Simply changing the color combinations or patterns gives you a kadomatsu full of originality.
The handmade process brings the joy of the season and a sense of accomplishment, and displaying the finished kadomatsu instantly elevates the New Year’s mood.

Shimenawa decoration made with origami
A shimenawa decoration made from origami—perfect for seniors as a simple way to enjoy the New Year atmosphere.
Twist origami paper into a ring to form the base, then attach three-dimensional flowers, cords, mizuhiki, and more to complete a vivid, auspicious ornament.
By changing color combinations or experimenting with flower shapes, each participant can express their individuality.
Handling origami also exercises the fingers, and once finished, it becomes a cheerful interior piece you can enjoy by displaying it on a wall or at the entrance—an elegant idea brimming with seasonal charm.
poinsettia
Poinsettias, which vividly brighten up the winter season, strongly evoke Christmas with their red and green appearance.
How about recreating a poinsettia with origami to feel a touch of warmth amid the cold? The method involves cutting origami into shapes that look like spread leaves and layering them, but by giving each part crisp creases, you create depth when they’re stacked.
Make sure to press firm creases into each piece, fold and cut, and then layer them while keeping a sense of softness in mind.
In conclusion
How was it? We introduced origami recommendations for seniors to enjoy in winter.
There were lots of exciting pieces to make, like lucky New Year’s decorations and cute animals that evoke the winter season.
Try making them while chatting about the fun things that happened this year and your goals for the year ahead.
