[For Seniors] Fall Wall Decoration Ideas

Paper-cut maple leaves

[Paper Cutting] Easy Way to Make Maple Leaves 🍁 Fall Season Classic Made Only with Scissors | Kirigami with Audio Tips and Precautions / Let’s Start Paper Cutting!

Here’s an idea for making maple leaves with paper cutting.

First, prepare origami paper in yellow, red, orange, and other autumn colors.

Follow the steps to make the creases, then draw a maple leaf with a pencil and cut it out with scissors.

Carefully open it so it doesn’t tear, and your maple leaf is complete.

The initial creases look like leaf veins, giving the leaf a three-dimensional feel even though it’s made from a single sheet of paper.

You can use it as a wall decoration, or glue two together to make a hanging ornament.

It’s an easy craft that seniors can enjoy too, so please use it for your autumn projects.

Maple leaf wall

Kimie Gangi Maple Leaf Wall Display Digest (detailed instructions coming soon) #AutumnWallDecor #MapleLeaves #LargeWallDisplay

How about creating a wall decoration covered entirely with maple leaves? Let’s express an autumn scene that even seniors who find it difficult to go out for fall foliage viewing can enjoy! Use any method you like—maple leaves made with paper-cutting techniques or folded origami leaves—and stretch large branches across the wall, layering the leaves on top.

Attach them while checking the balance of overlapping leaves and colors.

In addition to maple leaves, try adding fallen leaves, insects, or color-changing mountains.

cosmos

Let’s make cosmos flowers, a symbol of autumn, using origami.

One of the defining features of cosmos is that they bloom in a variety of colors like pink and purple, so it’s a great idea to use multiple colors and create a cosmos field.

The key is to fold the origami in two layers to form the petals; by shaping this part carefully, you’ll end up with a three-dimensional cosmos.

Soft creases can enhance the beauty, but they also make the shape more prone to collapsing, so it might be a good idea to glue the overlapping sections in place.

Cosmos hanging ornament

Introducing how to make paper cosmos flowers with origami! Why not decorate for autumn by hanging them on the wall or suspending them? [Tsukuru Mon]

How about making a cosmos wall decoration with beautiful, delicate stems and leaves? All you need is origami paper and wood glue, so it’s easy to make.

For the flowers, join two petal-shaped pieces together, and use yellow origami in the center to create the pistil.

Give the petals dimension by adding layers or curling them so they look almost like real cosmos.

For the stems and leaves, cut them as you would for paper cutouts—be careful with the fine parts so they don’t get cut off.

Finally, roll a thin strip of origami into a border, place the pieces on top, and you’re done.

You can enjoy it not only as a wall decoration but also by hanging it.
