For seniors: Decorate the December wall with a tree. Easy ideas using origami and yarn.

Christmas tree made with accordion folding

[Craft Idea] Accordion-Fold Christmas Tree for Wall Decorations (Elderly Recreation) (Childcare)

This is a simple Christmas tree made by combining pieces of origami.

The precise folding steps are important, making it perfect for finger dexterity practice.

First, accordion-fold the green origami paper, apply glue to the edge, and secure it with a clothespin or similar clip.

Then, fully spread the opposite side and shape it into a triangle.

Next, make the tree trunk with brown origami paper and attach decorations like a star to complete the tree.

The accordion folds add a three-dimensional look and help create a soft, natural feel for the tree—this is the key point.

Christmas tree made with origami

[Origami] Easy! How to Make a Christmas Tree ★ #折り紙 #origami #クリスマス #christmas

Why are fir trees used for Christmas trees? It varies by country, but in Germany it’s believed that little spirits dwell in fir trees, and that decorating them with food and presents brings good luck.

In Japan, do many places substitute cedar trees? Let’s try folding a Christmas tree with origami and make a calendar that features it.

The folding method is surprisingly simple, so please share it with everyone.

You can also use pipe cleaners or beads to decorate the tree!

[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.

Cute Santa and an origami Christmas tree

How to make a cute Santa with a fluffy paper beard and an origami Christmas tree / How to make a cute Santa Claus and Christmas tree with paper

Just by putting a little decoration in your room, you can instantly get into the Christmas spirit with these “cute Santa and origami Christmas trees.” The charm of this craft is that you can make it with familiar materials like colored construction paper, origami paper, and toilet paper rolls! For both crafts, the main steps involve cutting and pasting colored paper or origami.

A key point is using toilet paper for Santa’s hat and outfit’s white trim, as well as his beard! For the beard in particular, the toilet paper is torn by hand to give it a fluffy finish.

If you’re incorporating this into a day-service craft activity, it might go smoothly if you assign roles and have everyone divide up the tasks.

Tree

#Christmas #howtomake #papercraft #christmas #christmasdecor #diycrafts #papercrafts #ChristmasTree #christmastree

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.

Fluffy tissue-paper poinsettia wall decoration

Kimie Gangi December wall decoration: “Fluffy Poinsettia” — A hearty poinsettia decoration

Let’s softly craft a poinsettia—an essential for Christmas—using tissue paper.

Fold the tissue paper in an accordion (screen-fold) style, then fold it in half, secure the center, cut it, and gently open it while adding creases to shape the leaves.

Make these pieces with both red and green tissue paper, layer and glue them together, and place yellow in the center to finish.

The angle of each leaf is also important; because they spread softly in various directions, the piece gains a strong three-dimensional presence.

It would look beautiful not only as a wall decoration but also as a tabletop ornament.
