Five-storied pagoda and autumn leaves
If you want to create an atmospheric autumn wall display, how about combining a five-story pagoda with autumn leaves? Try depicting the pagoda as a silhouette and adorning it with lots of colorful leaves around it! There are many ways to make the leaves—such as cutting them from origami paper or using accordion folds to create a three-dimensional effect—so choose the method that’s easiest for you.
By making lots in various colors, you’ll add volume and achieve a vibrant, eye-catching display.
Origami crafts are also effective for finger dexterity training and dementia prevention for older adults, so consider incorporating them proactively.
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.
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.
Crescent moon × black cat × honeycomb pumpkin
A moon adorned with flowers and pumpkins… and a black cat standing there gives this wall decoration a truly mysterious feel.
This idea comes with templates, so start by downloading and printing them out.
Basically, you’ll cut out the pieces according to the templates and glue them together.
The honeycomb pumpkins and flowers are made three-dimensional by combining several parts.
There are many pieces, but the steps are simple, so take your time and complete it bit by bit.
Swirling Paper Ghost
The idea of having the ghost’s bottom part as a spiral is really cute.
First, draw a picture of the ghost on white paper.
Think of a snail as your reference—the idea is to draw a snail but make its face a ghost’s face.
Once you’re done, cut away the unnecessary parts around it with scissors, and carefully cut out the spiral section.
Punch a hole in the ghost’s head and hang it with string; the cut spiral will drop downward in a circular shape, making a very striking decoration.
Attach it to a stick and it becomes a portable item too!

Halloween Pom-Pom
Those little pom‑pom dolls made of yarn that you often see in dentists’ waiting rooms—personally, I spot them all the time.
It turns out there are lots of enthusiasts, and there are plenty of tutorial videos online showing how to make them.
Why not give it a try on a long autumn evening? You can even find a “pom‑pom maker” tool for making fluffy balls at 100‑yen shops.
Once you have the tool, all you do is wrap the yarn around—perfect for beginners.
Make them in Halloween‑style orange and purple, okay? You can also find cute googly‑eye stickers at 100‑yen shops, so be sure to look for those!
