wreath

The paper chain decoration that almost everyone has made at least once! Fold origami paper, cut it into thin strips, roll each strip into a loop and glue the ends together.
From the second loop onward, thread the strip through the previous loop before gluing.
Repeat this process until it reaches your desired length, and in no time your paper chain is complete! It’s very simple, but seeing a paper chain often brings to mind exciting events like birthdays or parties for many people.
To get ready for a fun Christmas, try making a little at a time during craft time.
Snowflakes

Making snowflake decorations is lovely, isn’t it? If you use white origami paper, lining them up by the window might make it look like a snowy landscape.
When creating them with older adults, pre-cutting the origami into small squares can make it easier to work with.
If you display the finished snowflakes on windows or walls, you can create a cozy winter atmosphere.
Enjoying the finished pieces together and reminiscing about old memories with older adults can be a great way to connect.
Activities that use the fingertips also help stimulate the brain, so you can support health while having fun.
I hope you enjoy making beautiful snowflakes!
Snowflake ornament

This is a three-dimensional decoration featuring snowflakes arranged in a regular pattern.
You can enjoy it in various ways, such as attaching a string to hang it or linking pieces together to make a garland.
All you need is thinly cut paper; carefully assemble the slender strips while paying attention to where you attach them and to the curves, then adhere twisted, claw-like pieces into the gaps—a delicate process.
Because it involves creating small parts and combining them, it really tests your fingertip precision.
It’s also fun to experiment with different color combinations to see how the impression changes.
Cute, round ornaments

A Christmas tree adorned with various decorations can make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a magical world just by looking at it.
This time, we’ll introduce how to make ornaments that can also be hung on a Christmas tree.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half twice, then cut it into a circle.
You’ll get four circular pieces; align the surfaces and fold each one in half.
Glue the four pieces together to connect them, but there’s a key point: alternate the top and bottom when attaching.
For example, when gluing the first two pieces, attach the glue near the top; for the next connection, apply the glue near the bottom, and so on.
This creates a plump, rounded ornament with a cute look.
The steps aren’t very complicated, so it’s an easy project for seniors to enjoy as well.
Infinity Christmas decoration

These are three-dimensional decorative designs made with origami.
Because the motif isn’t clearly defined, you can interpret them in many ways—like flowers or snowflakes—which makes them easy to incorporate into decorations.
Combine four thinly cut strips of origami paper, attach them at the center so that two strips extend in each of four directions.
Then, bend each strip and glue it to the strip in the adjacent direction to finish.
Although the result is three-dimensional, a single piece has a simple design, so it’s recommended to connect several together or use them as decorations on trees or wreaths.
It could also be fun to try various colors and see how the impression changes.
Christmas-colored wreath

A Christmas-colored wreath that’s perfect as an ornament for a Christmas tree or wall decoration.
By combining two colors of construction paper, you can make a three-dimensional circular wreath.
First, make vertical slits on the inside of two sheets of construction paper and interlock them, then roll them around something like a plastic wrap core to form a tube.
Gently flare out both ends of the tube, glue them in place, and attach a string.
Placing a paper cup in the center of the circle at this stage helps keep the shape neat.
Finally, decorate it with a ribbon, and you’re done! You can enjoy a variety of arrangements just by changing the two-color paper pattern.
Let older adults experience the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating this item.
Christmas card

Let’s make Christmas cards using origami with a variety of patterns and materials.
If you take a piece of construction paper with a Christmas tree shape cut out in the center and paste different kinds of origami behind it, you can create an interesting, unique card.
You can use any origami you like—polka dots, stripes, patterned designs, and more.
Preparing plenty of origami will also make it fun for seniors to choose their favorites.
Decorating the Christmas tree with pearl or star stickers will make it look even more beautiful.
