[For Seniors] Easy Construction Paper Crafts Activity

necklace

[Paper Quilling] Just roll it up! DIY Paper Quilling Necklace | Easy Handmade

This necklace features a soft, antique-like color palette that you wouldn’t believe was made from paper.

You roll thin strips of paper to create two sizes of rings, then combine them to form the necklace.

After rolling, fix the paper with glue and finish it with pale tones using acrylic paint.

Finally, assemble the pieces and thread a leather cord to complete it.

By experimenting with how you apply the acrylic paint and how you combine the parts, you can create your own unique design—and sharpen your creativity in the process.

Heart paper fan

[Heart Decorations] How to Make Heart-Shaped Paper Fans

Here’s an idea for heart-shaped paper fans that will give your room a cute vibe.

First, a quick note: a paper fan is a decoration made by combining accordion-folded paper.

This time, we’ll fold a rectangular sheet into an accordion, then bend it into a V-shape to create a heart.

Once it’s done, try decorating by sticking it on the wall and so on.

By the way, having a clip on hand makes it easy to secure the V-shape.

The fact that you don’t need scissors or glue is another great feature of this idea.

a colorful heart

Mira’sCraft | Tutorial on how to make quilled heart for Greeting card or Wall Frame Art

A colorful heart that’s perfect for card designs.

First, form a large heart using a long, narrow strip of paper, then add fine details.

Inside the heart, use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to curl strips of paper, partially loosen them, and arrange them in place.

Combining several colors instead of just one will make it look more festive.

If you have time, you can fill the gaps with even more delicate designs.

When securing the paper, using tweezers will make it easier to handle the small parts.

Sakura wreath

Cherry blossom wreath (with template) for spring wall decorations

Starting around late March, we begin to hear more reports that cherry blossoms have started to bloom.

Some older adults may learn about the blossoms blooming through TV or newspapers.

How about enjoying spring a little early with a cute cherry blossom wreath? Using construction paper, we’ll make cherry blossoms with five petals.

By adding valley and mountain folds to the petals to create creases, the flowers will take on a three-dimensional look.

Attach stamens made from yellow construction paper to complete the cherry blossoms.

Then glue the blossoms onto a construction paper wreath base.

Besides a wreath, we also recommend sticking them on a calendar or on the wall.

How about brightening up your crafts or your room with cherry blossoms?

Easy-to-make quilling

Roll it up and stick it on! An introduction to paper quilling

This is an easy paper quilling method that anyone can try, using strips of colored paper cut into long, narrow pieces about 5 mm wide.

Basically, wrap the strip around a bamboo skewer, then remove it and make lots of parts! You can use them tightly wound, loosen them and shape them as you like—the creative freedom is part of the fun.

Since you’ll attach the pieces to a backing at the end, work while imagining the design you want in advance.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, why not try various shapes like teardrops and hearts?
