[For Seniors] Fall Wall Decoration Ideas

program fan

[Craft Play] This will make your sports day schedule perfect! Program Fan

Having uchiwa fans at a sports day is handy for cheering and even during events.

Plus, try attaching the sports day program to the fan.

That way, older participants can easily see what event is coming next.

Even after the sports day ends, everyone can look back and see which events took place.

It can spark conversations with family once people get home, and some may enjoy reminiscing as they look it over.

If you’re going to make them, we recommend using empty milk cartons.

Cut the carton into a circle and attach construction paper.

Make two of these, place a stick between them, and glue them together.

Finally, attach the program to the front of the fan, and you’re done.

It’s easy to make, so give it a try!

Grapes in a plastic bottle

[Senior Recreation] Origami Grapes: 3D ⭐️ Flat, Plastic Bottle Caps

Use the rounded shape of plastic bottle caps to draw grape berries, cut them out, and combine them to make grape decorations.

If you use only the cut origami pieces, you’ll have a flat decoration; if you attach them to the caps, you can create a three-dimensional one.

Using caps that match the color of the berries gives a unified look, but if you can’t prepare enough caps, wrapping them with origami or painting them is also recommended.

Encourage attention to fine motor movement by cutting accurately along the lines and creating small, detailed parts step by step.

Real and simple maple leaf

【Autumn Origami】Realistic and Easy Maple / Origami Maple

Here’s an idea for maple leaves you can easily make with origami and display in lots of places.

First, fold the paper into a triangle with the side you want to show—the colored side—on the inside.

Fold it in half again, then open it.

Fold both sides toward the crease you just made, and open it again.

After adding radial crease lines to the triangular origami, begin folding by gathering those creases toward the edges.

The key is to offset each fold slightly.

Then, freehand draw the leaf shape, cut along the line, and open it up to reveal a maple leaf.

You can use this basic method for many different purposes.

It can be a piece of art! Maple leaf wall decoration

Autumn Decorations: How to Make Maple Leaves — Introducing Wall-Hanging and Hanging Decorations Using Origami and Construction Paper! Why not try making fall foliage for October and November? [Tsukuru-mon]

This decoration combines drawing paper and origami, featuring a soft look and striking, layered three-dimensionality.

You use a sheet of drawing paper with a lattice of cuts as the base, then layer maple leaf pieces on top.

By considering the base’s uneven surface as you add the pieces, you can effectively create depth and a realistic sense of dimension in the foliage.

It may also be important to choose a background color that highlights the maple leaf colors.

A rod and string are attached to the top of the base, making it easy to hang and display in a variety of locations.

Papercut Art: Moon-Viewing Rabbit

[Kirie] How to Make Moon-Viewing Rabbits 🌙 Adorable bunnies pounding mochi on the harvest moon 🐇 Easy to make with just scissors ♪ [With voice instructions] / Let’s start paper-cutting!

Here’s a paper-cutting idea of a moon with the silhouette of a rabbit pounding mochi.

It seems useful for wall decorations, autumn crafts, and many other settings.

The method is simple: fold a sheet of yellow origami paper in half, draw the rabbit and the moon with lines, and cut them out with scissors.

If you have trouble drawing a perfect circle for the moon, fold the paper twice and draw one quarter at a time.

Also, since freehand drawing the rabbit can be tricky, it may help to draw guide lines beforehand; for older adults, it might be better to have them trace over those lines with a pen.

Animal beanbag toss competition

September 'Sports Day' wall display

At sports festivals, it’s quite common to have a ball-tossing game, isn’t it? It’s a competition where you pick up beanbags or balls from the ground and toss them into a basket, and it’s exciting to watch, too.

Let’s make a wall decoration that transforms that lively scene into animals playing the ball-toss game.

Create animals like elephants, rabbits, mice, and bears using construction paper or origami.

Of course, make the basket and the balls to go into the basket to display along with the animals.

It’s also recommended to add international flags, the kind used as festive decorations, to make the atmosphere even more colorful and cheerful.

Cute maple leaves

[Autumn Origami] Easy! Cute Maple Leaf How to Make / Fall Foliage Decoration Origami Maple

When it comes to plants that symbolize autumn, brilliantly colored red and yellow autumn leaves come to mind.

Let’s make those evocative fall leaves with origami.

This project combines parts to create a three-dimensional finish, resulting in sturdy origami that works not only as part of a decoration but also stands on its own.

Cut small pieces of origami paper with scissors, fold them into diamond shapes, and assemble them to form a maple leaf.

By paying attention to the seam in the center, you’ll achieve a lifelike three-dimensional shape.

You can even aim for a more realistic look by intentionally combining parts of slightly different sizes instead of using pieces that are all the same.
