[Day Service] Craft Ideas for Seniors to Make in October

Grape decoration made with paper cores

[Elderly Recreation] Grape Decorations [Autumn Craft]

We will introduce a cute, three-dimensional grape decoration made using a toilet paper roll core.

Prepare scissors, craft scissors, a toilet paper roll core, tissue paper (flower paper), origami paper, glue, and a ruler.

Cut the toilet paper roll and create the base for the grapes.

Prepare 1–2 sheets of tissue paper, and the key point is to shape one side into a rounded form by puffing it out inside the toilet paper roll core.

Using the same method, make six grape berries.

Apply glue to the sides of the grapes and attach them together to form a grape cluster.

Twist brown tissue paper to make the stem, and attach the leaves you cut with the craft scissors.

Your grape decoration is complete.

hanging Halloween decorations

[Halloween Decorations] Achieve this 3D look using only construction paper 🥰 #shorts #childcare #parenting #childrearing

Here’s a hanging pumpkin decoration I recommend for anyone who wants to make a three-dimensional Halloween ornament.

Prepare one sheet of orange construction paper and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide.

Gather the strips together and punch holes at the top and bottom.

Thread them onto a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) with one end bent so it won’t slip off.

Twist the pipe cleaner at the point where the paper forms a half-circle, then fan the strips out and shape them into a pumpkin.

The pipe cleaner will be the vine, so curl it into spirals.

Attach facial features made from black construction paper, tie a thread to hang it, and you’re done!

Here’s a Halloween letter garland that will instantly boost the festive vibe when you hang it in your room! Both the garland base and the letter pieces are made entirely from origami paper.

First, fold the top and both side edges of the base origami 2 cm inward.

Make a slit in the center of the bottom edge, then open it outward to align with the bottom corners to form the garland shape.

For the letters, cut another sheet of origami into four strips.

Fold the two long edges toward the center line, then shape them into letters.

Once you’ve made all the letters for “HAPPY HALLOWEEN,” attach them to the base one by one, string the garland on a cord, and hang it up!

Swirling Paper Ghost

[Preschool Crafts] Perfect for Halloween decorations! Swirly ghosts made from construction paper | Wrapping ghosts in construction paper

The idea of having the ghost’s bottom part as a spiral is really cute.

First, draw a picture of the ghost on white paper.

Think of a snail as your reference—the idea is to draw a snail but make its face a ghost’s face.

Once you’re done, cut away the unnecessary parts around it with scissors, and carefully cut out the spiral section.

Punch a hole in the ghost’s head and hang it with string; the cut spiral will drop downward in a circular shape, making a very striking decoration.

Attach it to a stick and it becomes a portable item too!
