Introducing ideas for September wall displays and autumn-themed room decorations (1–10)
Autumn wreath
With the arrival of autumn, how about making a wreath filled with fall motifs? Cut cardboard, thick paper, or a paper plate into a ring, then attach acorns, pinecones, fallen leaves, and other autumn-inspired pieces.
For leaf shapes, use the half-fold technique: draw a template on origami or wrapping paper folded in half and cut along the line to create a clean, symmetrical shape.
After getting into the autumn spirit by crafting your wreath, why not head to a park to collect real fallen leaves and acorns?
Grapes made with paper chain loops
Wall decorations tend to end up looking repetitive.
The main reason is, after all, that they’re usually flat.
In that regard, these grapes made from paper chains really pop on a wall thanks to their three-dimensional form.
The key is the curled, rounded grape berries, which bring out curves that are hard to express with paper otherwise.
This makes them a great choice when you want to add an accent to wall art.
They’re also easy to make, so try adapting the idea for other fruit decorations as well.
Moon-viewing art with stamps and footprints
For both children and seniors, September is synonymous with moon-viewing, isn’t it? This wall display art is perfect for September: “Moon-Viewing Art with Cotton Swabs and Footprints.” As you can see from the photos, this piece blends real photographs with construction-paper art.
Even a flat artwork instantly becomes more striking when you incorporate real photos, so it’s highly recommended.
Like in the example, a rear-view photo works well, and a front-facing photo would be great too.

Colorful 3D dragonfly
If you want to decorate your wall art in a vibrant way, three-dimensional shapes are a must.
This “Colorful 3D Dragonfly” is one of the simpler pieces among 3D wall art.
The highlight of this work is, above all, how easy it is to create a three-dimensional structure using straws.
Forming 3D shapes with paper can be quite challenging, but in this piece, the only three-dimensional elements are made from straws, making it easier even for those who aren’t very dexterous.
Give it a try!
Acorns made with sticker pasting
The themes of wall art vary greatly depending on who it’s made for.
In that sense, this “Acorn Made with Stickers” is a piece that children will enjoy.
The key to this work is, above all, the cuteness of the acorns.
The main point is how to shape the acorns to look cute, and for this part, I think the ability to stylize (deform) is important.
Using a reference photo is fine, but if you place the facial features with a stronger sense of three-dimensionality in mind, the result will be even cuter—so please keep that in mind.
Night Owl Gathering
If you want to create a cheerful atmosphere, we recommend this “Night Owl Gathering.” The key feature of this piece is using paper bags to represent the owls’ bodies.
By using paper bags, it achieves both a cute look and a three-dimensional effect.
As shown in the photo, it could also be nice to make the perch string three-dimensional.
However, that will increase the difficulty, so be sure to carry out each step carefully when making it.
Families with children should definitely give it a try.
Bagworm made from scrap materials
Most of the wall art introduced this time requires gathering a fair amount of materials.
It’s not extremely difficult, but it’s not exactly easy either, so it might feel a bit troublesome to try at home.
For those people, I recommend this “Bagworm Made from Scrap Materials.” As the name suggests, it’s a wall decoration made using old newspapers, flyers, and other unwanted paper, so it’s very easy to make.
Another nice point is that using scrap materials gives it more character than using clean construction paper.
