[Respect for the Aged Day] Boost the mood with handmade touches! A roundup of lovely decoration ideas

Crane memo holder

Let’s make a Respect-for-the-Aged Day gift with origami! [With audio commentary] A message gift for Grandpa and Grandma: a 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.

Message with cranes, turtles, and brush calligraphy

[88th Birthday Celebration] Video of Creating a Gift Color Paper with Cranes, Turtles, and Name [Brush Pen, Pastels, Embossing]

Here’s a message card featuring auspicious cranes and turtles.

Use turtle and crane stencils and apply pastel colors onto the base paper or colored paper where you’ll write your message.

If you color the entire base or colored paper with pastels, you can create a soft, gentle feel.

Adding your message with a brush turns it into a truly one-of-a-kind card.

We also recommend adding gold feathers or other lucky motifs.

Using the embossing technique to raise gold patterns is another nice touch.

Older adults are likely to be pleased with such an original message card.

If you make message cards for each person and display them on the wall, they’ll make a lovely decoration for Respect-for-the-Aged Day gatherings!

Paper construction paper flower decoration

Paper craft flower decorations, window decorations, wall decor ❤︎ DIY/tutorial/paper craft flowers/window decoration ❤︎ #742

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

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Wreath / How to Make Cosmos 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!

paper ball

Paper Ball Made with Origami — How to Make a Paper Ball

Here’s an idea for a paper ball you can easily make with origami! First, cut the origami paper with scissors and create about 10–12 circular pieces.

Fold each one in half, then glue them together to form a sphere.

Before sealing the final seam, thread a string through the center and then stick it closed.

Using a single color is fine, but mixing several colors makes it look more festive, so I recommend it! This example uses origami paper, but if you want it to last longer or make it repeatedly, felt is a great option too.
