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.

Grapes made with tissue paper
Let’s make a big bunch of grapes using soft tissue paper! The steps are simple, so it should be a fun autumn craft activity for a day service.
First, stack sheets of tissue paper that have been cut in half and fold them in an accordion.
Cut the folded stack into two, staple the center, and carefully open it up.
Make several of these tissue paper pieces, then glue them together in the shape of grapes to complete the fruit.
You can also cut branches, tendrils, and leaves from construction paper to decorate—so charming! If you make it with a large group, you can even take on a bigger project like a wall display.
Cosmos Plate Artwork Made with Tissue-Paper Collage
How about making cosmos flowers out of tissue paper and decorating a paper plate to create a cosmos picture plate? Fold the tissue paper into thirds, then fold a corner into a triangle to make a square.
Fold that up and cut out petal shapes—this lets you make three cosmos flowers at once.
Use your preferred colors of tissue paper, such as red, pink, or white.
Brush a layer of glue thinned with water onto the paper plate, then arrange the cosmos on top.
Brush more glue over the flowers to set them in place.
If you also decorate the rim of the paper plate with tissue paper in colors you like, let it dry thoroughly and you’re done.
3D mobile decoration of a pumpkin ghost
When it comes to fall events, Halloween is the first that comes to mind, and pumpkin-themed decorations are the classic choice.
Let’s make an essential Halloween jack-o’-lantern using origami.
Fold the origami paper, cut it into the shape of a jack-o’-lantern while it’s folded, then change the creases of each connected part and glue them together to finish.
It’s easy to understand if you insert a string when gluing so you can hang it, but since it has a three-dimensional finish, it might also be nice to leave off the string and use it as a standing decoration.
Cute full moon rabbit
Autumn moon viewing is an important event, as it’s also known for the Harvest Moon.
Let’s make the essential moon-and-rabbit motif for moon viewing with origami.
In this design, you fold yellow origami paper back into the shape of a rabbit, creating the look of a rabbit appearing on the moon.
Because it’s completed with a single sheet of origami paper, the finished piece has a unified feel—that’s a key point to note.
By forming the rabbit with fine reverse folds and giving it a three-dimensional finish, you can clearly convey the impression that it’s emerging from the moon.
Cute! A three-dimensional maple leaf
This is a three-dimensional autumn leaf decoration made by creatively adding folds and cuts to construction paper.
Since it’s a single maple leaf, you can use it on its own or incorporate it into larger decorations.
The key is to carefully measure the length of each cut as you go; the more attention you give to the finer details, the sturdier and more three-dimensional the leaf will be.
Be mindful of the amount of glue you use so the color of the construction paper stands out.
It could be fun to make leaves in various colors and assemble them into a large, three-dimensional autumn tree.
