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

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.

Making a December calendar ⭐

Christmas has become firmly established in Japan.

In fact, until 1947, December 25 was a national holiday because it was the anniversary of Emperor Taishō’s death.

Seniors will remember that.

Speaking of Christmas, Santa Claus comes to mind.

With just red triangular paper, you can make something that already looks like Santa, so even if you’re not particularly skilled at crafts, don’t worry.

Use cotton for the beard and beige-colored paper for the face.

Giving him a cane or something might be stylish! A hat and scarf are great too—even a slightly dapper Santa is OK.

Have you ever made a countdown calendar like “25 days until graduation” back in your school days? Since they’re often made by the whole class, each page tends to carry a certain passionate feeling that really captures the essence of youth.

So, why not make a page-a-day countdown calendar to Christmas to get into the holiday spirit? It would be fun to divide up the work with your family or make it together with friends.

Each page will show its own personality—you might even feel like making one for the entire year!

Santa Claus and Presents

With You Mizonokuchi: December Calendar Craft – Christmas

The gold coins that Saint Nicholas threw into poor households happened to land in stockings that were drying by the fireplace.

Thanks to those coins, everyone became happy.

From this anecdote came the custom of putting Christmas presents in stockings.

It’s a lovely story, isn’t it? Did you also receive presents in your stockings when you were children? Let’s use Santa and presents as decorations for the calendar.

Presents can be box-shaped, a big sack, or of course the stocking type—anything is OK! It would be great to create a colorful calendar!

New Year’s shimenawa wreath

[Senior Recreation] Easy New Year’s Shimenawa Wreath Using Newspaper [Craft/DIY] New Year decoration

Let’s make a festive shimenawa, an essential New Year’s decoration, using easy-to-find materials.

Crumple up some newspaper, twist it into a coil, and shape it into a circle to use as the base.

Wrap the base with crepe paper and glue it in place, then attach lucky-looking parts you’ve made separately—such as a fan and camellia flowers—to finish.

Because the steps are simple, it’s a craft that lets you come up with your own design, from the colors you choose to the decorations you include.

Camellias in crepe paper

Kimie Gangi winter wall decorations: Camellias made with tissue paper (#January #February #seasonal wall decor #tissue paper crafts #winter camellias #easy #pretty #diycrafts #seniors)

The winter camellia is a plant that blooms in the cold season, and thanks to its vivid colors, it’s a classic choice for New Year’s decorations.

Let’s create a three-dimensional winter camellia using soft tissue paper.

We’ll use two colors of tissue paper—red and white—and shape them while layered together.

Also, fold the white tissue paper up in the center and attach polystyrene beads to beautifully finish the flower’s center.

Pay close attention to how you add wrinkles to the tissue paper to recreate the softness of the petals.

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.
