Grape wreath made with chirimen fabric

Craft Art: Fragrance of Autumn Grape Wreath ~with how-to instructions

Here’s how to make a grape wreath using chirimen fabric and covered buttons.

Cut the chirimen fabric into circles.

Place the rounded side of a covered button in the center of a fabric circle and secure it with glue as if wrapping it.

Once wrapped, press in the remaining part of the covered button with the metal side facing up.

This completes a grape berry.

Attach the grape berries to a backing sheet to form a bunch of grapes.

Decorate the wreath base with paper grape leaves and the grape bunches.

The texture of chirimen fabric adds warmth to the piece.

It’s a craft that older adults are likely to enjoy as a lovely grape-themed project.

Grape wall hanging decoration

Let's make a wall hanging decoration of grapes.🍇

When there’s a grape craft displayed indoors, some older adults may think, “Ah, autumn has arrived.” Here’s an easy grape wall decoration you can make with familiar materials.

Take a small rectangular piece of tissue paper for flowers and wrap a small balled-up piece of tissue inside so it forms a round shape.

Use colors that evoke grapes, like blue or purple.

Connect the crumpled tissue pieces to create a grape cluster.

Assemble paper straws to make a hanging base and attach the grapes.

Make leaves and a stem as well, and stick them on to complete the piece.

You can make it using only items from a 100-yen shop, so please use this as a reference and give it a try.

Wreath of dragonflies and cosmos flowers

A wreath of dragonflies and cosmos ✨ #preschoolcrafts #autumncrafts

Cosmos flowers are one of the symbols of autumn, aren’t they? You might also have chances to see dragonflies gliding smoothly through the autumn sky.

Let’s make a wreath with cosmos and dragonflies as motifs to capture that autumn feeling.

We’ll give the dragonfly wings and cosmos petals a gradient effect.

Scribble with several colors of water-based pens on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.

Place the paper for the dragonfly wings and cosmos petals on top to transfer the colors onto the paper.

The soft, delicate gradient—hard to achieve with a brush—looks beautiful.

For the wreath base, using a paper plate with the center cut out makes it easy.

Attach the dragonflies and cosmos to the wreath to finish.

This autumn craft should help older adults feel the season as well.

Add the paper-made stamens to finish.

Noren Cosmos made with tissue paper

✄ [Flower Paper] Easy! String Curtain Made with Tissue Paper - Cosmos

Let me introduce a noren-style cosmos decoration made from tissue paper that will brighten up your room.

Prepare tissue paper, paper straws, string, and a tension rod, and let’s get started.

Fold and cut the tissue paper to create petal pieces.

By adding curves or cutting jagged edges, you can make more three-dimensional flowers.

Hang the string on the tension rod, then attach the petals and stamen parts to the string.

Form small loops in the string and thread the petals through as you go.

It’s also important to adjust the shapes so the petals don’t overlap.

Torn-paper collage: Moon-viewing rabbit

Handmade calendar created with torn-paper collageSmall-scale multifunctional in-home care#Habikino CityCare service providerRecreationCalendar#Chigiri-eStaff recruitment

Original Song – WHITEBOX [official] – WHITEBOX [official]

Otsukimi (moon-viewing) is one of Japan’s long-standing traditions.

So, let’s make a moon-viewing scene with a rabbit for the September calendar using torn-paper collage.

Because you use your fingertips to tear and paste the paper onto a backing sheet, this kind of collage can also serve as brain training.

The September moon-viewing is known as Jūgoya or the Harvest Moon and is held on the full moon around September 15.

It became cherished as an autumn harvest festival, and because people offered taro as a prayer for a good harvest, it came to be called Imomeigetsu (“Taro Moon”).

Many older adults may also be very familiar with September’s moon-viewing.

Try making it while chatting about Otsukimi.

Cosmos and Dragonflies

It varies by variety, but cosmos flowers are at their best around September.

You’ve probably seen fields covered in colorful cosmos, haven’t you? Cosmos is a seasonal word for autumn in haiku, and it also has a commemorative day in September.

Incorporating cosmos— which evoke autumn and September— into a calendar can help older adults feel the season as well.

Cut origami or construction paper into cosmos shapes and paste them onto the calendar backing.

If you also make dragonflies, a quintessential autumn insect, and display them together, you’ll create a piece that conveys an even stronger autumn atmosphere.
