For seniors: Introducing handmade decoration ideas to welcome a wonderful Christmas

Nodding Santa Claus

Easy with a paper cup♪ Bobblehead Santa Claus

There are many different types of Christmas decorations.

Still, some people might feel that even with various decorations, things seem a bit lonely.

In such cases, a bobblehead Santa Claus can add a lively touch.

This decoration features a Santa figurine whose head keeps swaying from side to side like a pendulum.

Since it’s always in motion, it doesn’t feel lonely.

You can gather all the necessary materials from items commonly found at home.

And because it uses pendulum motion, it doesn’t require batteries or anything like that.

Christmas Decorations with Paper Ring Garlands

[Ring Garland Craft Idea] Christmas Decorations with Ring Garlands (December Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare, Origami, DIY)

This is about making a chain garland by turning long, thin strips of paper into loops and linking them together, giving it a Christmas feel.

Imagine connecting large loops with thin loops, arranging it so that only one side of each large loop is visible.

The motifs to create include Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowmen.

Each motif is completed in two segments—one for the face and one for the body—and then connected together.

Since you’ll make several long garlands, it’s recommended to vary the positions of the motifs on each one to achieve a more luxurious look.

Felt Scrap Tree

♬ Christmas EveL – Stray Kids

Around Christmas time, it’s a great idea to make a Christmas tree using leftover fabric scraps or felt.

If you happen to have red or green scraps, try making a tree that fully embraces Christmas colors.

If you don’t have red or green, any color is fine, but giving the colors a unified theme will make the tree look even nicer.

For example, you could go with a black and gray two-tone palette, or coordinate pastel shades like orange and pink.

If you make it only with fabric scraps, the whole tree can end up looking a bit limp, so it might be a good idea to first create a frame out of thick paper or cardboard.

A big Christmas tree

Let’s create a large Christmas tree on the wall—an iconic holiday decoration.

The process is to decorate triangular pieces in green and arrange them into a tree shape, intentionally leaving gaps so the overall form still reads as a tree while adding a sense of depth.

Once the tree shape is set, including the trunk pieces, it’s recommended to decorate the surrounding area to aim for an even more luxurious look.

If you incorporate reflective elements like gold tape to catch the light, the festive excitement of Christmas will stand out even more.

Christmas decorations / Easy! Just cut and paste! Illustrated wall decorations [Illustration details] Check out the “Christmas Illustrations” from the “Template Distribution” section on Home Link!

♬ Christmas standard song – 3KTrack

Here’s an idea you can use when you’re short on time but want to make your wall look cute.

All you need are printed papers with Christmas illustrations and raffia ribbon.

Prepare a variety of illustrations.

After cutting out each illustration with scissors, attach them to raffia ribbons cut to match the length of your wall.

Using two colors—red and green—will give it an even more Christmassy feel.

Once all the illustrations are attached, stick the raffia ribbons to the wall, alternating red and green.

It’s an easy idea that creates a very festive, eye-catching wall display.

Paper Plate Santa

Cut a paper plate in half to make the base for the face.

Snip small cuts along the rim with scissors to create the beard.

Cut a red piece of construction paper into a triangle, add a pom-pom to make a hat, and glue it onto the plate.

Color the center of the plate with crayon to match a skin tone, then draw the nose and mouth.

Finally, make hair with cotton and attach eye parts to complete your Santa Claus.

Feel free to enjoy it by sticking it on the wall or hanging it as a decoration.

It would also look nice attached to a cone-shaped body as a standing ornament.
