lease
A wreath decoration instantly brightens up a room with a cheerful vibe.
Its large, round shape really catches the eye.
You can freely create any design you like—using origami, yarn, faux flowers, and more—so it also makes a great handmade gift.
Another plus is that wreaths fit anywhere.
Hang them on a wall, a door, or by the entrance, and they’ll make the space feel special.
Because they’re easy to display in a spot you always see, the recipient can feel the giver’s presence close by.
It’s also a gift that conveys the message “I’m always watching over you,” perfect for elderly loved ones who live far away.
Respect for the Aged Day text

You’ll want to display the title “Respect for the Aged Day” prominently on the wall as the main decoration, right? The method is simple: cut out the letters with a cutter, then place them on a base in your favorite color, or on round-cut colored paper.
It sounds easy when explained, but the character “敬” has some fine details, so cutting it out might be a bit tricky.
A design knife or art knife works better than a regular cutter for this.
Arrange the letters with good balance and glue them in place.
Crane memo holder

How about a crane memo holder as a gift for someone special? Cranes are considered a symbol of longevity, making them perfect for celebrating elderly loved ones.
We all want the people we care about to stay healthy forever.
Words that are hard to say in everyday life can be gently conveyed by adding a note to the crane memo stand.
Also, the folding method for the crane doesn’t require many intricate steps, so it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident with origami.
It would likely be a hit if you quietly placed one on the table for Respect for the Aged Day or at a birthday celebration.
garland

Perfect for celebratory decorations! Here’s a garland idea made with origami.
First, prepare origami paper in your favorite patterns and colors.
Fold the paper into a triangle and open it up, then fold one of the sides in half along the crease.
Fold the remaining corner inward to complete one piece.
Make as many pieces as you like, arrange them at equal intervals on a strip of tape, and secure them to finish the garland.
Stick it on the wall or hang it from the ceiling to brighten up your room.
The pieces are easy to make, so try using a variety of origami papers!
Paper construction paper flower decoration

Despite its delicate appearance, the method is simple! How about decorating with a lovely floral wall ornament? Prepare construction paper cut into thin strips, making several in different lengths.
Take one strip and roll it into a teardrop shape.
Then take a longer strip and wrap it over the first, also forming a teardrop.
Once you have three layers, align the ends and staple them to secure.
Make 8 to 10 of these pieces, then glue their sides together to form a flower shape.
The finished look is clean and stylish—perfect for creating a wonderful atmosphere for Respect-for-the-Aged Day gatherings.
Making a cosmos flower wreath

Speaking of cosmos flowers, September is the best time to see them.
It would be wonderful to visit a real cosmos field, but if you can’t, try making a cosmos wreath! Use green construction paper for the base of the wreath, and colorful origami paper for the cosmos flowers.
You can make the flowers by folding the origami into the specified shape, then cutting with scissors and adding small slits.
Choose your favorite colors and create a cosmos wreath that’s uniquely yours.
When you display it in your room, it will brighten the space and make it feel lively and festive!

Colorful garland

Colorful garlands are items that instantly brighten the atmosphere just by being displayed.
Let’s decorate with garlands to celebrate Respect for the Aged Day! Fold several sheets of origami into accordions and combine them.
To make them easy to hang, attach small pieces to the ends, and you’re done.
Choosing color combinations is where your sense of style shines.
The method is very simple, so it should be fun to make together with seniors.
