program fan

Having uchiwa fans at a sports day is handy for cheering and even during events.
Plus, try attaching the sports day program to the fan.
That way, older participants can easily see what event is coming next.
Even after the sports day ends, everyone can look back and see which events took place.
It can spark conversations with family once people get home, and some may enjoy reminiscing as they look it over.
If you’re going to make them, we recommend using empty milk cartons.
Cut the carton into a circle and attach construction paper.
Make two of these, place a stick between them, and glue them together.
Finally, attach the program to the front of the fan, and you’re done.
It’s easy to make, so give it a try!
Red sky at dusk

Here’s an idea for an autumn wall decoration inspired by the children’s song “Yuyake Koyake,” which is also known as an evening time signal tune.
Let’s create a wall scene that evokes the vivid red sunset and the imagery from the song’s lyrics.
You can use nonwoven fabric for the background and clouds to give a warm feel, or paint construction paper in whatever colors you like.
It would also be lovely to depict a temple, crows, and children as silhouettes, like shadow puppets.
The wall will instantly transform into an autumn atmosphere, which I think older adults will especially enjoy.
Cosmos wall art decorated with handmade stamps

Here’s an award-worthy wall decoration idea using makeup sponges! Dab paint-soaked sponges onto shoji paper.
The naturally blurred colors give it a stylish, cute look.
Once the paper is dry, fold it and cut out petal shapes with scissors.
Next, gather some yellow tissue paper and use a plastic bottle cap to create a three-dimensional flower center.
Combine the two, and you’ve got pastel-colored autumn cosmos! Make lots to fill your room and bring in the fall vibe!
Handmade pom-pom stamp moon-viewing dumplings

How about making tsukimi dango by stamping dots onto black construction paper? First, glue a sanpo offering stand and a moon, both cut from construction paper, onto the black background.
For the dango, dip a sponge wrapped in cloth into white paint and stamp the dots onto the sanpo.
That’s all there is to it, so it can be finished quickly and also works well as an autumn wall decoration.
If you add pampas grass or rabbits made from origami or construction paper, it will look even more like a moon-viewing scene.
Try different variations and enjoy this autumn craft!
Moon-viewing rabbit mobile

When it comes to moon-viewing, rabbits are an essential motif.
This is a three-dimensional hanging decoration that evokes a rabbit leaping out from the moon.
First, cut yellow construction paper into a circle, then make slits and spread them to create a moon motif.
Attach a string to the top of the moon, and glue two pieces of white construction paper cut into a rabbit shape together with the string sandwiched in between to complete the decoration.
Emphasizing the rabbit makes it easy to convey that the shape beneath it is the moon, so pay close attention to getting the rabbit’s silhouette just right.
Bellflowers and the Full Moon

Counted among the seven flowers of autumn, the balloon flower (kikyo) is one of those blossoms that evoke the season.
It often appears alongside pampas grass in moon-viewing scenes.
Fold origami, cut it into the shape of petals, and unfold it to create parts for the balloon flower.
The key is not to open it completely—use the creases to give it a three-dimensional form.
Next, attach the flower and leaf pieces to a backing sheet decorated with patterns that suggest grasses and pampas grass.
Add the moon and softly drifting clouds around it, and you’ll have a finished depiction of the full moon night sky.
Full Moon Rabbit

This is a craft project where you create the image of a rabbit emerging on a full moon using a single sheet of origami paper.
By cleverly folding to form both the moon and the rabbit at the same time, it also helps develop fine finger movements.
As you proceed while understanding which part you are folding, the enjoyment of seeing it gradually come together should increase.
Once you’ve made the round full moon and the rabbit shape, draw the rabbit’s facial expression to finish.
Since this is a craft that reproduces a set form, add originality through how you draw the expression.
