November, the season when autumn deepens and the autumn leaves are beautiful.

How about fully enjoying November with crafts for seniors that capture the spirit of fall?

This time, we’re introducing delightful ideas for November wall decorations geared toward older adults.

We’ve gathered many creations that evoke November, such as maple leaves, cyclamen, and dragonflies.

The projects range from simple steps to slightly more complex ones, offering a rich variety so seniors can enjoy crafts suited to their abilities.

These are also recommended for seniors who may feel less connected to the seasons or who find it difficult to go outside.

Through making wall decorations, we hope everyone can savor the deepening autumn of November.

Origami chrysanthemum

[Craft Idea] Chrysanthemum Flower Craft (Autumn, November) (Wall Decoration Craft) (Senior Recreation/Day Service) (Early Childhood Education) (Psychiatric OT Creative Activity) (Easy/Origami) (Flower) (Accordion Fold)

Origami chrysanthemum

Let’s recreate the beautiful, finely layered petals of a chrysanthemum using origami.

The key is the narrow accordion folding, which also helps train precise finger movements.

After folding the paper into an accordion, trim both ends into rounded shapes to suggest petals, fold the strip in half, and glue it—prepare two of these.

Connect them and fan them out into a circle to complete the flower.

For added color gradation and depth, stack two tiers of different sizes, and adding leaves is also recommended.

Origami Fallen Leaves

[Origami] The easiest-to-understand way to fold a fallen leaf ☆ with folding diagram | origami Leaf

Origami Fallen Leaves

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when the leaves on the trees turn brilliant colors, and even the scenery after they fall is beautiful, isn’t it? Let’s recreate those beautifully colored leaves with origami.

Fold the paper into a triangle, then add creases to suggest the leaf veins.

The key is to fold along the line that will become the center of the leaf and make the creases there.

Finally, shape it to give it a gentle roundness, trim the edges, and open it up to reveal your finished leaf.

Make leaves in a variety of colors to capture the full feeling of autumn foliage.

Origami Maple Leaf Wreath

For autumn decorations! Origami maple leaf wreath ☆ Autumn origami maple wreath

Origami Maple Leaf Wreath

This is a simple decoration made by combining origami maple leaves into a ring and gluing them together.

The key point is using a folding method that creates a slit where the leaves can interlock.

You’ll need six maple leaves to complete the ring, and I think it looks more beautiful if you alternate the colors.

Consider color combinations and balance, and try making a ring with maple leaves in various colors.

To make it easier to display, you can reinforce the back by layering paper, and I also recommend adding extra maple leaf pieces on the front to enhance the three-dimensional effect.

pine cone

When you go outside for a walk in autumn, you sometimes see pinecones on the ground, don’t you? Whether you often go out or don’t get the chance to go out much, let’s make a pinecone wall decoration so you can feel this autumn scenery up close.

Use brown-toned construction paper and cut out pinecone shapes.

If you vary the colors for the scales, it will make them more colorful.

You can stick them directly onto the wall, or hang them like a garland—both are recommended.

Let’s bring the autumn landscape from outdoors into your space.

Matsutake mushroom origami

[Origami] How to Fold Autumn Delicacy “Matsutake Mushroom”

Matsutake mushroom origami

Let’s recreate the matsutake mushroom—an iconic flavor of Japan’s autumn—using origami.

A key point is to use both sides of the paper to clearly show the color difference between the cap and the stem, while shaping the overall form with a gentle roundness.

Once the piece is neatly folded, it’s also a good idea to draw patterns to make it look even more like a matsutake.

Try imagining a seasonal scene where matsutake are arranged—such as a circular layout inspired by a woven basket—so the mushrooms feel naturally grouped and evocative of the season.
