Snowflakes
Let’s make snowflake wall decorations using origami.
This method also uses scissors and is similar to delicate paper cutting.
Draw patterns on folded origami paper and cut along the lines with scissors.
It involves some fine work, so please proceed carefully.
After cutting, slowly unfold the paper…and you’ll have a beautiful snowflake.
If you make them in colors that evoke snowflakes—white, blue, light blue, silver—and cover an entire wall with them, it will look very beautiful and impressive.
Angels and wreaths made of paper
Paper angels and wreath wall decorations are lovely, aren’t they? Angels made by folding white lace paper turn out delicate and beautiful.
It’s fun to cut the hair, too.
It’s a delightful craft that older adults can make together as well, and you’ll end up with angels full of personality.
Attach the angels to a holly wreath and you’ve got an adorable Christmas decoration! Display the finished pieces on the wall to create a warm atmosphere indoors and enjoy an even stronger sense of the winter season.
Try making them together with older adults and have fun while you craft.
New Year’s decoration with camellias and mizuhiki
Here’s an elegant New Year’s decoration idea using mizuhiki cords.
Prepare black construction paper, mizuhiki, beads, and felt pieces shaped like pine, bamboo, plum, and camellia.
First, cut the black construction paper into a rectangle.
Thread beads onto the mizuhiki cords and glue them onto the paper to evoke the image of a flowing river.
Next, attach the felt pine, bamboo, plum, and camellia pieces, and glue gold origami paper to the top and bottom edges of the base.
Finally, punch a hole and thread a string through it for hanging, and it’s complete.
The felt pine, bamboo, plum, and camellia pieces are made by cutting the parts from felt and gluing them together.
A photogenic snowman snow globe
A snowman with a snow globe look, featuring a base and dome made by cutting construction paper.
You can give the snowman a unique expression with crayons, and adding snow or stars in the background enhances the atmosphere.
Use double-sided tape to gently attach cotton for a fluffy effect, creating a three-dimensional feel as if the snowman is standing in the snow, making it even more festive.
The overall impression changes with the background color and the amount of cotton, allowing for flexible customization.
It’s easy for seniors to make and results in a highly satisfying wall decoration.
A perfect idea for capturing the feel of the winter season.
Rabbit snowball fight
When you think of winter rabbits, you might picture white ones, but rabbits made from pink construction paper are cute too.
This wall decoration features rabbits made of pink paper having a snowball fight.
Since it’s winter, try making rabbits dressed warmly with knit hats, mittens, and boots.
Because it’s a snowball fight, creating lots of rabbits battling it out could make for a fun wall display.
Rabbits laughing after hitting their target with a snowball, or crying after being hit, would be amusing, too.
Seniors, please enjoy making these while adding your own creative touches.
[Paper-cutting] Snowman Santa
![[Paper-cutting] Snowman Santa](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UcOAp2fIxsY/sddefault.jpg)
A snowman Santa made with papercutting that captivates with the beauty of its silhouette and playful use of color.
Using a template, cut out the shape of the snowman Santa, then apply torn red paper for the hat and outfit to give it a Santa-like look.
The key is the contrast between the clean outline and the rough texture of the torn-paper collage, which creates a warm expression.
Adding the hat’s trim or a snowy background will enhance the wintry feel even more.
The mood changes with your color choices and the size of the torn pieces, making it perfect for a brain workout.
A winter craft idea that sparks creativity.
Snowman made of origami – wall decoration
The origami snowman involves small parts to stick onto a backing sheet, making it a satisfying craft that’s also great for cognitive training for seniors.
You fold the main body from a single sheet of origami paper, then add a hat, scarf, and snowflakes made from different papers so you can enjoy mixing colors.
If you arrange cotton for the face as snow on the backing sheet, it adds three-dimensionality and softness for a warm finish.
Using a quarter of an 8-cut drawing paper sheet as the base gives just the right size, and displaying several side by side livens up the wall.
It’s a fun idea where individuality shines through color choices and layout.
