Papercut Art: Moon-Viewing Rabbit

[Kirie] How to Make Moon-Viewing Rabbits 🌙 Adorable bunnies pounding mochi on the harvest moon 🐇 Easy to make with just scissors ♪ [With voice instructions] / Let’s start paper-cutting!

Here’s a paper-cutting idea of a moon with the silhouette of a rabbit pounding mochi.

It seems useful for wall decorations, autumn crafts, and many other settings.

The method is simple: fold a sheet of yellow origami paper in half, draw the rabbit and the moon with lines, and cut them out with scissors.

If you have trouble drawing a perfect circle for the moon, fold the paper twice and draw one quarter at a time.

Also, since freehand drawing the rabbit can be tricky, it may help to draw guide lines beforehand; for older adults, it might be better to have them trace over those lines with a pen.

origami red spider lily

Kimie Gangi: Super Easy Spider Lily Craft (Includes QR Code, QOL Services Publishing) #RedSpiderLily #PaperCraft #SeniorActivities #DIY #AutumnFlowers #AutumnWallDecor

Let’s make origami red spider lilies, which bloom around the autumn equinox in September.

Combine several sheets of origami paper with long, thin slits cut into them, and curl each strip using a pencil or another thin stick.

For the center of the flower, it’s best to use tissue paper crumpled into a small ball.

Put these parts together, add a long, rolled strip of green paper for the stem, and you’re done! You can turn it into a three-dimensional wall decoration, or arrange the flowers in a bottle like a vase.

Enjoy this seasonal, precious flower and feel the arrival of autumn.

Autumn Foliage Mobile

[Autumn Craft] Easy ♪ How to Make a Fall Foliage Mobile [Ashitaba Channel]

September is the time when we start longing for the red-tinted autumn leaves.

Let’s make a mobile with a foliage motif, hoping to see them soon! Cut origami or construction paper into shapes like maple leaves, ginkgo leaves, and other leaf forms, then thread them onto strings to finish.

If you want a slightly three-dimensional look, layer 3–4 pieces of paper cut into the same shape.

Using autumn colors like red and yellow for the mobile’s strings will enhance the fall atmosphere.

Place it near a window and enjoy the approaching autumn as you feel the autumn breeze.

Cosmos made of paper tape

Making cosmos with paper tape · Autumn wall decor · Easy because it's paper tape · Can be made beautifully · Wall decoration · Cosmos ❤︎ DIY/tutorial/How to make cosmos/paper tape ❤︎ #680

What often concerns people when making cosmos flowers is that there are so many intricate steps: finely cutting the petal shapes, and dealing with leaves and stems that have lots of thin lines—very detailed work.

But this method for making cosmos is very simple! For the petals, use paper tape and just cut the tips all at once with pinking shears.

For the stems and leaves, simply cut and twist green pipe cleaners, so even those who aren’t good at delicate tasks can give it a try.

With this method, you can make lots of them—an entire wall covered in cosmos isn’t just a dream!

dragonfly

[Wall Decorations] No Draft Needed! How to Make a Dragonfly!

Seeing dragonflies flying makes you feel that summer is ending and autumn is arriving, doesn’t it? Dragonflies are a fairly simple motif, so they’re great for fall wall decoration ideas.

All you need to do is cut construction paper—no need for a sketch, it’s easy to make.

Cut out the dragonfly’s body, wings, and facial parts like the eyes and mouth separately.

Since it’s freehand cutting, a little unevenness adds a nice handmade touch! You could also customize it, like using red construction paper for the wings if you’re making a red dragonfly.

This is also recommended for recreational activities at senior care facilities.
