Kamikey's Halloween Pocket Folds Into a Pumpkin, a Ghost or a Haunted House
A free, six-minute Halloween fold from Japanese designer Kamikey, and you don't need to read Japanese to follow it.
Kamikey's Halloween pocket is one fold with three endings: finish it as a pumpkin, a ghost or a haunted house. It's the Japanese designer's seasonal model for this year, and the video tutorial is free and runs just under six minutes.
Kamikey (カミキィ) designs original origami models and posts free video instructions for them on YouTube. The pockets are made to be displayed: in Kamikey's own Halloween set-up, folded Dracula and Frankenstein figures peek out of them, next to Kabocha-man, a pumpkin character dating from around 2015. All three are older Kamikey models with their own videos. The striped paper behind them is Kamikey's own design, called sazanami, sold on the Japanese craft marketplace minne.
The video's captions are in Japanese, but origami videos are mostly hands and paper, so you can follow along without reading a word. Keep a finger near pause.
Fold a batch for a classroom or library display, or hand them out to trick-or-treaters; both are fine by Kamikey. If you post a photo, credit the designer with #カミキィ or "Origami design: Kamikey".
