Origami Pumpkin Printable Instructions

Let’s learn how to fold an origami pumpkin designed by Ryan Dong. This is a simple model that creates a pumpkin shape in about 10 minutes. The finished pumpkin has a wide body, a small stem, and a few folds that look like the natural sections of a real pumpkin. It has a clean look that works well for fall decorations. This is an easy project and a great choice for beginners. The folding sequence is smooth and easy to follow. A few pleats at the back help the pumpkin stand on its own for display. Because the model stays mostly flat, it also works well on handmade cards, gift tags, and other seasonal crafts.
