[For Seniors] Fall Wall Decoration Ideas

Halloween mobile

Stained-glass-style with cellophane ♪ Halloween mobile

Let me introduce a sparkly Halloween mobile.

First, cut out shapes from construction paper, such as a jack-o’-lantern, bats, a castle, and spider webs.

Draw patterns and cut those parts out as well.

Once you attach colored cellophane to one side, the decorative pieces are done.

Next, just tie the decorations to the hanging part made with string and straws.

When light hits the colored cellophane, it sparkles beautifully.

It’s very easy to make, so it’s perfect for craft activities for seniors.

Halloween monster balloon

Halloween Monster Balloon 🎃 #origami #shorts #Halloween

Halloween, a major event in autumn, features a variety of characters centered around ghosts.

Let’s create those Halloween characters by adding designs to origami balloons.

Since all the origami pieces share the same cube shape, your choice of colors and how you draw the designs are key.

While including classic motifs like jack-o’-lanterns and mummies, try coming up with your own monsters as well.

It could also be fun to incorporate not only monsters from overseas but Japanese yokai, too.

bouquet

How to Make an Origami Bouquet ♥ Cosmos ♥ 432 Hz Just Intonation BGM ♥ Digest Version ♥ How to Make Paper Flowers (Origami Cosmos)

This is a three-dimensional cosmos bouquet made by combining parts such as cosmos flowers, leaves, and wrapping.

Each part is created by cutting origami paper with scissors, and by layering, gluing, and angling the pieces, you achieve a 3D effect.

If you’re worried that simply gluing the pieces won’t provide enough strength when bundling them into a bouquet, threading a string through the center will make each flower sturdier.

Once the flower parts are finished, fold a sheet of paper into an accordion (screen-like) shape to use as the wrapping, assemble everything together, and add decorations like a ribbon to complete the bouquet.

Choosing your own color combinations to add originality is also recommended.

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.
