Paper core bat
These bats are incredibly handy when decorating a room with a Halloween vibe.
Make plenty of them and they’ll look like a swarm, boosting the spookiness.
First, cut a toilet paper roll in half—leave it as is if you want a bigger bat—and cover it with black paper.
It’s a good idea to line the inside with black paper too.
For the wings, use cellophane or plastic and craft the shape.
Make the eyes a vivid yellow or gold to contrast with the black! If you decorate with fluorescent paint, they’ll glow in the dark.
These bats will spark all kinds of creative ideas!
dragonfly ornament
When it comes to autumn scenery, many people probably imagine a scene at dusk with dragonflies darting about.
This activity shows you how to make dragonflies—an essential element of that autumn landscape—using disposable chopsticks and washi origami.
First, wrap hemp twine around a cut piece of chopstick to create the dragonfly’s body.
Next, attach coiled twine pieces as the eyes, and form a loop from origami paper; shape it and attach it in the position of the wings to complete the whole piece.
Choose your colors and shapes to bring out your own originality.
Felt cosmos
Here’s an easy felt cosmos project perfect for beginners.
When crafting cosmos flowers from felt, make small jagged cuts with scissors as you go to create a three-dimensional look.
For the center of the flower, make a yellow felt piece and secure it together with a wire.
Cut felt leaves and attach them to the wire, and your cosmos is complete.
The warm, gentle feel of these cosmos flowers is so charming.
Try displaying them in a vase and enjoy!
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!
Grape wreath made with chirimen fabric
Here’s how to make a grape wreath using chirimen fabric and covered buttons.
Cut the chirimen fabric into circles.
Place the rounded side of a covered button in the center of a fabric circle and secure it with glue as if wrapping it.
Once wrapped, press in the remaining part of the covered button with the metal side facing up.
This completes a grape berry.
Attach the grape berries to a backing sheet to form a bunch of grapes.
Decorate the wreath base with paper grape leaves and the grape bunches.
The texture of chirimen fabric adds warmth to the piece.
It’s a craft that older adults are likely to enjoy as a lovely grape-themed project.
Grape wall hanging decoration
When there’s a grape craft displayed indoors, some older adults may think, “Ah, autumn has arrived.” Here’s an easy grape wall decoration you can make with familiar materials.
Take a small rectangular piece of tissue paper for flowers and wrap a small balled-up piece of tissue inside so it forms a round shape.
Use colors that evoke grapes, like blue or purple.
Connect the crumpled tissue pieces to create a grape cluster.
Assemble paper straws to make a hanging base and attach the grapes.
Make leaves and a stem as well, and stick them on to complete the piece.
You can make it using only items from a 100-yen shop, so please use this as a reference and give it a try.
Grape picture postcard
We’re going to make a grape-themed craft using a stencil for stamping.
Cut construction paper into round shapes of different sizes.
Place the cut circles on the postcard backing and start stamping.
The key is to shift the circles as you stamp so they form the shape of a bunch of grapes.
You can use pieces of cut sponge as stamps, or purchase dedicated stamps from craft stores.
This stamping craft seems like something older adults would also enjoy.
Once it’s finished, you can have fun sending your grape art postcards to family and friends.
