Leveraging my experience working as a care worker at a day service, I am currently active as a writer in the caregiving and welfare fields. Beyond writing, I hope to expand my work into web design and illustration. I am a mother of three who has begun studying to become a certified social worker.

While the days still feel hot, September brings a string of mornings and evenings that are gradually cooler.

Here are origami ideas perfect for the transition from summer to autumn.

We’ve gathered a wide range of creations: flowers that are at their best in September, seasonal foods, and pieces inspired by September observances.

There are also cleverly arranged projects like wreaths and wall decorations made with origami pieces.

Finished works will look lovely displayed on facility walls or taken home to decorate your space.

These selections are designed so that even older adults, who may find it difficult to sense the changing seasons, can feel the atmosphere of September by making and displaying the creations.

Use these origami ideas as inspiration for your next project.

[For Seniors] Recommended September Origami to Feel Autumn [Part 3] (11–20)

Kusudama of the Queen of the Night

Are you familiar with the flower called the Queen of the Night? It starts blooming at night and withers by the next morning—a fleeting yet beautiful blossom.

If you fold a Queen of the Night in origami, you can enjoy it anytime, which is lovely, isn’t it? The process is a bit complex, but keep your creases sharp as you go.

This version is a kusudama, so you’ll make many identical units and thread them together at the end to form a round, three-dimensional shape.

Since it’s strung with thread, it looks wonderful hanging from the ceiling.

Because it’s spherical, you can see the Queen of the Night from any angle—highly recommended.

They were all pieces that made you feel the arrival of autumn in September.

Origami is something you can do while chatting as you make your creations.

It’s a recreational activity that allows seniors to communicate with others, so please enjoy making them while having fun.
