[For Seniors] August Wall Decoration Idea Collection

Fireworks on a scratchboard

[Craft Idea] Fireworks with Scratchboards (August, Summer) (Wall Decorations) (Elderly Recreation/OT/Daycare/Childcare) (Night View) (With Templates)

Scratchboards reveal the white base or various colors when you scrape away the black surface.

Let’s use a scratchboard to create fireworks, a classic symbol of summer.

If you use a scratchboard with a multicolored base, the result will be beautiful.

Each time you scrape, different colors appear, making the process enjoyable.

Because you scrape with tools like bamboo pens, there’s little risk of injury, so older adults can participate safely.

In addition to fireworks, try creating cityscapes with beautiful night views.

With a lovely wall display of fireworks, older adults are sure to feel the spirit of summer.

uchiwa (Japanese hand fan)

[Origami Summer] Easy and cute way to fold a uchiwa fan – perfect decoration for July and August! / fukuoriroom

Why not make “uchiwa” fans—a hallmark of summer—out of origami to brighten up your calendar? Using cute patterned origami or layering summer-themed designs like morning glories and goldfish will give your fan a stylish finish.

Drawing summery motifs such as goldfish or fireworks also creates a cool, refreshing look.

Even just scattering and pasting them onto an existing calendar will complete a summer scene full of seasonal charm.

Since it’s easy to make, it’s also recommended as a recreational activity at senior care facilities.

Give it a try!

yukata (summer cotton kimono)

Let’s make a yukata and an obi out of origami—perfect for July festivals.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper to make the yukata.

Make firm creases as you fold.

The key is to puff it out slightly as you fold so the top and bottom of the yukata connect smoothly.

Carefully make each crease one at a time.

For the obi, men should fold a long, narrow strip of origami paper as if tying it; women should fold it into a ribbon shape.

Adjust the proportions of the yukata and obi as you craft them.

Using patterned origami paper is recommended for a summery look.

soft serve ice cream

[Summer Origami] How to fold a soft-serve ice cream with voice narration ☆ Origami Ice Cream — Decorations for July and August

Perfect for summer, let’s fold a soft-serve ice cream with origami.

After folding the paper in half, fold the bottom right and bottom left corners inward to meet at the center.

Next, fold the bottom point up to align with the top point, then fold so that the center crease lines up with the right crease.

While looking at the center crease, shape the ice cream by forming creases that create the ice shape.

When shaping the ice cream, it works well to fold it as if making a spiral.

Finally, draw a pattern on the cone with a felt-tip pen to finish.
