[For Seniors] Recommended September Origami to Feel Autumn [Part 2]

Hanging persimmon ornaments

[Origami] How to fold a hanging persimmon decoration | Easy origami

Autumn is the season of appetite and harvest—food is closely tied to this time of year.

And when it comes to iconic autumn flavors, it’s no exaggeration to say that persimmons are at the top of the list.

Let’s try making a hanging persimmon decoration using origami! Fold green paper to create the calyx, cut orange paper like a mandarin peel to shape the rounded fruit, and combine them to give a three-dimensional finish.

Make plenty for a big “harvest” and turn your room into a space so delicious-looking it might just make you hungry!

Maple Leaf Wreath

Autumn Foliage: Origami Maple Leaf Wreath

Let’s make a maple leaf wreath using 16 sheets of 7.5 cm origami! Use Tant paper and prepare four colors ranging from red to brown.

Folding 16 sheets is a lot, but since every piece is folded the same way, once you learn the steps it shouldn’t take too long.

Up to a certain point, the folding is the same as for a crane.

After doing the petal fold, we’ll shape the maple leaves with three leaflets.

Once you’ve made 16 pieces, insert them together to form a ring, glue them, and you’re done!

Moon-Viewing Wall Hanging Decoration

[Moon-Viewing Craft] Super Easy! How to Make a Moon-Viewing Wall Hanging with a Paper Plate [Ashitaba Channel]

This is a wall-hanging decoration that captures the moon-viewing scene—an essential event on long autumn nights.

It’s a simple craft made by using a paper plate with the center cut out as the base and adding decorations.

First, paint the paper plate black, then create a night sky by attaching sequins and a moon cut from yellow origami paper.

Next, place dango and rabbits—both staples of moon viewing—and attach a string for hanging to complete it.

It could be fun to think about how to color the night sky with the rising moon and what to include to convey the joy of moon viewing in your own way.

Pacific saury

[Origami] How to fold a Pacific saury and small fish (such as sardines) | Tutorial

Sanma—literally “autumn knife fish” in kanji and a familiar fish with “autumn” in its name—surely ranks in the top three flavors of the season.

For all you sanma lovers, here’s a recommendation: why not make a sanma wall decoration? Since it’s made with origami, it’s perfect for recreation activities at senior facilities, too.

A video carefully demonstrates how to make both right-facing and left-facing versions, as well as small fish, so be sure to check it out.

When decorating the wall, consider the balance between large and small fish to create a fun display!

The Harvest Moon and clouds

[Origami] Perfect for Tsukimi decorations! How to fold a full moon and clouds (with diagrams and instructions!)

In September, many facilities probably decorate their walls with a harvest moon motif.

Here’s an idea for making a full moon and clouds with origami! For the full moon, fold the paper into a triangle twice to make crease lines, then open it up.

Fold each of the four corners toward a point about halfway between the center and the corners, and you’re done.

For the clouds, fold the paper in half into a square to make a crease, then open it and fold two opposite corners to the center.

Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you’ve created along the crease lines, then fold the whole piece in half along the central crease.

Finally, tuck the left and right corners inward, and it’s complete.

Try folding the clouds with cumulus clouds in mind!

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Wreath / How to Make Cosmos Wreath

Speaking of cosmos flowers, September is the best time to see them.

It would be wonderful to visit a real cosmos field, but if you can’t, try making a cosmos wreath! Use green construction paper for the base of the wreath, and colorful origami paper for the cosmos flowers.

You can make the flowers by folding the origami into the specified shape, then cutting with scissors and adding small slits.

Choose your favorite colors and create a cosmos wreath that’s uniquely yours.

When you display it in your room, it will brighten the space and make it feel lively and festive!
