Spider web
If you want decorations with a spooky Halloween vibe, how about making spiderwebs? Just fold origami paper four times, draw a spiderweb pattern, and cut—it’s easy enough for seniors to make, too.
Using large origami paper can create a striking wall decoration.
You can also make spiders, ghosts, and jack-o’-lanterns from other sheets and attach them to the web for a lively touch.
Try making lots in Halloween colors like red, purple, and black.
Cosmos hanging ornament
How about making a cosmos wall decoration with beautiful, delicate stems and leaves? All you need is origami paper and wood glue, so it’s easy to make.
For the flowers, join two petal-shaped pieces together, and use yellow origami in the center to create the pistil.
Give the petals dimension by adding layers or curling them so they look almost like real cosmos.
For the stems and leaves, cut them as you would for paper cutouts—be careful with the fine parts so they don’t get cut off.
Finally, roll a thin strip of origami into a border, place the pieces on top, and you’re done.
You can enjoy it not only as a wall decoration but also by hanging it.
Cosmos wall hanging
In autumn, cosmos flowers bloom in cute shades of pink and white.
How about making wall decorations with these cosmos? There are many ways: cut construction paper into cosmos shapes and paste them, or fold origami several times, make cuts, and unfold it to form the petals.
Using washi paper is also recommended, as it gives your work a unique texture.
Besides pink and white, cosmos come in various colors like red and orange, so try making cosmos in many colors and turn your room into a beautiful cosmos field.

tassel garland
Just cut and tie! Let’s make a very simple tassel garland.
Gather old clothes you no longer wear or fabric scraps, and cut out lots of rectangles measuring 20 cm by 2 cm.
Then prepare some twine or paper string and simply tie the fabric strips onto it.
Using fabrics with different colors and patterns will make a very festive garland.
Since the only steps are cutting and tying, it’s easy to chat and have fun while you work.
Ask older adults to help too, starting with collecting clothes they no longer wear.
Halloween Garland
Here’s how to make a Halloween garland using paper cutouts.
Prepare origami paper in your favorite colors, divide each sheet into three strips 5 cm wide, then glue the strips together end to end to make a long piece.
Accordion-fold it, then draw Halloween-themed designs like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats.
Cut along the outlines with scissors and unfold to reveal a cute garland! Since the steps are just gluing, drawing, and cutting, even older adults can complete it in a short time.
For shapes that are hard to cut with scissors, like circles, using a hole punch is convenient.
Halloween pumpkin wreath
How about a pumpkin wreath for your Halloween decorations? Make a base out of thick paper, wrap it with black yarn, and create a spiderweb on the inside of the wreath.
Then make pumpkins and flowers with TANT paper and stick them onto the base to finish.
Using a craft punch to cut out the flowers makes it easy.
For the pumpkins, create a template shaped like half a pumpkin and use it to cut the necessary pieces from TANT paper.
Glue the pieces together to make a three-dimensional pumpkin.
Some of the steps are a bit detailed, but it will brighten up your wall, so give it a try!
Halloween mobile
Let me introduce a sparkly Halloween mobile.
First, cut out shapes from construction paper, such as a jack-o’-lantern, bats, a castle, and spider webs.
Draw patterns and cut those parts out as well.
Once you attach colored cellophane to one side, the decorative pieces are done.
Next, just tie the decorations to the hanging part made with string and straws.
When light hits the colored cellophane, it sparkles beautifully.
It’s very easy to make, so it’s perfect for craft activities for seniors.
