How to make a crane wreath you can use for New Year’s

Crane Wreath

We’d like to introduce an origami crane wreath that’s perfect as a recreational activity for seniors.

Cranes are considered lucky and are a common New Year motif.

Using origami paper with traditional Japanese patterns or bright colors makes it look wonderful! You can find a variety of origami papers at 100-yen shops.

Once you’ve prepared the paper, follow the video and start folding.

After you’ve made eight crane units, combine them to form a wreath.

If you make crisp folds for the crane’s face and wings, the finished piece will look neat and beautiful.

Give it a try and use this as a guide!

Did you find a favorite? Origami is an activity you can do seated indoors, making it an easy recreation for older adults as well.

Because it uses fine motor skills, it exercises the hands while stimulating the brain, which can help prevent cognitive decline.
