Autumn wall decorations and hanging ornaments

Let’s make loops out of construction paper or origami in grape-like colors and combine them to create a three-dimensional bunch of grapes.
It’s a simple, repetitive process of linking loops, so it’s easy to do while still giving fingers a good workout.
Using not just single loops but multiple consecutive loops lined up conveys the look of a richly fruited bunch.
Also, instead of sticking to the same purple, using a variety of colors will create a gradient that enhances the three-dimensional effect.
Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos, a representative flower of autumn—why not brighten up your room with a wreath of origami flowers? Fold a single sheet of paper into eighths, then cut it into a petal shape as if making a paper cutout; when you unfold it, you’ll have a cosmos with eight petals.
There are no intricate folding steps to create petal details, so it’s beginner-friendly.
Use several colors of paper—pink, orange, yellow, white, red—to add vibrancy.
It’s even better if you use origami of different sizes to make flowers both large and small.

A maple scenery with a window

This decoration uses origami and paper cords to depict an autumn foliage scene as seen through a round window.
Using paper gives the whole piece a soft feel, and it also creates a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of windows in a traditional inn or restaurant.
The steps are simple: first, use bundled, thickened paper cords to make the circular window frame and lattice.
Next, cut origami to create maple trees and leaves, and arrange them on the wall.
Finally, paste the window frame you made at the beginning over the foliage to complete the piece.
The key is how you attach each part—adhere only part of each piece so the rest lifts slightly off the surface, which enhances the soft look.
Highly recommended.
Mural of autumn leaves

Let’s make maple leaves using red, orange, and yellow construction paper.
First, fold a sheet of construction paper in half, place a template on top, and cut out the maple leaf following the template.
Next, open the paper and draw the veins with crayons.
Make many leaves using this method and stick them on the wall so they overlap slightly.
If you also create buildings, mountains, and other elements with different sheets of construction paper and combine them, it will add depth and make the wall display even more attractive.
The steps are simple, but you’ll need quite a few pieces, so try making them little by little.
Paper Halloween decorations

Here’s a Halloween decoration you can make with construction paper.
The method is simple! Just crease or roll paper strips and staple them together.
You can create lots of Halloween-themed decorations like pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and moons.
You can thread each one with string to hang individually, or make a cute garland.
Having a sample on hand might make it easier for older adults to craft, too.

chrysanthemum flower

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, aren’t there? Because there are so many types, their peak viewing season lasts throughout most of the year, except during the cold winter months.
Chrysanthemums have long been familiar flowers in Japan, so many older adults likely feel a close connection to them.
Here, we’ll introduce a wall decoration made with origami chrysanthemums.
Fold the origami paper and cut it so that it forms petal shapes.
Open and refold the paper, tie a string at the center, and adjust the petals to finish.
The number of petals will change depending on how you fold the paper.
You can also make beautiful chrysanthemums by creating petals from strip-shaped construction paper and gluing them together.
Let’s decorate with various kinds of chrysanthemums to brighten up the facility.
Being in a room with chrysanthemums is sure to bring a sense of calm to older adults.
Chrysanthemum Flower Wall Decoration

Chrysanthemums are one of the most popular flowers in Japan.
In autumn, you’ll see them even more often, with chrysanthemum exhibitions being held.
How about turning those lovely chrysanthemums into a wall decoration? You can make one by cutting and pasting origami paper, tissue paper, or washi, so it should be easy for seniors to try as well.
You can curl the tips of the petals with a bamboo skewer to add movement, and arranging chrysanthemums in various sizes can look beautiful too.
Use a colored shikishi board as the base and enjoy displaying it on the wall.
It would also make a delightful gift for friends or family.
