Grab your piece of paper. Its going to be an autumn leaf and so we recommend going with orange yellow color.

The key is to start with a square piece of paper approximately 3 inches by 3 inches or 8 cm by 8 cm.

For the piece of paper in half diagonally.

Unfold the paper with the crease being vertical (up and down) and it looks like a diamond shape. Fold the top right side of the diamond into the middle crease.

Fold in other side.

Next, fold the small triangle at the bottom up right at where the side folds end to create another triangle.

Unfold the square paper.

Fold up the bottom triangle from right before you unfolded the paper. Then fold bottom right corner up and under diagonally to the top of the the folded triangle underneath. Then bring the corner that is in the air down to the bottom middle point.

Fold the left side in the same as you did in the previous steps.

Your origami leaf should now look like a bottom heavy diamond shape. The two bottom points should be a bit in the air and not completely flat with the table.

Fold each of those bottom points up back at the original fold. You now have one section of the maple leaf origami. If you would like to go back in and glue your origami into place, you certainly can, but the end result should be this shape.

Repeat the making of the maple leaf three more times.

Placing glue on the top right side of leaf one, glue leaf two on top of leaf one at a slight angle so that the right point from leaf 1 lines up with the left point from leaf two.

Glue the third and fourth leaves on top of the previous leaves.

Grab another square piece of paper

Roll it up starting on one side until it is a thin stem.

Glue the stem to the leaf portion of the maple leaf and viola, you have your own maple leaf origami!
