[For Seniors] Fall Wall Decoration Ideas (21–30)
Halloween witch girl

Perfect for Halloween! Let’s make a decoration of a little witch.
Cut out the face, body, hat, and broom parts from construction paper and glue them together.
You can download free templates, so use those to finish it up.
If you change the hat decorations or hairstyle, you can express different kinds of witches.
When displaying it on a wall, decorating it together with a moon, a witch’s house, or ghosts will make it an even lovelier Halloween decoration.
Coming up with your own variations is part of the fun of this craft time.
Swirling Paper Ghost

The idea of having the ghost’s bottom part as a spiral is really cute.
First, draw a picture of the ghost on white paper.
Think of a snail as your reference—the idea is to draw a snail but make its face a ghost’s face.
Once you’re done, cut away the unnecessary parts around it with scissors, and carefully cut out the spiral section.
Punch a hole in the ghost’s head and hang it with string; the cut spiral will drop downward in a circular shape, making a very striking decoration.
Attach it to a stick and it becomes a portable item too!
Halloween wreath

Chic wreaths are a staple of stylish cafés and salons.
Seeing seasonal wreaths that are just a step ahead of the calendar can often be soothing, right? Why not try making one with a Halloween twist? You could simply draw Halloween characters on paper, cut them out, and paste them on, but here we’ll make everything three-dimensional! We’ll weave the spiderweb with yarn, and create the pumpkin heads using a mechanism like opening a miniature book inside out.
You can even use real dried branches and leaves.
Try incorporating small lights from a 100-yen shop, too!
Paper core bat

These bats are incredibly handy when decorating a room with a Halloween vibe.
Make plenty of them and they’ll look like a swarm, boosting the spookiness.
First, cut a toilet paper roll in half—leave it as is if you want a bigger bat—and cover it with black paper.
It’s a good idea to line the inside with black paper too.
For the wings, use cellophane or plastic and craft the shape.
Make the eyes a vivid yellow or gold to contrast with the black! If you decorate with fluorescent paint, they’ll glow in the dark.
These bats will spark all kinds of creative ideas!
Grape wall hanging decoration

When there’s a grape craft displayed indoors, some older adults may think, “Ah, autumn has arrived.” Here’s an easy grape wall decoration you can make with familiar materials.
Take a small rectangular piece of tissue paper for flowers and wrap a small balled-up piece of tissue inside so it forms a round shape.
Use colors that evoke grapes, like blue or purple.
Connect the crumpled tissue pieces to create a grape cluster.
Assemble paper straws to make a hanging base and attach the grapes.
Make leaves and a stem as well, and stick them on to complete the piece.
You can make it using only items from a 100-yen shop, so please use this as a reference and give it a try.
3D grapes

Let’s make one of autumn’s flavors—grapes—out of origami.
Use a compass or similar tool to cut out round shapes from origami paper.
After making several circles, apply glue and layer them.
The key is to fold each piece of origami paper in half, then attach each half to a different circular piece, one by one.
This creates a spherical shape out of origami.
Connect the spheres together, and they will look like a bunch of grapes.
Using origami paper with dots or patterns can add a cute accent.
Older adults may also enjoy feeling the season of autumn through this grape craft.
dragonfly ornament

When it comes to autumn scenery, many people probably imagine a scene at dusk with dragonflies darting about.
This activity shows you how to make dragonflies—an essential element of that autumn landscape—using disposable chopsticks and washi origami.
First, wrap hemp twine around a cut piece of chopstick to create the dragonfly’s body.
Next, attach coiled twine pieces as the eyes, and form a loop from origami paper; shape it and attach it in the position of the wings to complete the whole piece.
Choose your colors and shapes to bring out your own originality.
