Birthday Medal seniors would be happy to receive
For those looking for a handmade birthday gift: this time, we’re introducing a “medal” craft.
Medals make great keepsakes as a symbol of effort and achievement.
Some older adults may associate them with the Olympics.
Why not present such a nostalgic medal for their birthday? If the craft allows for a message, it’s nice to add their age and a “Congratulations.” We also recommend hanging it around their neck and taking a commemorative photo.
We hope this helps them look forward to their birthday.

Star-shaped medal
This is a medal featuring a three-dimensional star motif made with origami.
Using a single sheet of origami paper, we’ll make sure to showcase the contrasting colors on the front and back.
First, fold the paper and make a cut with scissors to form a pentagon.
Using the creases made from folding as guides, add more detailed creases.
Then fold so that the edges align, and gently open gaps to reveal the color on the reverse side.
To enhance the medal-like appearance, also consider how to attach a string and how different folding methods can add volume.
In conclusion
This time, we introduced a craft for making a “medal to give as a birthday present.” Using shiny origami makes it sparkle beautifully as it reflects the light.
With a bit of creativity in your materials, it will look even more festive.
Give it a try for inspiration!
