Origami: How to fold an Apple

Autumn is the best season for apples too, isn’t it?♥

Apples are one of the popular fruits among people of all generations

because they are so sweet and delicious.

They’re delicious by themselves,

but we can also enjoy them for their juice, pies, cakes and jam!

Since apples look so pretty,

they will be even prettier if you draw a face on an origami apple!

Why don’t you fold it with your children?？♪

How to fold an apple ver1

1. First, fold it in half.

2. Fold only the top layer in half, like the picture below.

3. Fold it in half, make a crease and put it back.

4. Fold both sides to the crease, like the picture below.

5. Fold all corners a little, like the picture below.

6. Turn it over.

7. Make a leaf and a calyx with something like poster board,

attach with glue, and it’s done!

The round apple, even an origami apple, looks delicious, doesn’t it?

You can make a leave

and a calyx individually and put them together at the end.★

You can arrange and make various types of apples;

by changing the place you put the leaf.

Also, you can give it to somebody as a gift,

if you make it with bigger origami paper or poster board,

and put the message card into the bag part too!♥

What’s more?  By changing the calyx leaf color of ver1 of apple,

they will become a persimmon or a pear too!

Try your favorite fruits!

You can also make a green apple, if you use greenish yellow origami paper.♪

You can make a separated leaf or calyx

by drawing or with something like poster board

and put it on the ver2 of apple too,

since it is made only by one sheet of paper.

It will be more realistic that way!★
