Leveraging my experience working as a care worker at a day service, I am currently active as a writer in the caregiving and welfare fields. Beyond writing, I hope to expand my work into web design and illustration. I am a mother of three who has begun studying to become a certified social worker.

Let us introduce autumn wall decorations that let you enjoy the changing seasons.

Especially around Halloween, you’ll want to create a fun atmosphere in facilities like day services.

Using familiar materials such as origami paper, felt, and construction paper, there are many easy projects like jack-o’-lanterns and bats that even older adults can enjoy making.

Carefully crafting each piece not only provides a good chance to use fine motor skills, but also allows everyone to chat and work together.

How about making some lovely wall decorations together—perfect for creating autumn memories?

This is a Halloween pumpkin decoration made using a milk carton.

Cut the body of the milk carton into long, narrow strips, form them into rings, and use them as a frame, then wrap the frame with tissue paper.

Make three of these and glue them together to complete the pumpkin body.

After that, tear colored paper to make the eyes and mouth, and add a vine and leaves to finish.

There are many hands-on steps, such as using scissors and wrapping the milk-carton frame with tissue paper, but none are too complicated—just the right level of activity—so I think everyone can enjoy making it together.

[Wall Decoration] How to Make a 3D Halloween Pumpkin!

Jack-o'-lantern

Here’s a recommended Jack-o’-lantern wall decoration for the Halloween season in October.

It’s perfect for anyone thinking about adding a seasonal touch to their home, as well as for the walls of senior care facilities! By layering multiple pumpkin-shaped pieces of colored construction paper, you can create a three-dimensional pumpkin that brightens up a plain wall.

Make lots of them for extra volume, or use different colors to bring out the fun of Halloween! If you create them together during recreational activities at a senior facility, it will boost the Halloween spirit even more.
