ball ornament
Round-shaped decorations are attracting attention as items that can ease aggression in older adults and promote a calm feeling.
Why not choose ball ornaments—known for their round shape—for your Christmas wall decorations? The method is simple: cut construction paper purchased at a 100-yen shop to your preferred size.
Next, use a craft punch to create a Christmas tree design and glue several sheets of the paper together.
Finally, open the layered paper like petals, and you’ll have an adorable wall decoration ready to display.
poinsettia
The red poinsettia, whose flower language includes “blessing” and “holy night,” is the perfect flower for Christmas.
Let’s make a poinsettia Christmas decoration using red and green construction paper! Cut each sheet into multiple pieces and shape each piece like leaves and petals.
Use double-sided tape to stick them together, attaching the red pieces on top of the green paper.
Finally, glue a yellow pom-pom in the center to complete your poinsettia.
Because it’s a slightly larger decoration, it’s easy to make even for seniors with poor eyesight or those in rehabilitation.

Poinsettia wreath
Let’s make a poinsettia wreath to fill your room with Christmas spirit.
Use red and green origami paper to create leaf shapes.
Adding wrinkles after folding will give them a more natural texture.
It’s also perfect for fingertip rehabilitation for older adults.
Layer and glue the finished leaves into a wreath shape, and you’ll have a lovely, dimensional wall decoration.
Use your creativity to make a one-of-a-kind original wreath.
You’ll surely feel a sense of accomplishment and have a wonderful time.
Pom-pom tree
Let’s make a pom-pom tree using yarn! Use a pom-pom maker—available at 100-yen shops—to make your pom-poms first.
Combine about two pom-poms of different sizes and stack them to form a tree shape.
Trim any excess with scissors to shape it like a tree.
Next, roll brown felt to create the tree base.
Once you attach the tree and base, decorate with ribbons, beads, and embellishments to finish.
Add a string, and you can hang it on the wall!
Roast chicken
We also recommend this wall decoration that looks like a roast chicken—so appetizing you might get hungry just looking at it.
All you need is a large brown envelope.
First, draw the shape of a sock on the envelope with a pencil, make a cut at the heel, and fold that part inward.
Next, flatten the whole thing, then open it up and crumple it to give it texture.
After that, stuff it with newspaper so the tip puffs out, and tie the top with a ribbon made from white paper—that’s it! Adding a red ribbon from a 100-yen shop is a cute variation, too.
wine glass
Origami wine glasses are easy to make and are perfect as wall decorations to brighten up your Christmas.
In Japan, Christmas and wine may not feel closely connected, but in Europe, a cocktail called mulled wine—made by warming wine—is a classic symbol of the season and a staple at Christmas markets held from around November.
Since you can make this with a single sheet of origami paper, it’s also a great craft for seniors.
If you decorate the wine glass with origami cinnamon sticks and orange slices, it will feel even more Christmassy.
It’s a wall decoration idea that lets you share a fun bit of trivia with your family along with the finished piece.
star ornament
Why not brighten up the Christmas season with star-shaped decorations that are simple and easy to make? All you need is colorful construction paper—slightly thicker paper works best.
There are no difficult steps and no special materials or tools required, so people of all ages, from children to seniors, can enjoy making them.
Because these are three-dimensional objects, they offer a different kind of fun compared to the usual flat wall decorations.
String several together for a colorful, festive look.
There are many ways to decorate for Christmas, but these 3D star ornaments will also make your room feel lively and charming.
