[For Seniors] Recommended Wall Decorations for December: Idea Collection (41–50)
Fluffy Wreath

This charming wreath features a soft look created with faux fur, evoking a gentle winter landscape.
The main step is wrapping yarn around the wreath base, so proceed with attention to concentration and smooth finger movements.
Wrap the yarn around the entire base and secure both ends with glue to complete the foundation.
Then, decorate the base with winter- and Christmas-inspired motifs such as ribbons and snowmen.
White motifs that match the base create a sense of unity, while bright Christmas-colored motifs stand out nicely.
We recommend choosing colors to suit the place where you’ll display it.
[For Seniors] Recommended Wall Decorations for December: Ideas Summary (51–60)
Christmas tree and ornaments

This is a wall decoration inspired by a Christmas tree, featuring a beautiful three-dimensional look with branches spreading outward.
Focus not only on the tree’s shape but also on the surrounding decorations to fully convey the Christmas atmosphere.
First, roll a piece of green construction paper cut into a fan shape into a pointed cone, then attach strips of paper with fine slits to resemble branches.
To finish the tree beautifully, overlap the pieces as you paste them, imagining that you’re covering the seams between parts.
Once you add the ornament pieces, the tree as a whole is complete.
By stacking and layering the units, you can even create a larger tree.
House of Chimneys

There’s also the story that Santa Claus comes down the chimney at Christmas, isn’t there? It’s exciting to imagine him arriving at night in a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
The chimney is what Santa uses to deliver presents to the children inside the house.
Let’s try making a house with a chimney out of origami and add it to a calendar.
You can make both the house and the chimney from a single sheet of origami paper.
The folding method is simple, so it may be easy for seniors to make, too.
By changing the folding steps, you can create versions with different chimney positions and house colors.
Try making a piece that suits the preferences of the seniors.
gingerbread man

Do you know the Gingerbread Man? It’s the brown, person-shaped figure you often see during the Christmas season.
That’s called a Gingerbread Man, and it’s a human figure made from gingerbread or ginger cookies.
These days, it appears not only at Christmas but also at Halloween and Easter in different shapes.
How about folding a gingerbread man with origami and making a calendar? Adding small accents like a ribbon or a hat is the key to making it extra cute!
poinsettia

When you think of plants in December, what comes to mind first? If you’re into gardening, you might say pansies or cyclamen.
Kale for New Year’s is also quite charming, isn’t it? But after all, December really means poinsettias.
These days there are white and even green poinsettias, so you can choose a color to match your mood.
A poinsettia-themed calendar would surely boost the Christmas spirit.
You can make poinsettias by cutting colored paper, but it seems you can also make them with origami—so if you like origami, give it a try!
Christmas tree made with origami

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 tree made with an eraser stamp

Eraser stamps are a lot of fun, even if you feel a little sorry for the eraser itself.
A similar activity might be the rubber block prints we made in elementary school art class, right? I remember carving the zodiac animals to use on New Year’s cards.
If you’re good with your hands, making a calendar with eraser prints would be great, too.
Try carving Christmas-related motifs like fir trees, stars, presents, and snow.
Your sense of style will show in how you combine them and arrange the colors.
And please be very careful with the carving tools!
