[For Seniors] Fall Wall Decoration Ideas

Autumn hanging ornaments

How to Make Autumn Hanging Decorations with Origami and Paper Plates (with Audio Commentary) [Tsukurumon]

How about making a hanging decoration of maple leaves that sway and twirl beautifully? Fold origami a few times and, using a paper-cutting technique, create autumn leaves like maple and ginkgo.

Making the maples in various colors—red, yellow, and orange—will give a lovely finish.

Adding creases to the ginkgo and fallen leaves adds depth and makes their swaying motion more delightful.

Cut a painted paper plate into a spiral, then glue on the leaves and maples you made.

The way it twirls and swings is colorful and fun—you’ll never get tired of watching it.

Autumn wall decorations and hanging ornaments

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to make grapes 🍇 Stylish autumn wall and hanging decorations | DIY How to make paper grapes, muscat.

Let’s make loops out of construction paper or origami in grape-like colors and combine them to create a three-dimensional bunch of grapes.

It’s a simple, repetitive process of linking loops, so it’s easy to do while still giving fingers a good workout.

Using not just single loops but multiple consecutive loops lined up conveys the look of a richly fruited bunch.

Also, instead of sticking to the same purple, using a variety of colors will create a gradient that enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Autumn leaves and a full moon seen from the window

Making autumn decorations: Moon-Viewing (for a care facility)

This is a wall decoration that recreates a moonlit night glimpsed through a shoji-opened window, depicting a charmingly Japanese scene.

Prepare a large sheet of navy-toned paper and cut a circular opening for the window.

On slightly less than half of the cut-out circle, paste white paper patterned with a lattice to represent the shoji.

In the remaining space, attach motifs like the moon, clouds, and autumn leaves.

Once the window portion is complete, finish by adding rounded tissue-paper “tsukimi dango” around it and pampas grass with yarn tips to suggest the plumes.

It’s also recommended to work together with seniors on rounding the tissue paper and attaching the yarn.

A maple scenery with a window

Introducing how to make an autumn maple leaf wall decoration using origami and paper cords! Why not try creating it on the walls of facilities during the fall foliage season in October and November? [Tsukuru-mon]

This decoration uses origami and paper cords to depict an autumn foliage scene as seen through a round window.

Using paper gives the whole piece a soft feel, and it also creates a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of windows in a traditional inn or restaurant.

The steps are simple: first, use bundled, thickened paper cords to make the circular window frame and lattice.

Next, cut origami to create maple trees and leaves, and arrange them on the wall.

Finally, paste the window frame you made at the beginning over the foliage to complete the piece.

The key is how you attach each part—adhere only part of each piece so the rest lifts slightly off the surface, which enhances the soft look.

Highly recommended.

Three-Dimensional Cosmos

I tried making 3D cosmos origami #shorts

This is a three-dimensional cosmos flower that you complete by repeatedly folding it down small, using the creases radiating in eight directions from the center as guides.

The process involves stacking triangles to match the number of petals, and as you crease the tips of the triangles, you also form the center of the cosmos.

Precise, crisp refolds are crucial, so pay close attention to the creases and fold accurately.

Along the way, gently twist and open the paper to shape the flower, giving it a soft, rounded form.
