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

An autumn wreath made with 100-yen materials

(100-yen shop) DIY autumn paper decoration: How to make a fallen-leaf wreath | How to make a wreath of fallen leaves

Do you often go to 100-yen shops? They’re usually decorated well in advance for the seasons and holidays, and it really makes you feel how quickly the seasons change.

Using items you can get at a 100-yen shop, let’s make an “autumn wreath” and enjoy fall even more.

For the wreath base, you can use real wood, or you can shape brown wire into a ring.

Then, attach maple and ginkgo leaves made from felt or colored paper to complete the wreath.

You can also use real natural materials like nuts, acorns, and spiky chestnut burrs.

Hang them on the wall, and it could be fun to vote for your favorite wreaths and even rank them.

Wall decoration made with fallen leaves

[Autumn Craft] Easy! Fallen Leaves Wall Decoration♪

A wall decoration that features fallen leaves and is easy to make—just by laminating.

Arrange the leaves you’ve collected on a laminating pouch in a layout you like, then close it.

Carefully run it through the laminator so the leaves don’t shift, and once it cools, decorate the edges with masking tape like a frame to finish! It also looks lovely displayed in a picture frame as is.

You can laminate in the same way, then cut around the leaf shapes, punch a hole, and thread a string to make small ornaments or bookmarks.

After enjoying a leaf-collecting walk, be sure to give it a try.

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!

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.

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!
