[For Senior Care Facilities] Feel the Autumn! Collection of Maple Leaf Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Maple leaves and a five-storied pagoda
It’s a decoration that conveys a sense of expansive scenery, with a five-story pagoda faintly visible beyond the beautiful autumn leaves.
Placing three-dimensional autumn leaves in front of the flat pagoda is an important point for expressing depth.
While the pagoda is a simple piece made just by cutting construction paper, take care with how you make the leaves.
Fold origami paper accordion-style, make cuts with scissors, secure the base, and gently fan it open to complete the autumn leaves.
Even though such colorful leaves don’t exist in reality, arranging them side by side creates a scene that’s likely to feel fun and delightful.
Colorful maple leaves
Why not try expressing the beauty of maple leaves turning red and yellow on a wall display? It will instantly brighten up the walls in your home or in facilities used by seniors! Use yellow, orange, and red construction paper for the maple leaves, and brown for the branches.
It’s easy to make—just cut the construction paper using free downloadable templates—so it’s a project that seniors can try as well.
Making lots of maple leaves in different sizes adds volume.
When decorating a wall, arranging the leaves in random directions can help create a natural look.
It can be a piece of art! Maple leaf wall decoration
This decoration combines drawing paper and origami, featuring a soft look and striking, layered three-dimensionality.
You use a sheet of drawing paper with a lattice of cuts as the base, then layer maple leaf pieces on top.
By considering the base’s uneven surface as you add the pieces, you can effectively create depth and a realistic sense of dimension in the foliage.
It may also be important to choose a background color that highlights the maple leaf colors.
A rod and string are attached to the top of the base, making it easy to hang and display in a variety of locations.
Persimmons and maple leaves
Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that combines persimmons and autumn leaves—classic symbols of fall flavors.
The key is to create a sense of depth, which can make even a plain wall look vibrant and colorful.
Because there are many steps that use fine motor skills—like cutting and pasting origami paper and crumpling it up—this is a great project for large groups in day-service craft activities.
Adding firm creases to the maple leaves and persimmon leaves easily gives them a three-dimensional look, so be sure to give it a try.
Maple and ginkgo hanging ornaments
November is the height of autumn—delicious food, perfect weather for getting active.
And of course, when you think of autumn flowers and plants, you think of maple leaves.
Let’s make a “maple and ginkgo hanging decoration” and turn the hallway or lounge walls into a full display of fall! You’ll need orange paper tape and colored paper (yellow and brown) to make the maple leaves.
Simply attach the maple and ginkgo leaves you’ve crafted as you like onto a length of paper tape, and you’re done.
Twist the paper tape or branch it out to create a natural look.
It’s easier than you might think.
Adding a real maple leaf as an accent is a nice touch, too.
Paper cutouts of maple leaves
If you want to enjoy an easy touch of autumn in a day-service craft activity, how about making maple leaves by cutting origami paper? It’s a simple process—stack and fold the paper, then cut with scissors—so it should be easy for older adults to take part.
Once everyone gets used to each step, you can work together to make lots in various colors and decorate the walls beautifully! You can also arrange them as stylish memo paper, cards, or wreath decorations, so please enjoy them in whatever way you like.
