Before children's matinees, parents often have to be creative. Especially those related to the autumn holidays. Moms make wreaths and costumes. Maple leaves will help to decorate them. Origami is that way of making decor that does not require time and effort. How to make such a decor? Look for tips and schemes below.
Simple maple leaf
Such a craft will definitely not take much time. Even a child can fold a maple leaf-origami. How to do it? You need to print the diagram attached above. After the pattern is ready, 3 sheets of different colors should be cut out on it. It is advisable to make blanks of double-sided colored paper. For example, yellow, green and orange. You can use red, pink and other characteristic autumn colors. The blanks must be folded with an accordion. That is, we bend the edge of the pattern by 1 cm to ourselves, then turn the workpiece over and bend 1 cm again. Thus, we fold the leaves of all colors. And now they need to be glued together. We attach the blanks with ribs.
As a stick, you can use a dry branch from a tree or stick a thick thread.
Simple origami
This craft can be used as a costume decor or to decorate a postcard. How to make origami maple leaf? To do this, you need to create blanks. These should be squares cut from double-sided colored paper. If you do not want to work on cutting even geometric shapes, you can buy ready-made stickers in the stationery store. Origami maple leaf is folded as follows. We take a square and put it in an angle to ourselves. Now we bend the side parts onto ourselves. The same should be done with the lower corners. We bend them to the center. Now turn the workpiece so that all the bends remain behind. A diagram of this process is given above. You should do 9 blanks. They can be made in the same color, and can be made in one color scheme. Now you should glue the blanks with a fan, so that they form a sheet. The wand must also be made of paper. It can be a rectangle folded in half.
Modular maple leaf
This craft, like the previous one, will be made from individual segments. The modular origami maple leaf will consist of three parts. All of them can be both one color, and different. The main thing is to observe the autumn flavor, and not to make the leaves blue or purple. A detailed manufacturing chart of origami maple leaf is given above. A module from a square is created. To make it easier to bend the paper, you need to make the necessary bends. To do this, fold the two corners of the sheet and bend them back. Now you need to pull two angles to the center. Then you need to bend the remaining untouched part. At this stage, you should get a triangle. Now you need to pull two corners to the center, and then form rhombuses from them. One workpiece is done. By analogy, you need to add two others. The parts should be glued with a small overlap to create the effect of a beautiful and lush sheet. With this craft, you can decorate a matinee costume, a postcard, or you can use a paper creation to make an autumn wreath.
