[For Seniors] Ideas for Wall Decorations to Enhance the Festive Atmosphere of a Sports Day

Simple origami medal

[Easy Origami] How to fold a medal! Perfect for Olympic decorations and school sports events♪ [Origami Medal]

When it comes to what Olympic athletes want most, it’s definitely medals.

In the world of sports, medals are very important items and a key achievement goal.

Let’s make those medals out of origami and turn them into wall decorations! Since the theme is a sports day where teammates aim for victory together, medal decorations are naturally a perfect fit.

You fold two sheets of origami paper separately and then combine them at the end.

Instead of making a simple circle, you create a design with some protruding sections.

Just by doing that, it ends up looking luxurious and intricately crafted!

Tug-of-war wreath

Origami Sports Day ~Tug of War~ Origami Wreath

When it comes to events that parents and children can get excited about at a sports day, tug-of-war is probably the first that comes to mind.

In fact, tug-of-war was once an official Olympic sport, and it’s familiar to many older adults as well.

How about a wreath inspired by tug-of-war as a wall decoration? First, make a base for the wreath out of cardboard and attach colored construction paper.

For the tug-of-war rope, you can twist white origami paper into a cord or use paper string.

Making the players animals instead of people gives it a cute finish! Adding elements like flags will help convey that sports day atmosphere.

Translucent Garland

[Easy Origami] How to Make a Garland: A Cute Decoration Elementary School Kids Can Easily Make Using Translucent Origami from the 100-Yen Shop

Even prettier when the light hits it! Make a translucent garland and add a splash of color to the sports day scenery.

Use semi-transparent design paper that lets you see through to the other side.

Stack several pieces of design paper cut into rectangles of different lengths, then puff them up into a three-dimensional shape that looks like an onion.

Secure the edge while it’s puffed, and you’ve completed one piece.

String multiple pieces vertically, and you’re done.

Switching up the patterns or sizes of the design paper will boost the style factor even more.
