Origami - Halloween Pumpkin

1. Introduction: Nice to meet you everyone. My name is Mami and I'm Japanese. Before we start, I'd like to talk a little bit about myself. I used to live in the UK for six years from when I was 8 to 14. But before that and after that period, I've always lived in Tokyo. I have two daughters, 5 and 4, and I loved playing with origami with them. In my videos I'm going to share with you a unique and traditional Japanese culture, Origami. Despite the long history, origami is still loved by lots of Japanese and foreigners. This is a pack of origami papers we can get in Japan. Usually there are 15 cm in each size. But you can use any kinds of paper as long as you cut them up into a square. In this course, I'm going to teach you how to make two different types of Halloween pumpkins. For beginners, I advise you to start with making this one. It's made a three sheets of paper. It's very easy to make. This one is made from one sheet of paper. It might be a bit difficult for the beginners, but I'm sure you'll be able to make it at the end by watching my video. I'm going to show you how to make a witch's hat to put on a pumpkin head. Or either you can make a stem like this. I'm very excited that you're here. I hope you'll enjoy my course. 2. Pumpkin 1 - 1 sheet of paper: Start white side up, fold in half to make a rectangle. And fold in half again to make a square. Open it up. Fold in half to make a triangle. Fold in half again to make a smaller triangle. Open the upper layer and flatten to make a square. Turn it over. Make a crease along the vertical line. And then open the upper layer and flatten to make a square. Rotate So that the open edge comes at the top. Take the upper layer on the right and make a crease along the vertical line. Open it up at the top and flatten. Fold the top corner along the orange horizontal line. Make a crease and tuck it inside the orange layer at the top. Turn it over, and fold the right edge, and the left edge, and the bottom corner. Now we have a Halloween pumpkin. You can use the wider side at the top or at the bottom, whichever you like. And enjoy drawing the halloween face on them. In the next video, I'm going to show you how to make the pumpkin stem, and the witch's hat that you can put on the pumpkin head. 3. Pumpkin 1 - Hat and stem: Okay, now let's get prepared to make the witch's hat. We're going to use one forth size origami. So if you're using a usual 15 cm squared origami, please cut it into four. One-fourth size will be 7.5 cm square origami. Now let's start folding. Color side at the bottom, white side up, fold it into a triangle. And open it up and rotate so that the crease in the middle is vertical. Fold the right side, and the left side along the vertical line. Fold the top corner along the horizontal line. Turn it over so that the point of the isosceles triangle is at the top. Fold up the bottom line a little bit to make the hats brim and then twist back the top edge. And now you have the witch's hat. You can stick the hat on the pumpkin's head with a glue or any type of tapes. Now we're going to prepare to make the pumpkin's stem. We're going to use one-sixteenth size origami. This is one-fourth size origami we made earlier. We're going to use one-sixteenth. Okay, let's start. Color side at the bottom, white set up, fold it in half to make a rectangle. Ope it up, fold the bottom side and the top side along the horizontal line. Fold it in half, along the middle. And fold in half. You can fix the stem with a glue or a tape, and stick it behind the pumpkin's head. 4. Pumpkin 2 - 3 sheets of paper: Now let's make different types of pumpkins. These are each made of three pieces of paper and stuck them together, with a glue or a tape. Two parts on the right and the left are folded in the same way. The one in the middle is very similar, but a bit different with a stem at the top. The part in the middle can be yellow or orange, any color you like. Okay, now let's start folding. You need one fourth size origami. Please cut the original size into four. We're going to use three sheets of these. First, we're going to make the right part and the left part. Color side at the bottom, white side up. Fold it in half to make a triangle and open it up. Rotate so that the crease is vertical. And fold the right side, and the left side, along the vertical line. Then fold the top corner down so that the corner matches the center of the orange horizontal line. Fold the bottom corner up to the same point. And this is it. And do exactly the same for the another sheet. Let's get on with the middle part. White side up. Fold it in half to make a triangle. Open it up and rotate so that the crease is vertical. And fold the right side and the left side along the vertical line. Fold the top corner down to the center of the orange horizontal line. It doesn't have to be exact, but divide this orange vertical line into three. And forward 1/3 up. Fold it down a little. Then fold the edge up a little. Now we've finished making the middle part. Now, let's stick the three parts together. I'm using the scotch tape, but it can be any types of types or it can be a glue. Now, enjoy drawing the pumpkin face! 5. Ending: Thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it and see you in the next course.
