grapes
How about making grapes—the quintessential autumn fruit—into a wall decoration? Let’s create a simple, slightly stylish grape ornament using colored construction paper! For the grape berries, cut the paper into 2 cm-wide strips, then roll them tightly around a pencil.
Using several colors like purple, light blue, and blue adds variety and makes it look more grape-like.
Once you’ve prepared a base shape, just glue the rolled pieces onto it to form the bunch.
You can make the leaves in a similar way: flatten the rolled paper halfway, stack a few together, and staple them to create chic-looking leaves.
This wall decoration is also great for recreational activities in senior care facilities!
fragrant olive
Osmanthus fragrans, with its distinctive fragrance, heralds the arrival of autumn.
Its bright orange color really catches the eye, making it perfect for autumn wall decorations! If you have colored construction paper, it’s easy to make, so it’s great for recreational activities at senior centers or for crafting with your grandchildren.
Because the osmanthus flowers are small, using a larger flower as a base and layering small flowers on top creates better balance and enhances the overall design.
When decorating a wall, making and attaching several of them gives a more luxurious, abundant look.
red spider lily
How about using delicate, ethereal red spider lilies that evoke the arrival of autumn as a fall wall decoration? The three-dimensional, artful finish makes it perfect for anyone who wants to brighten up the walls of their home or a senior care facility.
Since the flower parts require detailed cutting with scissors, it may take some patience.
If you curl the petals using the back of the scissors or a pencil, you can add a three-dimensional effect.
You can also arrange the background with red dragonflies, clouds, or a path to create an even more autumnal piece.
Please feel free to use this as a reference!
pine cone
When you go outside for a walk in autumn, you sometimes see pinecones on the ground, don’t you? Whether you often go out or don’t get the chance to go out much, let’s make a pinecone wall decoration so you can feel this autumn scenery up close.
Use brown-toned construction paper and cut out pinecone shapes.
If you vary the colors for the scales, it will make them more colorful.
You can stick them directly onto the wall, or hang them like a garland—both are recommended.
Let’s bring the autumn landscape from outdoors into your space.
persimmon
When the persimmons in the garden start to ripen, you can really feel autumn arriving, can’t you? Persimmons are such a familiar fruit and a symbol of the season.
How about using a persimmon tree as a wall decoration idea? You can easily make it by reusing milk cartons! Cut the milk cartons into long, thin strips, form them into rings, and staple them.
Wrap these rings with tissue paper to create three-dimensional persimmon fruits.
Make the calyxes and leaves out of washi or origami paper.
The persimmon fruits alone make a perfectly seasonal decoration, but if you also create a tree trunk and branches from construction paper and attach the fruits, you’ll have a high-quality persimmon tree display! It’s also recommended as a recreation activity for senior facilities, so give it a try.
rabbit
How about making a “mochi-pounding rabbit” wall decoration for the moon-viewing season? All you need to do is cut and paste colored construction paper, so anyone can make it easily! You can download templates for the small parts for free, so even if you’re not good at drawing, no problem! You could also arrange classic autumn motifs in the background, like the moon and pampas grass.
There are many ways to enjoy it—make it with your grandchildren to display at home, or create it together with friends as a recreational activity at a senior facility!
cosmos
When you think of flowers that signal the arrival of autumn, cosmos come to mind, don’t they? Written as “autumn cherry blossoms” in kanji, they’ve long been familiar as a fall flower, and since they bloom in places close to us like riverbanks and parks, you probably see them often.
How about using cosmos as a wall decoration idea? They’re easy to make by hand with colored construction paper, so it’s perfect for anyone wanting to give their home or a senior facility an autumn makeover! Using a gradient of white, pink, and purple will make it even more vibrant, so feel free to use this as inspiration.
