Silver grass and bellflowers
Why not create an elegant, calming autumn wall display featuring balloon flowers (kikyo), one of the Seven Flowers of Autumn, and pampas grass? It’s a great way for older adults who don’t go out often to enjoy the feeling of autumn right in their room.
You can make the distinctive buds and blossoms of balloon flowers by cutting colored or construction paper; adding crease lines to the petals gives them a three-dimensional look.
Pampas grass can be rendered realistically either by drawing directly onto background craft paper with art materials or by using items like jute twine.
Since you’ll be making many parts, this project is also perfect for an autumn craft activity at a day-service program.
Maple leaf wall decoration
A maple leaf wall decoration that can be arranged in many ways.
You can make the maple leaf shapes by folding origami paper, sketching the outline, and cutting it out, so it should be easy to enjoy doing together with seniors.
Regular origami paper works fine, but using gradient origami gives a more distinctive and festive finish! When displaying it on a wall, arranging it with tree branches and leaves, or combining it with washi or colored paper, creates a charming, atmospheric piece.
Encouraging free expression will also help stimulate seniors’ brains.
Acorn craft with drawing paper and paints
Here are some ideas for making acorns with marble art.
First, line a container with construction paper and place marbles coated with paint on top.
If you want to use several colors, increase the number of marbles and coat each one with a different color of paint.
Tilt the container to roll the marbles and create patterns, then let it dry and cut the construction paper into the shape of an acorn cap.
Place it over the acorn nut you made from construction paper and glue it in place to finish.
If you draw faces on the acorns, they’ll look like characters and turn out even cuter.
Cosmos made of paper tape
What often concerns people when making cosmos flowers is that there are so many intricate steps: finely cutting the petal shapes, and dealing with leaves and stems that have lots of thin lines—very detailed work.
But this method for making cosmos is very simple! For the petals, use paper tape and just cut the tips all at once with pinking shears.
For the stems and leaves, simply cut and twist green pipe cleaners, so even those who aren’t good at delicate tasks can give it a try.
With this method, you can make lots of them—an entire wall covered in cosmos isn’t just a dream!
Halloween letter garland
Here’s a Halloween letter garland that will instantly boost the festive vibe when you hang it in your room! Both the garland base and the letter pieces are made entirely from origami paper.
First, fold the top and both side edges of the base origami 2 cm inward.
Make a slit in the center of the bottom edge, then open it outward to align with the bottom corners to form the garland shape.
For the letters, cut another sheet of origami into four strips.
Fold the two long edges toward the center line, then shape them into letters.
Once you’ve made all the letters for “HAPPY HALLOWEEN,” attach them to the base one by one, string the garland on a cord, and hang it up!
Halloween witch girl
Perfect for Halloween! Let’s make a decoration of a little witch.
Cut out the face, body, hat, and broom parts from construction paper and glue them together.
You can download free templates, so use those to finish it up.
If you change the hat decorations or hairstyle, you can express different kinds of witches.
When displaying it on a wall, decorating it together with a moon, a witch’s house, or ghosts will make it an even lovelier Halloween decoration.
Coming up with your own variations is part of the fun of this craft time.
