holly
Holly, which appears in the Christmas carol “Deck the Halls,” is an essential plant for Christmas.
It’s cherished as a sacred tree in the West.
Let’s make decorations that recreate holly leaves with origami.
Prepare teal-green and red origami paper, and fold it into the shape of leaves.
It’s surprisingly detailed work, so it’s great for finger dexterity rehab, too.
Use scissors to cut the distinctive holly leaf shape.
Finally, fold red origami into berry shapes and attach them to finish!
gift box
Speaking of Christmas, it’s all about presents from Santa! This is a cute wall decoration featuring a gift box.
It’s very easy to make: simply cut out the box and ribbon pieces according to the template and glue them together.
Trace the patterns onto construction paper, and have participants help either from the cutting stage or from assembling the pieces.
If you make it with colorful paper, it’ll instantly brighten up the room—no doubt about it! It’s perfect for capturing that exciting Christmas atmosphere.
bell
This is a wall decoration of a Christmas bell made with origami.
Make a cross-shaped crease on a sheet of yellow origami paper, and fold back about 1 cm along one edge.
Turn it over, fold it into the shape of a bell, and once the bell is complete, make holly leaves and berries to give it a more Christmassy feel.
Add fine creases to the leaves to create veins, and for the berries, cut small squares of origami paper and fold the corners inward slightly to make them round.
Glue all the parts together, and your decoration full of Christmas spirit is complete.
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.
