Good morning, fellow origami lovers and ASMR fans!
Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought I’d make some paper pumpkins to get into the spirit! 🎃
The original designer is none other than one of my favorites, Jo Nakashima. For some reason he placed his pumpkin tutorial in the “simple” playlist, but I don’t think his or my beginner followers would find this design “simple” lol. It might not be something you can pick up quickly if you have very little origami experience. His video is a lot slower than mine though. So if you want a slower more in depth tutorial feel free to check his video out.
There are a few tricky parts towards the end, especially when collapsing the folds together. Some of the creases take a little patience to line up and fold evenly. If you’re trying this design for the first time, I’d budget about 30 minutes for your first pumpkin. Once you’ve made a few, you’ll probably find yourself getting through them much faster. And don’t be afraid to slow down my video if you need to!
For my pumpkins, I used construction paper, mostly because I ran out of orange origami paper. I also folded a separate green stem, but you could use paper that’s orange on one side and green on the other if you’d prefer. Of course, if you’re not in the mood for all that folding, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the crisp sounds of paper folding. 🍁
If you haven't gotten a chance to see me at local art shows, or live too far, you can still watch demonstrations on my YouTube channel
If you'd like like to learn a little more of my background check out my About Me.
And to know when my next market will be or to see more of my work, follow me on instagram
I also have a support page if you'd like to donate a few dollars. Every little bit helps in keeping these paper creations alive!
Have a great fall season everyone!
