Brush-lettering art: handmade calendar for October
Let’s try making a calligraphy-style art calendar using a brush pen.
With a brush pen, you can create a calendar featuring expressive lettering and illustrations unique to this tool.
What comes to mind when you think of October? Perhaps Halloween, sports festivals, roasted sweet potatoes, or fragrant osmanthus.
We’ll draw these October-themed motifs with the brush pen.
Unlike traditional calligraphy, brush-lettering art has no set stroke order or single correct way—feel free to write however you like.
Older adults can use their own ideas and preferred styles.
It’s also recommended to write the calendar dates with the brush pen.
You can create a one-of-a-kind calendar that showcases the individuality of older adults.
fallen leaves
We’d like to introduce a “fallen leaves” idea that looks as if an autumn scene has been projected straight onto your calendar.
By cutting red, orange, and yellow origami paper and then accordion-folding it, you can create three-dimensional, lifelike leaves.
Scatter them as if they’re fluttering down onto construction paper, and you’ll have a piece brimming with autumn charm.
The folding and cutting work also helps with finger dexterity and concentration, and experimenting with colors and shapes makes creating a warm, personalized calendar even more enjoyable.
It’s a recommended craft that lets you feel the season as you work.
Fallen leaf origami
Here’s an idea for “fallen leaf origami” that lets you feel the deepening of autumn.
Accordion-fold red, brown, yellow, and other colored origami papers, then shape them into leaves to add a three-dimensional look.
Tearing the edges or intentionally missing small sections creates a natural, realistic texture.
Use several finished leaves to decorate a calendar, and the result will have a warm, autumnal feel—like fallen leaves piled on the ground.
The activity also promotes finger dexterity, making it perfect for crafts with older adults.
Witch and Wizard
Here are some “witch and wizard” ideas to boost the autumn Halloween mood.
Use black and purple origami to make hats and capes, and add a pointed hat and broom to instantly elevate the Halloween atmosphere.
The simple shapes make it easy for seniors to try, and the contrasting colors create a striking look.
While keeping space for the date, you can express a cute yet mysterious world—perfect for a calendar craft when you want to enjoy seasonal flair and a playful touch.
witch’s hat
Here’s an idea featuring a “witch’s hat,” perfect for making an autumn Halloween calendar.
Use black or purple origami paper and fold it into a triangle to give it a three-dimensional look for a cute finish.
Add decorations like pumpkins, ribbons, or black cats to show the maker’s personality.
The folding process helps develop fine motor skills and can also improve concentration.
It’s easy for older adults to try and enjoy without strain, making it a playful, seasonally themed activity that’s great for calendar crafting.
Owl decorations with a focus on feathers
Let’s make an owl you can hang on the wall as a decoration.
First, cut out the owl’s base from cardboard.
Take apart a pine cone into individual scales, and start gluing them onto the base along with a tree branch.
Glue the branch to the lower part of the base, and use the pine cone scales on the other areas to create the wings.
Make two round bases for the eyes out of cardboard, then glue jute twine onto them in a spiral.
Attach the black pupils cut from felt.
Glue on the beak, add a string for hanging, and you’re done.

Autumn fruits
Let’s introduce a fall craft: making persimmons using newspaper, whose unique texture and tones are just right for the season.
Tear the colored sections and arrange them to form the shape of a persimmon.
Glue the pieces onto paper to build the persimmon shape.
Tear thin, long strips for the stem as well.
To add a bit of dimension, crumple some pieces before gluing or layer them; this creates movement and results in a delicious-looking, autumnal persimmon.
Deciding on the size and shape of the fruit you want to make beforehand can help you visualize it better and make the process easier.
