Cosmos Plate Artwork Made with Tissue-Paper Collage
How about making cosmos flowers out of tissue paper and decorating a paper plate to create a cosmos picture plate? Fold the tissue paper into thirds, then fold a corner into a triangle to make a square.
Fold that up and cut out petal shapes—this lets you make three cosmos flowers at once.
Use your preferred colors of tissue paper, such as red, pink, or white.
Brush a layer of glue thinned with water onto the paper plate, then arrange the cosmos on top.
Brush more glue over the flowers to set them in place.
If you also decorate the rim of the paper plate with tissue paper in colors you like, let it dry thoroughly and you’re done.
Chinese lantern decoration
Hozuki (Chinese lantern plants) have long been familiar to Japanese people, from the Hozuki Market to enjoying them as potted plants or dried flowers.
The way the calyx wraps the fruit and turns a bright orange is utterly charming and evokes the arrival of autumn, doesn’t it? This decoration is themed on hozuki, which many older adults also recognize.
With simple steps, you can make adorable hozuki, so consider incorporating it into autumn craft activities at day service centers! These lifelike hozuki look lovely on wall displays or shikishi boards, and they’re also beautiful arranged in a vase.
The vivid orange will instantly brighten up any room!
Cosmos wreath
Would you like to design a wreath with cosmos flowers to mark the beginning of autumn? You can easily make a wreath with origami! Create the wreath base by assembling origami parts, then decorate it with cosmos blossoms.
Despite the simple steps, you’ll end up with a vividly colorful wreath—an activity well-suited for older adults that supports cognitive engagement and stimulates creativity.
Add autumnal hues like yellow and brown to enjoy the change of seasons.
As you pour your energy into each piece, past autumn landscapes and memories may come to mind, offering a chance to spend a rich, heartwarming time.
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.
