Two-toned cosmos flower folded from a single sheet
Here’s how to make a cosmos flower that shows both sides of the origami paper to create a two-toned bloom.
It’s a delicate process, but you only need origami paper, and the key is making small cuts at the end to create petal-like shapes.
There are many folding steps, but if you go slowly, it’s not too difficult.
It might be nice to fold them together during craft time at a facility and use them as wall decorations.
Using double-sided colored origami paper would also make the flowers colorful and beautiful.
Cosmos in 2 Minutes! Easy Version
Here’s a very easy way to make cosmos flowers using scrap materials.
Fold origami paper three times, then use pinking shears to make cuts on one side.
Snip between the petals with scissors, apply double-sided tape to the bottom, and roll a plastic bottle cap onto it to secure.
Stuff the inside of the bottle cap with crumpled yellow tissue paper, curl the petals, and you’re done.
If you’ve got lots of spare plastic bottle caps, why not take this opportunity to put them to use?
Frame of “Grapes and Cosmos”
Autumn is a season with many delicious fruits, and among them, grapes come in many varieties.
And when it comes to symbolic autumn flowers, cosmos are a classic.
Here’s an idea: frame and display these two together.
For the grapes, to create a three-dimensional look, cut several half-circle pieces of origami paper to the same size and assemble them as if making half of a paper ball.
Stack the origami sheets and trace the template from above, then cut them all at once for efficiency.
For the cosmos, use pink, red, white, and yellow paper; simply cut petal shapes and layer a few together.
Try decorating the basket with grape leaves and tendrils as well.
[Macrame Weaving] Pampas Grass and Fallen Leaves Decoration

Macramé, which is also highly popular as an interior decor item.
How about trying to make pampas grass and fallen leaves with macramé, which is great because you can knot it without needles or machines? All you need is rope—and a pair of scissors to get started right away.
Loop short pieces of rope onto a central rope, then simply unravel the strands.
First loosen them gently by hand, then use a comb or similar tool to patiently tease the rope apart until it becomes threads.
Finally, trim any excess with scissors and shape it, and you’re done.

Jizo Bodhisattva pastel art
Many older people have probably seen rows of Jizo statues along the roadside at least once.
Let’s try turning a scene with Jizo statues into a wall decoration.
With pastel art, you can feel the gentle atmosphere of the Jizo even more.
We’ll powder the pastel medium and create the picture.
Pastel drawings are colored, but you can erase them with an eraser.
You can also use techniques like creating light and dark contrasts, blurring, and gradients.
Once older adults become comfortable with pastel art, it might be nice to have them try various techniques.
Jizo statues suit seasonal landscapes throughout the year.
Please use these pastel art ideas as inspiration.
Moon-viewing Dumpling Wall Decorations
Even if it’s difficult to display real Tsukimi dango, a wall decoration lets you enjoy the moon-viewing scene without taking up space! Cut out Tsukimi dango and the sanpō (the tray that holds the dango) from construction paper and stick them on the wall.
If you want a slightly three-dimensional look, you could use cotton or crumpled tissue paper for the dango.
Around the dango, try adding a lively touch by sticking on a moon, pampas grass, and rabbits cut from construction paper as well.
Moon-Viewing Wall Hanging Decoration
This is a wall-hanging decoration that captures the moon-viewing scene—an essential event on long autumn nights.
It’s a simple craft made by using a paper plate with the center cut out as the base and adding decorations.
First, paint the paper plate black, then create a night sky by attaching sequins and a moon cut from yellow origami paper.
Next, place dango and rabbits—both staples of moon viewing—and attach a string for hanging to complete it.
It could be fun to think about how to color the night sky with the rising moon and what to include to convey the joy of moon viewing in your own way.
