[For Seniors] Recommended Wall Decorations for December: Ideas Collection

New Year’s holiday fan ornament

[Craft Idea] New Year Decorations: Fan Wall Hanging (December/January) (Wall Decorations) (Recreation for Seniors, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service, Early Childhood Education) (Origami DIY) (Creative Activity, Psychiatric Recreation)

This is a lavish decoration perfect for the New Year, featuring various lucky motifs arranged on a fan-shaped base.

It’s important to consider the color balance with the decorations and carefully choose which origami paper to use for the main fan.

Popular items to include are ornamental cabbages, camellias, and cranes—elements that embody not only beauty but heartfelt wishes for the coming year.

Since the fan-shaped base has tiers, it’s best to aim for a sense of three-dimensionality in the arrangement—not just by cutting origami or construction paper, but by giving the overall display depth and dimension.

Simple and elegant hagoita ornament

[Craft Idea] Hagoita (Japanese battledore) decoration – Japanese Hagoita crafts (New Year, January, winter) (activities for seniors/day services) (preschool/educational) (creative occupational therapy) (wall decoration) (easy) (DIY)

Hagoita, paddles that are used for a feathered shuttlecock game or displayed as charms to ward off evil, can also be made using origami and construction paper.

Why not try making one yourself? After cutting out the shape of a hagoita from construction paper, paste a sheet of Japanese-pattern origami over it.

For the handle, it’s best to use black construction paper.

You can also make decorative elements by folding or cutting origami paper.

Create and attach auspicious motifs such as plum blossoms, pine, folding fans, and cranes.

Making the decorations three-dimensional will make the hagoita look even more gorgeous, so it’s highly recommended.

Display all the hagoita you’ve made, and you’ll have a wonderfully festive scene!
