[For seniors] Snowman crafts to decorate January walls: fun ideas using origami, paper plates, and papercuts (41–50)
A colorful snowman made with yarn and paper plates
This is a simple snowman wall decoration you can make by wrapping yarn around a paper plate.
Cut out the center of the paper plate to make a ring, then wrap it with yarn in any color you like.
Draw the eyes and mouth on the cut-out center piece and attach it on top of the ring.
Finally, add a hat made from origami paper to finish it off.
You can also cut two strips of origami paper, form them into loops, and stack them vertically to make a small snowman.
Attach it to the center of the ring, and it will look like a mini snowman is dangling in the middle, making it even cuter!
snowman with a hat

This is an origami snowman wearing a hat that can be made from a single sheet.
Fold the paper into thirds, turn it sideways, then fold it into an S-shape, again dividing it into thirds.
Unfold it once, then continue folding so that the white back side becomes the snowman and the colored side becomes the hat.
Finally, attach button parts cut from origami into small circles, draw the eyes and mouth, and you’re done! When you first fold into thirds, instead of using the sheet as is, cut it and work with one-third size; this reduces bulk and makes folding easier.
It’s a bit complex, but those who enjoy detailed work will likely find it fun.
Snowman made with a paper plate

This is an easy wall decoration of a snowman that you can make using paper plates as they are.
Connect two paper plates with double-sided tape to form a snowman shape.
Glue a trapezoid-cut piece of paper to the top for the head area, then use stickers, origami paper, and pens to complete the facial features.
Finally, cut a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) in half and tape it from the back to secure it, and you’re done.
With simple steps of cutting and sticking, it’s perfect for craft activities in facilities! Prepare plenty of decorative stickers and more, and have fun making original snowmen together.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced many wall decorations of snowmen that you can make with familiar materials like paper plates, origami paper, and cotton.
Even in chilly January, making cute snowmen with your hands can warm your heart.
Enjoy cutting, gluing, and drawing as you complete an original piece that showcases your own personality.
A space surrounded by snowmen will surely bring warm, wintertime memories.
