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

A popular motif for December wall decorations is the Christmas tree.

Let’s try making a tree-themed wall display for this year’s Christmas! We often hear that wall displays can feel a bit repetitive—“The design ends up looking the same every year…” In this article, besides classic ideas using origami and construction paper, we’ll introduce unique, heartwarming ways to make Christmas trees with balloons, yarn, pom-poms, and more! These ideas are perfect for creating wonderful memories while enjoying the process together—great for recreational activities in senior facilities and also recommended for making with your grandchildren at home.

We hope you find them helpful!

[For Seniors] Let's decorate the December wall with a tree. Simple ideas made with origami and yarn (41–50)

Poinsettia Christmas Tree Made with Origami

If you want to give your room a modern vibe, why not try making a poinsettia Christmas tree out of origami? Poinsettias are red flowers that bloom in winter and are also known as Christmas flowers.

A poinsettia Christmas tree is made by folding the flower petals with origami and attaching them to a tree-shaped base.

With a color scheme centered on red and green, it gives off a strong Christmas feel while looking stylish.

Christmas garland

Here’s an idea for a Christmas garland using raffia tape.

Wrap the tape around a piece of cardboard of a handy size several times, then cut along the edge with scissors and slide it off the cardboard.

Use another piece of raffia tape to tie the bundle near the top, then snip the bottom loops to open them up.

Attach a star to the tied part, and your tree is complete.

Make several of these, thread them onto a string, and hang them up to finish your Christmas garland! For extra holiday sparkle, bundle in some shiny, glossy tape along with the raffia tape—highly recommended.

How about making a stylish and cute Christmas tree using everyday materials like toilet paper rolls and construction paper? It’s also recommended as a wall decoration for care facilities, and great to make together with residents! Cut the toilet paper rolls short, arrange them in the shape of a tree, and staple them in place.

Cut green construction paper into a tree shape and attach it; if you use a craft knife to punch out a few round holes, it will boost the design! For a chic touch, cut patterned origami paper—like gingham—into circles and glue them to the bottoms.

Decorating with Christmas-themed cutouts or stickers would look wonderful, too!

Three-dimensional wall-mounted Christmas tree

Here are some ideas for a three-dimensional wall-mounted Christmas tree that you can also enjoy decorating.

First, prepare green origami paper and double-sided colored origami paper.

Stack these two sheets, fold them in half, and cut along a Christmas tree template you prepared separately.

This will create a shape that looks like a Christmas tree cut in half.

Attach the flat side to the wall and display it.

You can also decorate the tree as you like.

By the way, templates are available for download online.

A Christmas tree made using garlands

We’d like to introduce a wall decoration: a Christmas tree with cute, plump, rounded leaves.

While most wall decorations are flat, this one creates a three-dimensional Christmas tree.

Using the same method as making paper chains, glue the ends of thin, rectangular strips of origami paper to form loops, then attach them in the shape of a fir tree.

Staff can cut the origami into rectangles, and users can make the loops.

Finish by decorating around the tree with snow, Christmas boots, or any embellishments you like.

Origami Christmas tree

This is a simple Christmas tree made with origami.

Its simplicity allows for a wide range of customization, and the key is that you can express originality through decorations.

Fold green origami paper into a pointed triangle to create the base, then add embellishments like rhinestones or stickers.

It’s important to have a crease down the center of the triangle—this clearly conveys the trunk of the tree and gives it a sense of dimension.

Whether you use decorations that suggest the spread of the branches or ones that evoke festive ornamentation, the personality of the tree will come through depending on which aspects you choose to emphasize.

In conclusion

The Christmas tree, a popular wall decoration for December, can take on many different looks depending on the materials and techniques used.

The handmade warmth of paper and string adds a gentle touch of color to any space.

Why not try creating trees with various methods and share the joy of making and the pleasures of the season with those dear to you?
