sweet potato
How about a sweet potato–themed craft as a wall decoration that evokes autumn? You can easily create one by cutting out sweet potatoes and vines from construction paper and assembling them.
If you want a three-dimensional effect, crumple newspaper into a shape and wrap it with reddish-purple paper to mimic the lumpy texture of a sweet potato.
Adjusting the size and shape, and adding leaves and vines will make the wall display even more vibrant—highly recommended.
Even if going sweet potato digging is difficult, making a wall decoration like this will let you feel the arrival of autumn and enjoy its seasonal flavors!

Sea bream, known as “Momijidai,” comes into season not only in spring but also in autumn.
Let’s enjoy the flavors of the autumn sea by making this delicious autumn sea bream into a wall decoration.
Once you cut out the shape of a sea bream from construction paper, you can cut patterns from paper in different colors and paste them on, or draw scales and other patterns with paint or pens to complete the look—easy! Because sea bream symbolizes good fortune, it’s also popular for New Year’s.
So after using it as a wall decoration in September, be sure to reuse it for New Year’s displays as well.
dragonfly
As if to celebrate the harvest, all kinds of insects appear in autumn, don’t they? Let’s make a dragonfly—one of the insects strongly associated with autumn—out of origami.
You can aim for a realistic dragonfly, or go for a cute, stylized version.
We’ll create parts like the body and wings and then assemble them; by changing the colors, you can end up with a vibrant dragonfly.
If you keep a rounded feel for the body parts and a thin, delicate look for the wings, you’ll achieve a more realistic effect.
Grapes × Cosmos
It’s a decoration that strongly evokes the autumn atmosphere, with grapes inside a basket and cosmos flowers arranged around them.
For the grape cluster, use a sheet of construction paper cut into the shape of grapes as the base, and attach accordion-folded circles to represent the berries.
For the cosmos flowers, layer two petal pieces and attach a yellow piece in the center to complete the flower shape.
Next, create the basket weave by alternating strips of long, narrow brown origami paper, wrap it around the grapes, and place the cosmos around the outside to finish.
Each part involves detailed steps, so it’s a craft that tests concentration and fine motor skills.
Grape wall decoration
For cute character decorations with a grape motif, pay attention to the choice of base colors and the placement of the facial features.
If the grape motif isn’t clear from the outline alone, adding shadows to the grapes can create a sense of depth and make it more recognizable.
Also, creating bases in different colors and arranging them together can effectively convey a bountiful autumn harvest and a lively atmosphere.
For the backgrounds where each character will be placed, choose bright colors like green so that the grape purple stands out.

Grape decoration
Autumn is the season when a variety of vegetables and fruits are harvested.
Among autumn fruits, let’s make a classic grape decoration using origami.
It’s a simple project: just attach grape berries, a stem, and leaves to a triangular folded base.
If you crumple the paper to make textured berries or use different colors of origami for the berries, it will look more realistic—highly recommended.
Besides using it as a regular decoration, you could also attach a string and turn it into a hanging ornament.
Grapes & Cherries
These are soft, rounded parts shaped by gently forming a square sheet of origami.
Arrange small purple circles in a triangle to make grapes, or attach a stem to red circles to make cherries.
The key is a soft appearance—don’t press the creases too hard; fold gently to add a raised, three-dimensional look.
When making grapes, the arrangement and layering also matter; changing the order you place them helps create a sense of volume.
Combining various colors instead of using just one can also produce depth through color gradation.
