Origami paper chain

[Easy Origami] Paper Ring Chains
Origami paper chain

Let’s brighten up the venue with a classic wall decoration: paper chain garlands! Cut origami paper into long strips, make them into loops, and connect them in a chain.

You’ve probably seen these at birthday parties.

They’re so simple to make that you can whip some up in your spare moments.

You can go all out and hang tons of them, or get creative by using the chains as lines to draw motifs like “flowers” or “the sun.” Choosing patterned paper will add even more personality!

Hanging ornaments

[Craft Idea] New Year hanging decorations ~ Yakko kite ~ Hanging decorations for the New Year (January) (wall decorations, senior recreation, occupational therapy, day service, crafts) (early childhood education) (origami crane) (DIY, origami)
Hanging ornaments

How about a hanging decoration themed on the yakko-san and the paper crane—both classic origami figures everyone has folded at least once? Nostalgic origami is great for recreational activities with seniors! Many people have folded yakko kites and cranes before, so let’s enjoy making them together while reminiscing about those memories.

Adding faces to the yakko kite, or including elements like fans, silk cocoons, or plum blossoms will take it up a notch!

cosmos

Let’s make cosmos flowers, a symbol of autumn, using origami.

One of the defining features of cosmos is that they bloom in a variety of colors like pink and purple, so it’s a great idea to use multiple colors and create a cosmos field.

The key is to fold the origami in two layers to form the petals; by shaping this part carefully, you’ll end up with a three-dimensional cosmos.

Soft creases can enhance the beauty, but they also make the shape more prone to collapsing, so it might be a good idea to glue the overlapping sections in place.
