[For Seniors] Enjoy Autumn with Grape Crafts! Ideas Using Paper, Origami, and Everyday Materials

Grapes that look real

[Origami] Rune-kun and Usami-chan Have Fun Making Juice with Grape Origami! [Elementary School]

Let’s fold an origami grape cluster with its signature purple color! Prepare seven purple origami sheets measuring 17.5 cm by 17.5 cm and one green sheet measuring 15 cm by 15 cm.

Fold the paper twice into a square and twice into a triangle, then unfold.

Following the creases, tuck it into a triangular shape and fold it like you would an origami balloon to make each grape.

Finally, inflate it slightly like a balloon to finish one piece.

Make seven of the same piece and glue them together in the shape of a grape cluster.

Repeating the same process can help prevent dementia and provides good stimulation for the brain.

Lastly, use the green paper to make a vine and leaves, attach them, and you’re done.

Have fun creating while imagining autumn fruits!

Grapes made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi: Decorating the autumn wall with a “Fluffy Giant Grape Trellis.” #SeptemberWallDecor #OctoberWallDecor #Grapes #PaperFlowers #Easy #Kindergarten #Daycare #ElderlyCare #DIY

Let’s make a big bunch of grapes using soft tissue paper! The steps are simple, so it should be a fun autumn craft activity for a day service.

First, stack sheets of tissue paper that have been cut in half and fold them in an accordion.

Cut the folded stack into two, staple the center, and carefully open it up.

Make several of these tissue paper pieces, then glue them together in the shape of grapes to complete the fruit.

You can also cut branches, tendrils, and leaves from construction paper to decorate—so charming! If you make it with a large group, you can even take on a bigger project like a wall display.

grape clip

[Craft Activity] [Dollar Store DIY] Easy! Grape Clip [Summer Craft] [Craft Vlog] Shrimp popping out!?

These stylish grape-themed clips use 100-yen store bead stickers and ribbons.

They’re great for craft activities at day-service centers, and the practical clips will be useful at home even after the craft is done.

Make loops from four ribbons of different lengths, stick them together with double-sided tape, and decorate with bead stickers.

Glue the ribbons onto a wooden clothespin, then place a ribbon shaped like a leaf at the very top to finish.

You can arrange them with various ribbon colors and materials to create a chic, cute piece for adults.

Grape craft using plastic bags

Grape crafts using plastic bags! Crafts of Grapes ~Using a plastic bag~ (with template) (September/Autumn) (activities for seniors/day service) (wall decoration) (easy) (creative OT) (early childhood education) DIY

Cut a plastic bag into a triangle, and use it to form a bunch of grapes as if the bag were filled with the fruit.

Packing the bag to create a three-dimensional look—and doing it without glue—makes it a quick and easy project.

After filling in the “grapes,” seal the edges of the bag, wrap the top with brown origami paper to create the stem, and you’re done.

The key is the triangular shape of the plastic bag; when cutting, imagine how it will expand once filled.

You can use the same color for all the grapes to create a cohesive look, or mix different colors at random to enhance the three-dimensional effect with a color gradient.

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.

Grape decorations made from paper

Grape decoration made of paper (with audio commentary) How to make a grape paper decoration

Let’s create a three-dimensional bunch of grapes with round, plump berries by combining construction paper and tissue paper.

Twist brown construction paper to make the stem branch, then attach the berries and leaves to it.

For the berries, crumple tissue paper into a ball, wrap it with colored tissue paper, and secure the end tightly with a rubber band.

Next, attach the excess tissue paper on the opposite side of the berry to the stem using glue.

Encourage careful attention to fine motor movements through actions like twisting the stem and rolling the tissue paper into round shapes.

Grapes made with toilet paper rolls

[Nursery Craft] Grape Craft: How to Make a 3D Version with Origami!

It’s a three-dimensional craft that looks like grapes placed on a plate.

Cut construction paper into a circle to represent a plate, then arrange circular rings made from cut toilet paper rolls into the shape of a grape cluster.

Stuff the circular rings with origami paper in grape colors, and finally attach a stem-shaped piece of construction paper to finish.

Be mindful of how you arrange the rings and choose color combinations that resemble grapes, such as purple and green.

The motion of crumpling the origami paper by hand also helps strengthen fine motor skills.
