Here’s an idea you can use when you’re short on time but want to make your wall look cute.

All you need are printed papers with Christmas illustrations and raffia ribbon.

Prepare a variety of illustrations.

After cutting out each illustration with scissors, attach them to raffia ribbons cut to match the length of your wall.

Using two colors—red and green—will give it an even more Christmassy feel.

Once all the illustrations are attached, stick the raffia ribbons to the wall, alternating red and green.

It’s an easy idea that creates a very festive, eye-catching wall display.

Santa Claus on a sleigh

[Craft Idea] Santa Claus in a Sleigh (December Wall Decoration, with Templates) (Senior Recreation, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare, Construction Paper, Easy) (Work Size: 1 Sheet of Poster Paper)

Christmas is one of the major events in December.

You might imagine Santa Claus riding in a sleigh delivering presents.

Some older adults may have even played the role of Santa for their children or grandchildren.

Let’s turn that dreamy scene into a wall decoration.

Use construction paper or origami to make Santa and his sleigh.

It’s also recommended to create other Christmas-related items like reindeer or a chimney together.

Using cotton to give Santa’s beard a fluffy look will make it especially charming.

If older adults draw Santa’s face themselves, the result will be a uniquely personal piece.

Christmas garland

[How to Make a Christmas Garland] Let’s create a garland with cute Santa illustration materials!

A Christmas garland is a lovely decoration that you can enjoy making together with older adults.

Let’s use colorful paper and ribbons to create trees and stars as a group.

Moving your hands also serves as good rehabilitation.

When everyone’s unique creations come together, they turn into a sparkling garland.

Once it’s hung up, the whole room will feel bright and cheerful.

The smiles of the seniors will shine, too, making for a heartwarming time.

Let’s create wonderful Christmas memories while sharing the joy of making something together.

Christmas tree folded with origami

Let’s make a Christmas tree with origami, which also serves as finger exercises! Once you understand the steps, origami is easy to use and is recommended for seniors.

Combining many sheets can get complicated, but it’s much easier if you can complete it with just one sheet! Not only the standard green—if you fold with different colors, your walls will look lively too! It’s also a great idea to use various paper sizes.

If you decorate the finished Christmas tree by drawing pictures or adding stickers, you’ll create a sparkling Christmas scene!

Simple Christmas decorations

[Christmas Origami] Easy! Cute Santa, Reindeer, Tree, and Snowman Folding Instructions / Christmas Decorations Ornaments – Origami Christmas Ornament

These days, supermarkets and convenience stores start putting up Christmas decorations even before December.

It’s exciting how the year-end mood suddenly ramps up, but there’s also something a bit lonely about the year coming to a close.

How about you all? I think a calendar featuring all the Christmas characters—Santa, reindeer, snowmen—would be a lot of fun.

You can make them all, including the Christmas tree, by arranging triangles.

If there’s a chance to make it together, you could even divide up the tasks—like having Yamada-san make the reindeer.

A cute three-dimensional Santa Claus made of construction paper

[Santa Claus] Christmas craft, 3D, construction paper, origami, Origami Christmas, Santa, mural, winter

This is a Santa Claus–themed character made by combining cut construction paper.

It features Santa’s face at the center with arms and legs stretched out, and because it’s simple, the overall impression changes greatly depending on the size of each part.

A major highlight is using cotton from a bag for the beard piece; this difference in material gives the character a three-dimensional feel.

We recommend mounting the character on construction paper as a base and using it as a wall decoration.

present box ornament

[100-Yen DIY] How to Make Christmas Ornaments – How to Make a Gift Box 🎁

Here is an introduction to ornaments that evoke gifts from Santa Claus.

Using two sheets of origami in different sizes, let’s make a present box.

We’ll start by creasing the paper and then folding.

Attach a hanging string and a ribbon to finish.

Since there are steps besides folding—like using wood glue for adhesion—it looks like a craft you can enjoy making.

Its cute style may spark lively conversation among older adults as they create.

Please display them on walls or on your Christmas tree.
