[For Seniors] Let’s make it together! Wonderful ideas for November wall decorations (41–50)
Grape decoration
Autumn is the season when a variety of vegetables and fruits are harvested.
Among autumn fruits, let’s make a classic grape decoration using origami.
It’s a simple project: just attach grape berries, a stem, and leaves to a triangular folded base.
If you crumple the paper to make textured berries or use different colors of origami for the berries, it will look more realistic—highly recommended.
Besides using it as a regular decoration, you could also attach a string and turn it into a hanging ornament.
Wreath of maple and ginkgo leaves
Let’s fold maple and ginkgo leaves with origami and make a wreath! Both the maple and the ginkgo use the same base up to a certain point, and then the folding steps differ, so it’s a good idea to prepare that basic form first.
The folds for both are a bit intricate—some involve offset folding—so they may feel challenging, but take your time and fold the details carefully.
Make three of each leaf, connect them together into a ring, and your wreath is complete.
Try making it with origami paper in your favorite colors!
Maple Leaf Wreath
Let’s make a wreath using colored origami that evokes autumn maple leaves! Fold maple leaves from origami in colors like orange and brown.
Use the same folding method for all of them, and make enough pieces to form a wreath.
The assembly is simple—just connect the folded maple leaves into a ring.
This should make it easier for many older adults to participate.
Origami involves moving your fingers while thinking through the steps, so it can be a good brain-training activity.
The finished “Maple Leaf Wreath” can be displayed on a facility wall or taken home, which also provides a sense of accomplishment.
Origami apple
This is an origami piece inspired by apples that become more delicious from autumn to winter.
The branch and leaf parts attached at the end add a cute touch.
The simple steps fold along four-section creases as a guide, and the key is to reduce corners and create roundness.
Keeping symmetry in mind and folding both sides the same way leads to a beautifully rounded overall shape.
It’s also recommended to make the branch and leaf parts deliberately sharp, as that will emphasize the roundness of the main body.
Cosmos and Red Dragonfly
How about a wall decoration featuring cosmos flowers and red dragonflies that evokes the feeling of autumn? Seasonal decorations can brighten the mood of older adults as well! The cosmos flowers are made from strips of colored origami or construction paper, with the centers crafted from packing twine.
The red dragonflies are also made by combining strips of colored paper.
If cutting paper into strips feels like a hassle, using paper tape is a great time-saver! Mix and match cosmos in various colors with red dragonflies to create a lovely wall display.
Cyclamen wall decoration
Cyclamen, which bloom during the chilly November–December season, are perfect for a November craft.
Not only do their flame-like, upward-facing blossoms captivate, but their vivid colors—red, white, pink, and purple—are also beautiful and a delight to the eye.
By making not just the petals but also the sepals, stems, and leaves, you can achieve a realistic look that’s instantly striking and eye-catching.
The steps don’t involve any complicated folds, but because there’s some delicate cutting and gluing, it’s a project you’ll want to tackle with focus and care.
Owl and autumn leaves
This is a wall decoration that combines a cute owl with vibrant autumn leaves.
It feels festive yet calm by pairing it with an owl standing quietly at night.
Just cut a base in the shape of an owl, crumple small pieces of tissue paper, and glue them on.
You can make the autumn-colored leaves with tissue paper too.
You could create several owls to make a family, or use a blue background with a moon to evoke the night sky.
It’s also a great idea for an autumn craft activity at a day-service center, so have fun making it!
