Grapes made with an origami heart
We’d like to introduce a calendar made with heart-shaped grape origami.
Autumn brings many harvests and everything tastes especially delicious, doesn’t it? It’s said that the peak shipping season for grapes generally starts around September.
A grape-themed calendar, one of the flavors of autumn, would help older adults feel the seasonal atmosphere.
Since the grapes are made from origami folded into heart shapes, some seniors might enjoy the cute style.
When making the grape vines, try wrapping vine-colored origami around a toothpick.
Add leaves and attach them to the grapes to create a piece that looks like real grapes.
grapes
Grapes, an autumn delicacy, have a particularly striking appearance among fruits, don’t they? Grapes are also a classic subject for torn-paper collage, so why not give it a try? You create each grape by tearing pieces of washi paper, ads, or other paper, but it’s okay if they don’t tear into perfect circles.
A variety of large and small grapes is great, and using just one color is fine too.
Grapes probably don’t even need an initial sketch, so they make a casual, easy motif for activities like day-service recreational programs.
Grape wall decoration
For cute character decorations with a grape motif, pay attention to the choice of base colors and the placement of the facial features.
If the grape motif isn’t clear from the outline alone, adding shadows to the grapes can create a sense of depth and make it more recognizable.
Also, creating bases in different colors and arranging them together can effectively convey a bountiful autumn harvest and a lively atmosphere.
For the backgrounds where each character will be placed, choose bright colors like green so that the grape purple stands out.
Grape decoration
Would you like to make a grape craft together? Using origami or colored paper, you can create grapes that look just like the real thing.
Using your fingertips also helps maintain memory and concentration.
If you make realistic leaves and branches as well, it will have an even more authentic finish.
It’s also fun to choose your favorite colors and design your own original bunch of grapes.
Display your completed piece to create a lovely space full of autumn atmosphere.
Let’s enjoy chatting together and spend a memorable time.
Grapes & Cherries
These are soft, rounded parts shaped by gently forming a square sheet of origami.
Arrange small purple circles in a triangle to make grapes, or attach a stem to red circles to make cherries.
The key is a soft appearance—don’t press the creases too hard; fold gently to add a raised, three-dimensional look.
When making grapes, the arrangement and layering also matter; changing the order you place them helps create a sense of volume.
Combining various colors instead of using just one can also produce depth through color gradation.
Making grapes with construction paper
Here’s an idea for making paper grapes that’s perfect for decorating the walls of senior care facilities.
They’re very easy to make! Cut construction paper into long, thin strips, curl them up using a pen, and glue them onto a piece of cardboard cut into a triangle.
Make the grape stem and leaves from construction paper in the same way and attach them to create realistic-looking grapes.
Also, instead of using a single color of paper, try mixing colors like blue, light blue, purple, and lavender to give the grapes a more realistic appearance.
Simple and cute way to fold a grape (origami)
A cute cluster of grapes made by combining origami pieces—the layered paper creates a nice sense of depth.
Make parts using folds that give the berries roundness and depth, then combine them to form the whole cluster.
The shape and three-dimensionality will change depending on how you assemble them, so try a variety of patterns.
Finish by attaching the stem and leaf pieces.
It could also be fun to make the berry pieces in different colors on purpose to see how the impression changes.
