A wreath of vividly colored cosmos flowers
Here is an introduction to making a cosmos wreath with origami.
Cosmos petals are long and slender, right? We’ll make petals in that shape using a single sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper to create crease lines, then fold it into the shape of a cosmos.
Some of the folding steps are a bit complex, so older adults or others may find parts challenging.
Please have people nearby help out during the craft.
Once you’ve folded the cosmos flowers, glue them together to form a wreath.
Since the cosmos ends up shaped like a medal, it would also make a lovely gift as a medal-style decoration.
Three-dimensional chrysanthemum flower
Chrysanthemums, whose flower language includes “nobility,” are considered auspicious flowers symbolizing longevity and said to bring good fortune.
Let’s decorate your Respect-for-the-Aged Day gathering with chrysanthemum ornaments! First, cut origami paper into thin strips about 1 cm wide.
Fold each strip in half and round off the ends.
Once done, apply glue to the center and arrange the pieces radially to form a flower shape, layering them as you go.
Next, use a pencil or other thin stick to curl the tips.
Make another one the same way, then stack and glue them together to finish.
Create chrysanthemums in various colors to brighten up the room!
3D grapes
Let’s make one of autumn’s flavors—grapes—out of origami.
Use a compass or similar tool to cut out round shapes from origami paper.
After making several circles, apply glue and layer them.
The key is to fold each piece of origami paper in half, then attach each half to a different circular piece, one by one.
This creates a spherical shape out of origami.
Connect the spheres together, and they will look like a bunch of grapes.
Using origami paper with dots or patterns can add a cute accent.
Older adults may also enjoy feeling the season of autumn through this grape craft.
Noren Cosmos made with tissue paper
Let me introduce a noren-style cosmos decoration made from tissue paper that will brighten up your room.
Prepare tissue paper, paper straws, string, and a tension rod, and let’s get started.
Fold and cut the tissue paper to create petal pieces.
By adding curves or cutting jagged edges, you can make more three-dimensional flowers.
Hang the string on the tension rod, then attach the petals and stamen parts to the string.
Form small loops in the string and thread the petals through as you go.
It’s also important to adjust the shapes so the petals don’t overlap.
origami red spider lily
Let’s make origami red spider lilies, which bloom around the autumn equinox in September.
Combine several sheets of origami paper with long, thin slits cut into them, and curl each strip using a pencil or another thin stick.
For the center of the flower, it’s best to use tissue paper crumpled into a small ball.
Put these parts together, add a long, rolled strip of green paper for the stem, and you’re done! You can turn it into a three-dimensional wall decoration, or arrange the flowers in a bottle like a vase.
Enjoy this seasonal, precious flower and feel the arrival of autumn.
A mobile of apples and pears
Autumn brings an abundance of delicious seasonal fruits—truly the season of hearty appetites.
How about making a mobile shaped like iconic autumn fruits? Using colored construction paper, we’ll create apples and pears.
Make a template and glue several identical pieces together.
Glue along the folds with wood glue or similar; it’s okay if a little squeezes out.
In the center, attach a paper piece shaped like the core of an apple or pear.
Hanging it from the ceiling or displaying it by a window makes for a lovely interior decoration.

Here’s an idea for a “persimmon torn-paper art” project that expresses the fruit by tearing orange and red paper into small pieces.
Add leaves and branches to create a natural look, and use it as a calendar decoration to evoke the richness of the autumn season.
Torn-paper art, which involves using the hands and fingers, is effective for finger dexterity and stimulating cognitive function in older adults, and it also helps cultivate concentration.
As a calendar decoration, it enhances the seasonal atmosphere and creates a warm, soothing space.
It’s a recommended craft that can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
