Grapes made with torn newspaper (collage)

[Newspaper Collage] I tried making grapes. [newspaper-collage art]

Let’s make a grape collage using torn paper (chigiri-e).

Chigiri-e uses your fingertips a lot, so it can be effective for fine motor training.

It also helps stimulate the brain.

Through detailed work, it is said to improve concentration as well.

Cut out photos or illustrations from newspapers that match your grape design.

To prepare the parts you’ll tear, trace the shapes on the newspaper with a brush moistened with water.

This makes it easier to tear along the shape you want to use.

Then, create the grapes on a backing sheet using the torn newspaper pieces to complete your work.

It’s also great for making calendars.

Cosmos flowers on the autumn plateau

Autumn Highland Cosmos: Easy-to-make paper flowers with origami, explained with audio

The cosmos, with its colorful round blossoms, is a delicate flower.

Seeing them bloom in autumn fields and flower beds makes you feel the arrival of fall, doesn’t it? Older adults, too, may sense the changing seasons when they see cosmos and other autumn plants.

Here, we introduce a cosmos-themed craft that captures that seasonal feeling.

First fold origami paper, then cut it into the shape of a cosmos.

Use your fingers to gently curve the petals so they look rounded.

You can also make petals with tissue paper, and add leaves to the cosmos to finish.

If you make lots of cosmos and stick them on paper or on the wall, it will feel like you’ve come to a highland where cosmos are in full bloom.

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.

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.

A wreath of vividly colored cosmos flowers

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos (Autumn Cherry Blossom) Wreath

Here is an introduction to making a cosmos wreath with origami.

Cosmos petals are long and slender, right? We’ll make petals in that shape using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper to create crease lines, then fold it into the shape of a cosmos.

Some of the folding steps are a bit complex, so older adults or others may find parts challenging.

Please have people nearby help out during the craft.

Once you’ve folded the cosmos flowers, glue them together to form a wreath.

Since the cosmos ends up shaped like a medal, it would also make a lovely gift as a medal-style decoration.
