Ideas you can use for autumn wall decorations (11–20)
Two types of Mushichan only for infants and toddlers
Here are two fun bagworm craft ideas using twisted tissue paper and paper tape loops.
First, cut a square piece of tissue paper and round off one side with scissors.
Gently twist the side you didn’t cut, and glue it onto a base for the bagworm made from construction paper.
Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make a colorful “mino” (the bag).
Attach a face made from construction paper to finish.
For the paper tape version, cut the tape to a suitable length, glue one end to the base, then overlap the other end to form a loop and secure it.
Cover the whole body in rows, and finish it the same way by adding the face.
Cute, freshly baked sweet potato
Let’s fold an autumn treat—sweet potatoes—using a single sheet of origami paper.
As you fold, be sure to make crisp creases.
By freely adjusting the angles, each person’s sweet potato will have its own unique shape, making it even more fun when you finish.
For the white areas, it’s recommended to add color using crayons or paint.
Fold in the corners to give your sweet potato a plump, rounded shape.
It could be fun to display them on an autumn-themed wall, or put them in a basket or bag and use them for pretend shopping play.
Cute little squirrel!
A squirrel you can make from a single sheet of origami—also great for November wall displays—is a perfect craft for preschoolers.
Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold up the left and right sides to form a cup shape.
After folding down the tip of the paper, create the squirrel’s belly.
For the tail, make horizontal snips into the flappy triangular part of the paper.
Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Draw the face to finish.
To give the tail a fluffy look, you might curl it with a ballpoint pen to add some movement.
Realistic fallen leaves you can make with origami!
Red, yellow, green, brown… Autumn begins with colorful foliage and is a season to enjoy leaves in many shades.
So why not make fallen leaves with origami, too? They’re great for wall decorations and a handy idea to remember.
To prepare, fold the origami paper in half top to bottom to make a rectangle, place it with the fold at the bottom, then crease diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner and cut along the crease with scissors.
You’ll use the remaining triangular piece of origami paper.
Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the base to halve it, then repeat this same fold three more times.
Next, unfold the paper and refold it in an accordion (zigzag) pattern.
Fold the origami in half, bringing the left and right sides together, glue the inner layers, adjust the shape, and you’re done.
Let’s make a bagworm wreath!
https://www.tiktok.com/@levwell_hoikushi/video/7553510974704209173Let’s make a wreath with a swinging bagworm! Cut out the center of a paper plate so only the rim remains, spread glue on it, and stick on crumpled tissue paper from the top.
For the bagworm, cut colored construction paper into parts and assemble them by gluing.
While real cocoons are usually brown, since this is a decoration, it’s fun to finish it colorfully by adding round stickers.
You can draw the face with a pen or use round stickers for it.
Attach twine to the bagworm and hang it in the center of the paper plate, and your cute wreath is complete.

After enjoying free drawing with markers on a coffee filter, turning it into a bleeding/absorption painting is a fun craft idea.
Once you’ve made the bleeding effect, let the coffee filter dry and cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.
Attach them with double-sided tape to the base of a mino (a straw raincoat) made from construction paper.
Then stick on the face and hat, also made from construction paper.
Finally, draw the face with a pen or crayon, and it’s complete! The patterns and marker colors create unique variations in each mino, which is really fun.

A bagworm papercraft made with an envelope
Let me share an idea for making a bagworm using a brown envelope.
Cut off the top of the envelope with scissors, then fold the top left and right corners to the back.
Stick on eyes made by layering white and black round stickers, and then decorate the body with colored paper or yarn to represent the case.
Tear the colored paper into small pieces beforehand, and cut the yarn into suitable lengths.
Finally, tape a piece of jute string to the back of the envelope, and it’s done.
In addition to colored paper and yarn, you could also glue on leaves or small twigs you collected on a walk for a cute touch.
