf blades, gently pull out the leaf parts as you shape them.
If the pressure control is tricky, have an adult help.
Fold the stem of the maple leaf and adjust the shape to finish.
It also looks great using yellow or orange origami paper.
Crickets you can make from age 3
Let’s make an origami cricket, a creature kids love to find on walks.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper to get started.
Fold it into a triangle twice, then open up the pocket area as you unfold.
Fold both sides toward the center line, then open up the pocket area again as you unfold.
Shape the cricket’s body and legs by sharpening the tips as you fold.
By making crisp creases, you’ll end up with a cool, three-dimensional cricket that can stand.
Give it a try!
Chestnuts you can try from around age 3
Here’s an origami chestnut that even preschoolers can enjoy.
Fold the paper in half, then open it and fold the bottom edge up toward the center crease.
Flip the paper over and fold the top half along the line to form a triangle.
Fold the lower left and right corners up along the crease, then round the corners to finish.
Draw a face to create your own cute, original chestnut.
Display the finished chestnut indoors for autumn crafts or as wall decor to bring a sense of the season and add a charming touch.
A chestnut that breaks on the eighth fold
When September comes, it’s the season when chestnuts are delicious.
Let’s fold autumn’s seasonal chestnuts with origami.
After folding the paper in half, fold the left and right corners toward the center line.
Flip the paper over and fold the bottom part of the chestnut toward the center line.
Finally, adjust the shape into a chestnut and you’re done.
You can enjoy different sizes of chestnuts by changing the size of the origami paper.
Also, by folding the corners to create roundness, the chestnut gains a three-dimensional look, resulting in a tasty-looking chestnut perfect for autumn.
Give it a try!
Easy and cute pampas grass origami method
The Japanese pampas grass that signals the arrival of autumn in Japan has a deep charm, doesn’t it? Let’s try making pampas grass with origami.
First, cut your origami paper into a quarter-sized rectangle, fold it in half twice to make a long, narrow shape, then fold it in half once more.
Open it back up to the state where it has been folded in half once from the original.
Along that center crease you just made, use scissors to cut a slit up to the middle.
Fold it in half again, and then, starting from the slitted section, offset each layer sideways as you fold them one by one.
Finally, adjust the shape so the white and colored sections alternate when viewed, and you’re done.
Please use this as a guide and display it next to your moon-viewing dumplings!
