Halloween pumpkin

Understand in 30 seconds! How to make a Halloween pumpkin out of paper

Here’s a pumpkin idea made with paper quilling.

First, roll up and make the core of the pumpkin, then roll up and make the flesh in the same way.

For the flesh pieces, roll them tightly first, then loosen them and shape them so they look like magatama (comma-shaped beads).

Make seven of these and attach them evenly around the core to finish.

Wrapping paper around a toothpick is a delicate task, but it could be a good finger exercise for older adults.

Try making lots in Halloween colors like orange and purple and use them for decoration.

Halloween Garland

[Origami] Halloween Garland 🎃 Halloween Garland

Here’s how to make a Halloween garland using paper cutouts.

Prepare origami paper in your favorite colors, divide each sheet into three strips 5 cm wide, then glue the strips together end to end to make a long piece.

Accordion-fold it, then draw Halloween-themed designs like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats.

Cut along the outlines with scissors and unfold to reveal a cute garland! Since the steps are just gluing, drawing, and cutting, even older adults can complete it in a short time.

For shapes that are hard to cut with scissors, like circles, using a hole punch is convenient.

[Paper Flower] Halloween decorations made with origami

In October, there’s Halloween, an event that has taken root in Japan in recent years.

How about making paper flowers using origami to celebrate? All you need to do is accordion-fold the paper, round off the ends with scissors, stack the pieces, and glue them together—so it’s easy for seniors to try as well.

You can use any color of origami, but if you want Halloween colors, try orange, purple, and black.

Besides origami, you can also make paper flowers with tissue paper or construction paper, so feel free to choose the texture you like.

Origami Maple Leaf Wreath

For autumn decorations! Origami maple leaf wreath ☆ Autumn origami maple wreath

This is a simple decoration made by combining and gluing origami maple leaves into a ring.

The folding method that creates a gap for inserting pieces is a particularly important point.

You’ll need six leaves to complete the ring, and I think it looks more beautiful if you alternate the colors.

Consider color combinations and balance, and try making a ring with maple leaves in a variety of colors.

To make it easier to display, you can reinforce the back by layering paper, and adding maple leaf parts to the front to enhance the three-dimensional effect is also recommended.

Apple

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

How about using apples—those sweet-and-tart, charming symbols of autumn—as a wall decoration idea? You can make them by reusing milk cartons.

Cut the cartons into long, thin strips, form them into rings, and staple them to create the apple’s base.

Loosely wrap that base with tissue paper to give the apple a soft, three-dimensional look.

Make the stem and leaves with washi or origami paper, then display your apples on a tree trunk made from poster paper.

If you work together on this as a recreation activity at a senior care facility, you can create a large apple tree laden with fruit—so give it a try!
