🎃 Halloween origami: Easy, spooky, and fun to fold (part 1)


Origami Unfold

Hi [first name goes here],

After several emails promoting our amazing origami membership (and I promise, my opinion is totally unbiased! 😉), I didn’t forget you. I’m back with an avalanche of Halloween origami (and this is only part one!). All four models are easy to fold, and honestly, I can’t say witch one is my favorite 🧙‍♀️

This month, Francesco Mancini joins our growing list of partner artists with two Witch Hat designs. You’ll also find Nicolas Terry’s Jack-o’-Lantern and Sébastien Limet’s Skull.

Before we start, a quick note on printable diagrams: many of you are still downloading them from the forms at the bottom of each tutorial. Save yourself the trouble and bookmark our Origami Library, where you’ll find all our printable diagrams gathered on one page (a little perk for our newsletter readers). – Saki

🤝 Our Community Is Growing

It’s nice to share discoveries and folds with people who get it - those who enjoy the same calm, creative moments that origami brings. And while our forum was created as a bonus to the membership, it’s already growing into a welcoming space where members encourage each other, share ideas, and celebrate every fold.

If you’re looking for a place to grow your skills, exchange ideas, and connect with people who share your love for origami, we’d love to have you with us.

📘 New Book: Origami Life: Wings & Tails by Sampreet Manna

A new book that caught my eye this week: Origami Life: Wings & Tails by Sampreet Manna. This volume features 16 original, unpublished models exploring wings, tails, and expressive creatures in motion.

Most of the designs are intermediate to complex, offering a satisfying challenge for experienced folders.

🧛 Origami Inspirations

This origami vampire by Peter Buchan-Symons masterfully balances complexity and restraint. While the face is full of intricate detail, much of the body is intentionally hidden within a rolled cloak. A choice that adds mystery and evokes the shape of a bat’s wing. 🤌

You can discover more of Peter’s creations in his three Origami Fantasy books, and also in our Origami Circle membership, where he’s one of the talented diagram artists behind our tutorials (including the simple skull shared in this issue).
