Persimmons and maple leaves

[Craft Idea] Persimmons and Maple Leaves (November, Autumn) (Wall Decoration) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy OT, Childcare) (3D Origami) (DIY Origami) (Original/Creative)

Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that combines persimmons and autumn leaves—classic symbols of fall flavors.

The key is to create a sense of depth, which can make even a plain wall look vibrant and colorful.

Because there are many steps that use fine motor skills—like cutting and pasting origami paper and crumpling it up—this is a great project for large groups in day-service craft activities.

Adding firm creases to the maple leaves and persimmon leaves easily gives them a three-dimensional look, so be sure to give it a try.

3D origami cosmos flower

[Craft Idea] Cosmos (Sep–Oct) (Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors / Occupational Therapy / Early Childhood Education) (Origami) (Original Design) (DIY Papercraft) (Flower Crafts)

Cosmos, a flower that represents autumn, is simple and cute when you look at each blossom individually.

But a field covered in blooming cosmos is truly overwhelming and spectacular, isn’t it? How about recreating that cosmos field by scattering three-dimensional cosmos flowers all over a wall? You can make the cosmos flowers by cutting folded origami paper; by leaving the base intact and cutting away part of it, you create a gluing tab, resulting in flowers with a three-dimensional look.

For the leaves and stems, use the technique of detailed paper-cutting with fine-tipped scissors, and be careful not to overcut.

Grape wall decoration

[Easy Craft with Construction Paper & Origami] I Tried Making a Grape Wall Decoration! Fruit Free Printable Template

For cute character decorations with a grape motif, pay attention to the choice of base colors and the placement of the facial features.

If the grape motif isn’t clear from the outline alone, adding shadows to the grapes can create a sense of depth and make it more recognizable.

Also, creating bases in different colors and arranging them together can effectively convey a bountiful autumn harvest and a lively atmosphere.

For the backgrounds where each character will be placed, choose bright colors like green so that the grape purple stands out.

Simple Maple Leaf

Here’s an easy way to fold a maple leaf using a single sheet of origami paper without scissors or glue.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, open it, then fold along the opposite diagonal into a triangle and open it to create crease lines.

Fold the left and right sides inward to meet the center crease.

Turn it over and match the bottom triangle to the top triangle.

Rotate the paper back to its original orientation, open the pockets, and fold them along the center line.

Fold the bottom triangle up in half, turn it over, fold back the upper left and right sections, and shape it into a maple leaf.

You’re done!

Autumn leaves and ginkgo

Maple and Ginkgo Origami: Introducing a Slightly Unusual Leaf Shape! Perfect for Autumn Decorations in September and October! [Tsukuru Mon]

Here’s an idea for making 3D maple leaves using accordion-folded origami.

First fold the paper into a triangle, then accordion-fold the triangle.

Open it up, fold in half, and cut it into a triangle shape.

For the other pieces, cut them into triangles as well, reducing one or two folds each time so they gradually get smaller.

Fold each piece firmly into a triangle, fold in half, and glue—this creates a maple leaf shape! Try combining large and small pieces and pasting them together.

You can use the same accordion-fold method to make ginkgo leaves, too—perfect for autumn crafts or wall decorations.
