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

sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)

Introducing how to make a paper flower camellia sasanqua with origami! You can hang it on the wall as an autumn decoration. How about decorating a facility or your home with it? [Tsukurumon]

This is a decoration themed around sasanqua camellias, which bloom beautifully from late autumn to early winter.

It’s simple to make: just combine cut origami pieces for petals, branches, stamens, and pistils.

If you pay attention to layering the parts, you can create a three-dimensional sasanqua.

If the color on the back side shows, it reduces the realism, so it’s important to curve each piece well and reveal only the front.

Assembling the flowers within a frame made from thinly rolled origami makes the piece sturdy and easy to display in various places, so it’s highly recommended.

Autumn trees in yarn

Just wrap yarn around leaf and tree shapes • Seasonal wall decorations • Easy to make • Cute ❤︎ Yarn craft for kids ❤︎ #578

In Japan, with its four seasons, you can enjoy many kinds of trees—cherry blossoms in spring and colorful maples in autumn.

Since we’re decorating a November wall, let’s fill a usually plain wall with autumn by making “autumn trees with yarn and cardboard”! Cut cardboard into tree shapes.

If older adults can’t use a utility knife, please get help just for this step.

You can leave the tree trunks as they are, but for an extra touch, glue on wrapping paper or foreign newspaper; it really makes them pop.

Wrap brown and yellow yarn around the foliage areas.

Add acorns or accents like squirrels, and you’re done.

Line up a bunch of them to make an even bigger impact.

Acorns made with hemp twine

(100-yen shop) Autumn decorations – easy and cute! How to make acorns [DIY] Easy and cute! Acorn

On sunny days, it’s nice to head out to the suburbs with everyone and go hiking.

Collecting acorns and chinquapin nuts is fun, too.

For seniors who can’t easily go out, why not enjoy making “nuts” with jute twine and cotton balls? All you need are cotton balls and jute twine—both should be available at large 100-yen shops.

If not, try a craft store.

It’s simple to make: twist and glue the jute twine in a spiral to form the cap of the nut, then just fit a cotton ball into it.

It’s funny how just adding a cap makes it look like a real nut.

Make a bunch and decorate your walls at home for a cheerful touch!

dragonfly

Dragonflies ~crafts of dragonflies~ (with templates) (September, autumn) (easy craft) (wall decoration) (senior recreational activity) (creative occupational therapy) (preschool/early education) (origami)

Dragonflies, which also appear in the children’s song “Akatonbo,” evoke the feeling of autumn, don’t they? Making cozy dragonfly wall decorations that bring back childhood memories is also recommended as a recreational activity in senior homes and other elder-care facilities.

Once you’ve mastered making simple dragonflies using orange or pink origami paper, try customizing the wings with lace paper or English-language newsprint—the impression changes completely.

Be sure to explore other variations together, too!

chestnut

Chestnuts and Burrs – Crafts (with templates) (October–November, autumn) (wall decorations) (senior recreation/day services) (creative OT) (easy) (paper crafts) (scissors & origami) (preschool/educational)

A wall decoration using chestnuts—also popular as an autumn delicacy—is easy to make with brown A4 paper, so it’s a great recommendation.

Once you can craft a simple chestnut, try making the spiky burr as well; it takes a bit more detailed work, but it instantly elevates the finished look.

Create two burr pieces and arrange them to wrap around the chestnut for a three-dimensional design.

Also, display it together with chrysanthemum leaves or fallen leaves to bring out the autumn atmosphere even more—be sure to try those kinds of arrangements too!

Cosmos wreath

[Origami / Paper Flowers] How to Make a Cosmos Wreath / [Paper Flower Wreath] How to Make Cosmos

Cosmos bloom from late July and can be enjoyed until mid-November, making them a perfect match for autumn wall decorations.

One especially recommended method is to draw petal patterns with a pen on pink origami paper and arrange them on a wreath made from A4 paper—it’s easy to make and looks very festive.

In addition to pink, mixing in autumnal colors like brown or yellow will enhance the appearance even more.

You can buy “warm-colored construction paper” at 100-yen shops, so try using that to easily enjoy different color arrangements!

Speaking of November, you can find lots of acorns on the ground when you go to parks and other places.

Many of us probably picked them up as children and played by making balancing toys or spinning tops.

Let’s incorporate those acorns as a motif for a November calendar.

Here we’re featuring acorns made with origami.

Because they’re flat, all you need to do is stick them onto the calendar’s design area.

Make them with origami in various colors and try expressing a vibrant autumn scene.
