[For Seniors] Brighten Up December Walls! Christmas Decoration Ideas

Snowflakes

Copy paper, origami, memo paper: Easy three-dimensional snow decorations (with audio commentary)

This is a 3D snowflake decoration you can make with origami or printer paper.

Any white paper will do; prepare scissors, glue, and a pen as well.

Cut two 10 cm squares and fold each one into a triangle twice.

Fold it into a triangle once more, then draw lines with a pen where you’ll make cuts, and cut along the lines with scissors.

Open it once, then make a single cut with the scissors from one spot to the center.

Prepare another identical piece, and glue them together so they form a three-dimensional shape, and you’re done.

The last step is a bit tricky, so it should be a good brain teaser!

Poinsettia Christmas tree

DIY Craft Idea: Poinsettia Christmas Tree (with templates) (December) (Wall Decoration) (Senior Recreation/Daycare) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY Craft) (Psychiatric Creative OT)

Let’s make poinsettias out of origami to brighten up Christmas, and then arrange them into the shape of a tree.

The key point is how to create a soft, layered three-dimensional look for the leaves.

Crumple red and green origami paper well to add firm wrinkles, then open it up and cut it into leaf shapes.

After that, layer and glue them to form poinsettias, and attach them to the tree base to complete the project.

It’s also a good idea to fill the gaps between poinsettias with decorations like snowflakes so the base doesn’t show.

Through the crumpling motions and the detailed cutting of small parts, encourage awareness of fine finger movements.

angel

[Transcension Kai] Angel Series 2nd Generation SPECIAL MOVIE [Monster Strike Official]

How about using angels—auspicious motifs that bring good fortune—as Christmas wall decorations? If you use origami about 15 cm x 15 cm, you can easily make palm-sized ornaments! Once you’ve made the angel base with origami, use a ruler and scissors to cut construction paper, then glue on each body part.

Choose origami with a different-colored border; when finished, the angel’s skirt will look adorably frilled.

Give it a try if you like!
