[For Seniors] Recommended Wall Decoration Ideas for September (11–20)
silver grass
When you spot Japanese pampas grass by the roadside, it really makes you feel that autumn has fully arrived, doesn’t it? How about using this classic symbol of fall as an idea for a wall decoration? All you need to do is cut colored construction paper, so anyone can make it easily! Use green or light green for the grass, brown for the stems, and several shades like yellow and amber for the plumes to create a dynamic design.
It’s also perfect for the Harvest Moon and moon-viewing season, so give it a try for inspiration.
Chinese bellflower
Kikyo (balloon flower), one of the seven flowers of autumn, is familiar as a seasonal symbol that blooms with elegant bluish-purple blossoms.
How about using kikyo flowers as a wall decoration idea? It’s super easy to make—just download the free template and print it directly onto colored high-quality paper.
With templates for the flowers and leaves, cutting is a breeze! You can create a three-dimensional look by adding folds to the petals.
Using two or more shades of purple instead of just one will make the wall even more vibrant.
It’s very easy to make, so it’s great for crafting with your grandchildren and is also recommended for recreational activities in senior facilities.
rice plant
Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when rice ears ripen! The sight of rice heads bending low is also a symbol of Japan’s rural landscape.
How about making handmade autumn wall decorations featuring rice? You can easily try it with just two colors of construction paper: yellow-green and orange.
Since you’ll need to cut many small pieces for the rice heads, take your time and stick with it! If you’re decorating a wall, make plenty and stick them up to create a realistic countryside scene.
Making them together as a recreation activity in a senior facility will give everyone a sense of accomplishment, so please give it a try.
sports day
Speaking of autumn, many people probably have fond memories of having fun and competing at school sports festivals.
This is a wall decoration themed around such a sports day.
There are many classic events at a sports festival, so even just deciding which one to feature sounds like fun.
If you choose events that use props—like the ball-toss game—the content of the event is easy to understand, and the result will look bright and festive.
Also, when it comes to sports day decorations, the sight of various national flags strung up is a staple, so recreating that will make the display even more colorful.
It would be nice to create a cheerful atmosphere that lets you look back on those memories from the time.
3D grapes
Let’s make one of autumn’s flavors—grapes—out of origami.
Use a compass or similar tool to cut out round shapes from origami paper.
After making several circles, apply glue and layer them.
The key is to fold each piece of origami paper in half, then attach each half to a different circular piece, one by one.
This creates a spherical shape out of origami.
Connect the spheres together, and they will look like a bunch of grapes.
Using origami paper with dots or patterns can add a cute accent.
Older adults may also enjoy feeling the season of autumn through this grape craft.
want to
Sea bream, known as “Momijidai,” comes into season not only in spring but also in autumn.
Let’s enjoy the flavors of the autumn sea by making this delicious autumn sea bream into a wall decoration.
Once you cut out the shape of a sea bream from construction paper, you can cut patterns from paper in different colors and paste them on, or draw scales and other patterns with paint or pens to complete the look—easy! Because sea bream symbolizes good fortune, it’s also popular for New Year’s.
So after using it as a wall decoration in September, be sure to reuse it for New Year’s displays as well.

bell cricket
As summer ends, you can hear the chirping of bell crickets from seemingly nowhere.
For Japanese people, their song is a seasonal tradition that evokes the arrival of autumn.
It’s also a great motif for anyone planning autumn wall decorations.
Cut out origami pieces for the wings, body, face, and legs.
If you roll the body into a cylinder, you’ll create a three-dimensional bell cricket—give it a try.
Changing the facial expressions and wing colors makes for a fun result! It’s perfect to make with your grandchildren, and also recommended for recreational activities in senior care facilities.
