Ideas for autumn wall decorations (51–60)
Acorns with crayons and stickers
Here’s a fun acorn craft you can tackle using your creativity with crayons and stickers.
First, cut and paste construction paper to make the acorn.
If you create the cap and the body separately and layer them, it will add a three-dimensional feel.
Then, decorate the acorn with stickers and add facial features made from construction paper.
It’s interesting because you can work while thinking, “What kind of face should I make?” or “How can I make it look cute?” Everyone’s will turn out differently, so sharing them afterward will likely be a lot of fun.
Rolling Acorn
How about enjoying a craft activity with children that makes the most of acorns, one of autumn’s natural treasures? In fall, kids have more chances to pick up acorns outdoors.
Paint the acorns in any colors you like and roll them around on construction paper—they’ll transform into wonderful art! Then cut the paper into leaf shapes and stick origami acorns on top to complete a piece that’s full of autumn vibes.
It’s also a great idea to decorate with the colorful fallen leaves you actually collected.
It’ll make a wall display brimming with both the children’s individuality and the essence of autumn.
Three-dimensional grapes made with sticker pasting
This is a 3D grape craft made by sticking round-cut origami pieces onto a long, narrow strip of construction paper.
Put double-sided tape on the back of the cut-out origami circles, and have the children peel and stick them.
Once the origami pieces are attached, wrap the strip around a triangular piece of construction paper in a spiral.
Finally, add a pipe-cleaner stem and paper leaves to finish.
You can also use stickers instead of origami, of course.
Let the children choose their favorite patterns.
It’s a perfect idea for an autumn wall decoration.
Bagworm made with a toilet paper roll core
Would you like to make three-dimensional bagworms using toilet paper rolls? First, prepare construction paper in various colors and have the children tear it into pieces.
Once you have enough pieces, glue them onto the toilet paper rolls.
Let some pieces stick out a little to make the bagworms look more authentic.
After the glue dries, draw the eyes and mouth to create your original bagworms.
When displaying them, hang them on a string for a cute exhibit that gently sways.

Cosmos flowers with toilet paper rolls and finger stamping
How about using toilet paper rolls and the children’s fingers as stamps to create cute cosmos flowers? First, make several cuts in a toilet paper roll and bend the cut sections outward.
Dip it in paint and stamp it onto drawing paper—cosmos petals will appear! Then use finger stamping to fill in the empty center, and your cosmos is complete.
Afterwards, use pens or crayons to draw the stem and leaves where you made the flower.
If the teacher makes the cuts in the toilet paper rolls beforehand, the activity will go more smoothly.
Chestnuts made with a toilet paper roll stamp
If you do stamping with a toilet paper roll core, you can create the spiky burr of a chestnut.
First, make evenly spaced, thin cuts about two-thirds of the way down the roll.
Spread the cut sections outward to form a stamp with a built-in handle.
Next, dip it in yellow paint and stamp onto drawing paper.
Layering orange or red looks beautiful, too.
Finally, paste a paper chestnut in the center—and you’re done! It’s recommended to draw a face on the chestnut for an extra cute finish.
Colorful Ghosts with Finger Painting
How about making colorful ghosts with finger painting? Finger painting is a technique where you paint using your fingers or hands.
This time, though, we’ll do it a bit differently: you’ll paint by touching the paint and paper through a food storage bag.
That way your hands won’t get messy.
Once you’ve roughly created a ghost silhouette, add eyes and a mouth at the end.
The impression changes depending on where you place them! For example, placing them close together can make it look like a full-body ghost, while spacing them farther apart can make it look like a close-up of the face.
