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

Autumn Foliage Mobile

[Autumn Craft] Easy ♪ How to Make a Fall Foliage Mobile [Ashitaba Channel]

As autumn deepens, savoring the beauty of the fall foliage is one of life’s pleasures.

In addition to going out to enjoy the leaves, crafting at home is also recommended.

In particular, making a mobile with a fall leaves motif is great for older adults.

Hang origami maple leaves with yarn to create a gentle sway.

Layering three or four leaves to make a three-dimensional effect is a fun touch, too.

Why not hang your handmade mobile by the window and spend an elegant moment with the autumn breeze? You can feel the mood of the season from each leaf you touch.

roasted sweet potato

Sweet Potato Craft, Part 2: Roasting Sweet Potatoes over a Bonfire (November/Autumn) (Easy Craft) (Senior Recreation) (Wall Decorations) (Creative Activity) (Childcare)

These days, quite a few large supermarkets have a roasted sweet potato machine permanently set up near the entrance.

It’s nice that we can enjoy roasted sweet potatoes all year round, but they’re still a quintessential sign of autumn.

So why not recreate a scene of sweet potatoes roasting—using paper? Use purple paper for the sweet potatoes, brown for fallen leaves, and white for smoke, and arrange each piece.

If you make the sweet potatoes three-dimensional, the flat paper-craft scene will instantly come to life.

You can add a maple tree nearby or place a dozing cat—the room for creativity is endless.

Enjoy the season with an autumn-inspired wall display!

Cyclamen

#23 Winter calls for winter flowers! [Cyclamen Torn-Paper Collage] #NewspaperTornPaperArt #Cyclamen

Cyclamen brighten up the garden even in winter, when there are few flowers.

Their striking look, with blooms clustered at the center, is quite impactful, isn’t it? Let’s try expressing cyclamen with torn-paper collage.

Start by making the leaves; if you add a few small cuts, those parts will look like veins and make the leaves more realistic—give it a try.

You don’t have to create the entire plant; even a partial composition can turn out beautifully! Of course, if you have the time, you can take on a larger project, such as designing a potted cyclamen.

Squirrel and acorn

[Craft Idea] Squirrels and Acorns (October/November Autumn) (Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors, Occupational Therapy/OT, Daycare, Early Childhood Education) (Origami) (DIY) (Creative)

Introducing a warm autumn wall display featuring squirrels.

Use a template to make the base squirrel shape and cut it out.

Then color the squirrel with colored pencils—choose the colors you imagine; that’s our recommendation.

The key point is to crumple paper into balls, cut leaves with zigzag scissors, and use them to create the squirrel’s tail.

Use glue to adjust the spacing of the leaves as you assemble.

Add acorns as you like, and it’s complete.

It’s a craft that lets you feel the season while you create the wall display, so give it a try!

Three-dimensional chrysanthemum flower

Autumn wall decoration made with colored construction paper — November “Chrysanthemum”

What do you think is the flower with the most varieties in the world? The answer is the rose.

There are said to be roughly 20,000 varieties, and enthusiasts all over the world.

So what about the flower with the most varieties in Japan? That would be the chrysanthemum.

Because it’s often used as a funeral offering, some people might think, “Is it bad luck to hang it on the wall?” But how about enjoying some bright, three-dimensional chrysanthemums as decorations here? You can make them by folding a single sheet of paper like origami without cutting, or by layering cut paper.

Divide the tasks between seniors who can use craft knives or scissors and those who can’t, and have fun making chrysanthemums together.

It’s also fun to use colors that don’t exist in reality, like blue or gold.

Chitose Ame (longevity candy)

Shichi-Go-San is a major November event celebrating children’s growth, isn’t it? Many of us have experienced it from different perspectives—our own childhood, accompanying our children, or taking our grandchildren to the shrine.

Speaking of Shichi-Go-San, one essential element is chitose-ame, whose charm also lies in its packaging adorned with auspicious designs.

Just placing lucky motifs such as cranes, turtles, and the pine-bamboo-plum trio around the “Chitose-ame” lettering instantly evokes the scene of Shichi-Go-San.

You could try recreating existing packages, or it might be fun to design your own auspicious chitose-ame bag and incorporate it into your decorations.

Apple tree, persimmon tree

[Senior Recreation] Apple Tree, Persimmon Tree [Autumn Craft] Apple tree and persimmon tree

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season of hearty appetites, with plenty of fruits in season.

How about creating a wall-wide display of a large tree laden with persimmons and apples? Make rings from milk cartons, use them as a base, and gently wrap red tissue paper around them, tucking any excess paper inside.

Shape it into a soft half-sphere, then add a stem and leaves to finish.

By changing the tissue paper color and adjusting the stem shape, you can make persimmons the same way.

Create a tree on the wall and attach the apples and persimmons to it.

It might even make you crave a bite of those fruits!
