I worked at a day service for seven years and obtained my Certified Care Worker qualification in 2019. I have provided meal assistance and bathing assistance, as well as led recreational activities that involve physical movement and cognitive stimulation. I enjoy drawing and crafting. My motto is: “With a smile, anything is possible!” and I try to live joyfully every day. I’m also doting on my beloved Chihuahua.

Wall decorations at senior facilities like day services change every month.

Many of them reflect the seasons, which really lifts the spirits.

This time, we’re featuring wall decorations for seniors with a focus on Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day)! While many decorations center on the imperial dolls—the Odairi-sama and Ohina-sama—there are many different ways to make them.

Choose your favorite style.

If you display plum or peach blossoms together, the space will instantly feel like spring.

After you’ve made and put them up, enjoy Hinamatsuri together while admiring the wall decorations.

Felt Flower Hanging Ornament

A no-sew, easy-to-make “felt flower hanging decoration.” Felt has a warm look and can express softness.

It’s easy to handle, so it’s recommended for seniors to make as well! The method is simple: just cut felt into petal shapes and attach them with glue or a hot glue gun.

Inspired by Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day), combining colors like pink, white, yellow, and wine red would be lovely.

Thread a string through and hang it up to instantly transform a plain wall into a springtime scene.

In conclusion

Hinamatsuri wall decorations all make you feel festive, don’t they? Even if making three-dimensional hina dolls is difficult, there are plenty of relatively easy options you can hang on the wall using origami, paper plates, and the like. It’s also a great activity to do at home together with your grandchildren.
