Recommended winter wall decorations for seniors: heartwarming ideas

Christmas-colored flag

Christmas Origami [Flag] How to Make It ◇ Christmas Decorations ♪ Christmas Decor “Flags” Easy Origami Paper Craft Tutorial

These simple flags made up of a row of triangles capture the fun atmosphere of events and festivals.

To convey a Christmas vibe, we recommend arranging Christmas colors like red, green, and white.

Place each triangle so that they overlap slightly, and pay attention to the center crease of each triangle—focusing on this part will create a sense of depth, even though it’s a flat decoration.

The string simply passes through the gaps between the triangles, allowing it to move freely.

This makes it interesting not only for simple curves but also for following more complex shapes.

[Origami] Easy and cute way to fold a heart wreath [with voice commentary] Origami Heart Wreath – Valentine’s Wreath #3

We’d like to introduce an origami “Heart Wreath” that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day decorations! Make several heart-shaped pieces out of origami paper and connect them together.

The process of folding the heart shape involves some fine steps, which might seem difficult to some.

But since you repeat the same heart shape, once you learn how to fold it, it becomes easy.

Enjoy folding together—such as with seniors—while having fun.

The finished wreath will look great displayed on a facility wall, and it’s also lovely to take home and decorate your room.

It’s a cute wreath, so give it a try!

Oni and Otafuku

[Setsubun Decorations] February: Easy Origami Oni (Demon) and Otafuku for Setsubun [Simple Craft] Setsubun

When it comes to events in February, many people probably think of Setsubun.

Here’s a perfect recreation activity for Setsubun: making an oni (demon) and Otafuku.

First, fold origami to create the outlines of the oni and Otafuku, then attach facial parts cut out from paper.

If you put them up on the wall, you can enjoy a festive Setsubun atmosphere.

By the way, in the context of Setsubun, Otafuku represents the “fuku” in the phrase “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” (Demons out, good fortune in).

So it’s recommended to display them as a set.

poinsettia

Kimie Gangi December wall decoration: “Fluffy Poinsettia” — A hearty poinsettia decoration

When it comes to major events in December, Christmas is the one that comes to mind.

As Christmas approaches, how about making poinsettia flowers as wall decorations—just like the ones you often see in displays at florists and shops around town? We’ll use red, green, and yellow tissue paper.

The leaves are green and the flowers are red, but the method is the same for both.

Fold them in an accordion, trim the corners, staple the center, and fluff them out.

Since the red goes on top of the green, the key is to make the red slightly smaller.

Make lots of them and fill the entire wall with fluffy flowers—it’ll look bright and exciting!

The wall decorations of Ehomaki are lovely.

It will likely brighten the atmosphere of day-service centers and facilities, too.

Making Setsubun wreaths is a lovely recreational activity that seniors will enjoy.

The time spent crafting together with seniors will be very fulfilling.
