Setsubun! Oni head
Speaking of February, it’s Setsubun.
How about making a slightly different wall decoration this year? This wall display is a unique idea that focuses not on the ogre’s face, but on the ogre’s head.
Stack seven sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, staple the center, then round off both ends with scissors.
Gently open it without applying force.
Once you have a round head shape, attach horns made from yellow origami.
Make the ogre’s pants and the holly-and-sardine charm with origami as well.
If seniors make the ogre heads in their favorite colors, the space will be filled with a bright, colorful atmosphere.
Wreath of plum blossoms and bush warblers
February is that time when, even in the cold, you can start to sense a hint of spring.
The bush warbler and plum blossoms also evoke the arrival of a warmer season amid the chill.
Let’s make a wreath out of origami so that older adults can enjoy the feeling of the seasons too.
We’ll fold the base of the wreath from origami paper as well.
You can make it without using glue or scissors—just folding.
If you’re good at origami, you’ll likely enjoy working on this.
Finish by adding plum blossoms and bush warblers folded from origami to the wreath.
Display it in your room and you’ll instantly feel a spring atmosphere.
Camellia decoration made with origami
Camellia flowers that evoke the arrival of spring are a perfect motif for a February wall display.
Cut two sheets of origami paper into circles, fold them in half, then fold into thirds.
Trim both corners with scissors to suggest petals.
Make a slit in the center, layer the two pieces so you end up with five petals, and glue them together to create a three-dimensional plum blossom shape.
Make another flower the same way, then attach the two so the petals alternate.
Create the flower’s center from yellow origami paper and attach it to complete the camellia.
In addition to the camellias, make paper fans and leaves, and secure them to a string.
If you attach them to a tree branch as shown in the video, they become an even lovelier hanging decoration.
February karakuri wall display: Ehomaki
A whimsical “karakuri hekimen” that surprises and delights viewers.
For February, let’s make a karakuri hekimen with an eho-maki (lucky sushi roll) motif! You can buy felt, magnets, and a sushi rolling mat at a 100-yen shop.
Fold cardboard into a tube and attach magnets inside.
Prepare four of these tubes, then wrap them in red, yellow, light green, and brown felt to create the fillings.
Combine black and white felt for the rice and nori, attach the fillings at equal intervals, and secure the rolling mat—your eho-maki is complete.
Make plum blossoms, an oni (ogre), and beans with a wooden masu box for decorations to fully capture the Setsubun season! A karakuri hekimen that inspires surprise and wonder—why not give it a try?
Valentine’s Day wall decorations
February 14 is Valentine’s Day.
Many older adults may receive chocolates from family or close acquaintances.
Let’s help amplify this sweet, love-filled occasion with decorations on indoor walls.
Cut red or pink paper tape into lengths of about 10 to 40 centimeters.
Take two strips of the same length and stick their ends together to form a heart shape.
You can also make ribbons in various lengths, creating both large and small sizes.
You can stick them directly onto the wall, or arrange them on poster paper to create a lovely piece.
Use these ideas as inspiration to make Valentine’s Day wall decorations that will excite anyone who sees them.
daffodil
Daffodils, which bloom with white or yellow flowers in winter, are also at their best in February.
Seeing daffodils blooming earnestly in the cold gives a sense of delicacy as well as strength.
Daffodil artworks that, when finished, take on a paper-cutout style express that atmosphere very well.
The process includes steps such as folding construction paper with fine slits and attaching pieces with glue.
Older adults can enjoy making the piece while moving their fingers a lot.
It can also be expected to serve as brain training and finger dexterity practice.
Besides wall decorations, it’s also nice to create them by attaching them to a calendar.
Narcissus wall decoration
The vivid contrast of white flowers and green leaves in this daffodil decoration will instantly brighten up a space just by hanging it on the wall.
Let’s make the flowers by cutting white and yellow origami paper into quarter-size pieces.
As shown in the video, it helps to mark the fold lines and cut-off areas with a pen.
Once you’ve made the stem, leaves, and frame out of origami as well, attach the flowers and you’re done.
The best part is that this piece is easy to make using only origami paper.
Incorporate daffodils into your February craft project and enjoy the soothing charm of a lovely wall decoration.
