Tree
When it comes to essential Christmas decorations, the “tree” is a must, right? It’s the main feature of Christmas decor, and many places—like senior care facilities—create large wall-mounted trees when December comes around.
There are many ways to make tree decorations, but here’s a super simple one: a tree made from origami.
Fold the origami paper into a triangle, make cuts with scissors, then open it up.
You’ll get strips that you glue one by one toward the center.
Finish by adding a star and a tree trunk, and it’s done! It’s a great idea for a small craft to take home, too.
Christmas garland made with tape
This is a Christmas garland that’s easy to make and turns out beautifully using Suzuran tape (plastic raffia).
Because the steps are simple, it’s perfect for craft recreation during the cold winter months when going out is difficult.
First, wrap the Suzuran tape around a piece of cardboard several times and cut it.
After removing the cardboard, tie the top with tape, then cut through the looped section to create the garland parts.
Combine them with glossy ribbons for an even more festive finish.
You can also incorporate Christmas colors like green and red!
Toilet paper Christmas wreath
Cut the cardboard cores of toilet paper rolls into thin strips, shape them like leaves, and assemble them into a wreath.
In addition to painting the cores green, attaching translucent origami paper will enhance the leafy look, so that’s recommended too.
Incorporating various colors of origami and adding accents to the arrangement of the leaves will lead to a more beautiful wreath.
Finally, attach small decorations to complete it.
Since the overall color is green, adding red will further emphasize the Christmas atmosphere.
Christmas tree made from a toilet paper roll
How about making a Christmas tree using toilet paper rolls? It’s an easy process: just cut the rolls, wrap them with construction paper, and glue them.
Decorate with colorful origami paper and stickers to create an eye-catching wall display.
Why not enjoy a warm, cozy crafting time together so that older adults can have fun while adding their own creative touches? Working together to complete the project also encourages interaction.
Once finished, everyone can admire the creations and share a wonderful moment celebrating the arrival of winter.
Felt Christmas garland
Why not brighten up your room by handmaking a garland with Christmas-colored felt? All it takes is cutting, rolling, and gluing felt, and you’ll end up with a stylish, cozy piece! First, cut felt into holly shapes in two sizes—large and small—and glue them together.
Next, cut the felt into circles, snip them into a spiral, and create flowers by rolling from the tip while gluing as you go.
The trick is to make flowers in different colors and various sizes! Finally, attach each piece to jute twine, and you’re done.
It’s a craft that uses fine motor skills, so be sure to include it in your day service’s winter craft activity!
Christmas wreath at the mall
Introducing an easy-to-make Christmas wreath that only requires twisting pipe cleaners from a 100-yen shop.
This craft uses your fingertips extensively, making it effective for fine-motor rehab for seniors! Why not include it in your preparations for Christmas events? To make it, overlap the ends of two pipe cleaners and twist them together, then clamp a pen, straw, or battery between the pipe cleaners and twist two or three times.
Repeat this process, and once you’ve wrapped to the end, form a circle and twist the two ends together to connect—done! Adding ribbon-shaped pipe cleaners or decorative stickers will make it even more festive.
Try making it with your favorite colors and get into the Christmas spirit.
Christmas wreath made with pipe cleaners
This is a cute, small Christmas wreath made by forming a circle with softly coiled pipe cleaners.
Since the goal is to create a tiny finished piece, it naturally draws attention to fine finger movements and focus on handwork.
Make parts of uniform length by wrapping a pipe cleaner around a pencil, then thread those parts onto a single pipe cleaner that serves as the wreath base.
It’s important to pay attention to the length of each part and carefully shape everything into a neat circle.
Because the base is a small wreath, it’s recommended to use small decorations like stickers or beads.
