Halloween Origami

Origami for Halloween

Origami (from oru meaning 'folding,' and kami meaning 'paper') is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.

Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. [Wikipedia]

Here are some of the best Halloween origami instructions from the web.

    I am sure you can paint those spiders to make them even look more scary.

    Well, I like the spider's web (similar to making snowflakes) and of course, the orange and black bats. What a super project for the kids. There's no mess, no glue, no paint to clean up afterwards either. Thanks for sharing such a unique Halloween project with us.

    What a fun project to do with kids! I liked the link to the origami site--that was new to me. My favorite? Hmmm....I like folding money so I'd have to say my favorite is the bat! :)

    What a great lens! My son and I just did some Halloween origami last week. It certainly takes a high degree of patience, but it can be loads of fun. I can't wait to try some of the resources you have listed here!
