Grapes made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi: Decorating the autumn wall with a “Fluffy Giant Grape Trellis.” #SeptemberWallDecor #OctoberWallDecor #Grapes #PaperFlowers #Easy #Kindergarten #Daycare #ElderlyCare #DIY

Let’s make a big bunch of grapes using soft tissue paper! The steps are simple, so it should be a fun autumn craft activity for a day service.

First, stack sheets of tissue paper that have been cut in half and fold them in an accordion.

Cut the folded stack into two, staple the center, and carefully open it up.

Make several of these tissue paper pieces, then glue them together in the shape of grapes to complete the fruit.

You can also cut branches, tendrils, and leaves from construction paper to decorate—so charming! If you make it with a large group, you can even take on a bigger project like a wall display.

Origami apple

[Origami] Easy Apple 🍎 How to Make an Apple #apple #ringo #ringoKanji #apple (English) #सेब #manzana #蘋果 #사과 #Apple #HowToFold #origami #paperfolding #tsuribami #jongijeopgi #craft

This is an origami piece inspired by apples that become more delicious from autumn to winter.

The branch and leaf parts attached at the end add a cute touch.

The simple steps fold along four-section creases as a guide, and the key is to reduce corners and create roundness.

Keeping symmetry in mind and folding both sides the same way leads to a beautifully rounded overall shape.

It’s also recommended to make the branch and leaf parts deliberately sharp, as that will emphasize the roundness of the main body.

Making autumn leaves

Day service Habiro. Making autumn foliage (crafts).

When you think of autumn, you think of fall foliage—the leaves turning red and yellow—and the beautiful season of falling leaves.

Let’s make and enjoy our own autumn leaves.

Just cut white paper into leaf shapes and color them any way you like.

Try painting each one bright red, yellow, or with more nuanced shades, and create lots of different leaves.

Wall decoration: maple leaves

[Craft Idea] Japanese Maple (with template) (October/November, Autumn) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Activities) (Childcare/Early Learning) (Creative OT in Psychiatry/Daycare) (DIY) (Easy Origami)

Since Japan is a country rich in the four seasons, it’s fun to make monthly wall decorations.

Autumn in particular isn’t too hot or too cold and is comfortable, so you may feel more creative than usual! For November, the classic choice is, of course, maple leaves.

If you’re going to make them, it might be fun to break the stereotype that “maple leaves are brown or yellow” and use a variety of colors.

Paper maple leaves are easy: just fold a square sheet of paper into a fan shape and snip the tip into a jagged edge.

And if you gather with seniors, they may know all kinds of folding techniques.

Be sure to keep three-dimensionality in mind as you create them.

persimmon tree

[Craft Idea] Kaki—Persimmon Tree—Crafts of Persimmons (Oct/Nov) (Autumn) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation/Day Service) (Childcare) (Educational) (Creative OT) (Easy) (Papercraft) (Preschool) (DIY)

When it comes to the flavors of autumn, persimmons are surely one of them, aren’t they? Let’s make one using orange-colored origami paper that perfectly matches the image of a persimmon and some copy paper.

Crumple the copy paper into a ball, then wrap it with the equally crumpled colored paper.

It’s a simple method, but you’ll end up with a piece that looks like a perfectly ripe persimmon.

Try making the calyx with origami to attach to the persimmon, too.

Adding a leaf will make your persimmon craft even more charming.

Since there are no steps that involve folding intricate origami, it’s a project that many older adults can enjoy.

Grape decorations made with toilet paper rolls and tissue paper

[Elderly Recreation] Grape Decorations [Autumn Craft]

Did toilet paper cores suddenly break out in popularity on the flea market app Mercari? The fact that toilet paper cores are being bought and sold on Mercari was picked up by online news and became a big topic.

Even now, many toilet paper cores are being listed, but some people are raising concerns about hygiene.

Maybe it’s okay if they’re toilet paper rolls we used ourselves.

Let’s slice toilet paper cores into rings and make a lovely grape decoration.

If you color them green, they can even look like Shine Muscat grapes!
