[For Seniors] Let’s Make It Together! Wonderful November Wall Decoration Ideas

Autumn leaves and ginkgo

Maple and Ginkgo Origami: Introducing a Slightly Unusual Leaf Shape! Perfect for Autumn Decorations in September and October! [Tsukuru Mon]

Here’s an idea for making 3D maple leaves using accordion-folded origami.

First fold the paper into a triangle, then accordion-fold the triangle.

Open it up, fold in half, and cut it into a triangle shape.

For the other pieces, cut them into triangles as well, reducing one or two folds each time so they gradually get smaller.

Fold each piece firmly into a triangle, fold in half, and glue—this creates a maple leaf shape! Try combining large and small pieces and pasting them together.

You can use the same accordion-fold method to make ginkgo leaves, too—perfect for autumn crafts or wall decorations.

Autumn foliage wall decoration

Introducing how to make a paper maple leaf wall decoration! Why not handcraft an autumn decoration for October and November using construction paper and origami? [Tsukuru-mon]

If you’re thinking of making a decoration with a Japanese aesthetic, how about creating a wall hanging featuring maple leaves and the moon? Using origami or colored paper, you’ll build an autumn scene on a backing sheet.

Unlike ordinary paper collages, this piece incorporates three-dimensional maple leaves and a single strip of paper twirling above the base, evoking the breeze of an autumn night.

The maple leaves may seem difficult, but you only need to fold and cut them to shape.

Try varying the sizes and coloring them vibrantly with yellow, red, and even still-green leaves.

Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi’s September wall display: “Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper.”

If you want to make a soft, warm-looking wall decoration, tissue paper is perfect.

Among the options, making cosmos flowers with purple tissue paper adds an autumn vibe.

The method is very simple, and you only use scissors once.

That makes it ideal for crafting with small children.

When you give it a try, make lots of cosmos.

If you display them on the wall so they overlap, it will turn out beautifully.

Please use this as a reference!

Pocky

[Easy Origami] How to fold Pocky – let’s eat it on November 11! [Easy Origami] How to make cute MIKADO Pepero origami 折纸 Pocky DIY #shorts

November 11 is celebrated as “Pocky Day,” with various campaigns held.

Here’s a decoration inspired by Pocky—an essential for November.

The steps are very simple: first, layer origami papers in colors close to the chocolate-coated part and the handle (biscuit) part of a Pocky stick, then cut them into thin strips.

Fold the cut strips into narrow thirds, glue them, and open them into a tube shape to finish.

Its simple look makes it easy to incorporate as a decoration piece.

origami chestnut burr

[Craft Idea] Chestnut in its burr (November, autumn) (wall decoration) (senior recreation, occupational therapy OT, day service, childcare) (creative 3D craft) (origami) (origami DIY papercraft)

Let’s recreate chestnuts that bear fruit in the deepening autumn—complete with their spiky burrs—using origami.

Fold an origami sheet, cut it into thin strips, then cut those strips into triangles to make individual spikes and glue them onto a circular base.

Shape the spiked base by pressing down the center so it forms a shallow nest that can hold objects; that completes the burr.

For the chestnut itself, cover a crumpled ball of paper with two shades of brown origami paper.

Make firm wrinkles in the paper to create an uneven, three-dimensional texture—that’s the key to making it look realistic.

With fine cuts and paper-crumpling motions, it’s a craft where fingertip dexterity really matters, isn’t it?

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)

When you think of autumn, many people probably picture beautifully colored trees and the red and orange leaves of Japanese maples.

How about making lots of maple leaves and turning them into a wall decoration? For the leaves, cut a sheet of origami paper in half, trim off the tip to create a jagged, leaf-like edge, and then accordion-fold it.

Staple or tape the base to make a stem, and your maple leaf is complete.

Mix red, orange, yellow, and even green or blue leaves to create a wall filled with the colors of autumn.

chrysanthemum flower

[Craft Idea] Owl made with paper cups – Crafts of Owls (November/Autumn) (Senior recreation) (Childcare/Educational) (Craft) (Wall decoration) (Easy) (Seasonal) (paper cup)

An owl wall decoration made from paper cups is highly recommended because it lets you make good use of surplus cups that piled up when visitors decreased during the pandemic.

By the way, using brown paper bags you get from cafés makes the finish look more authentic! Cups of about 400–500 ml work well.

Then just get a glue stick, wrap paper around the cup, add the facial features, and you’re done.

For an even cuter look, make a separate little tree-branch ornament and display the owl as if it’s perched on it—definitely give that variation a try!
