[For seniors] Snowman crafts to decorate January walls: fun ideas using origami, paper plates, and papercuts (41–50)
A three-dimensional snowman made of paper
This is a curved, three-dimensional snowman wall decoration.
Stack two sheets of white origami paper and fold them in half.
Apply glue to the outside of the crease on the top sheet, then attach it to the center of the bottom sheet.
Next, while still folded, cut both sheets together into the shape of a snowman.
Draw eyes on the doubled snowman, decorate it with origami cutouts such as circles, snowflakes, and a hat, and attach a triangular-prism nose made from a small strip of origami paper.
Your origami snowman is complete.
There’s no need to learn any complex folding, so it’s easy for seniors to try as well!

This wreath is full of wintry charm, combining origami like snowmen and snowflakes.
Use origami paper with winter-themed patterns or gift wrap to create a hexagonal wreath base.
Then simply arrange and attach winter-themed pieces made from origami or paper cutouts in a balanced way, and it’s done! Having seniors make each piece from scratch might be a bit challenging.
It’s a good idea to prepare the pieces in advance and let everyone enjoy sticking them onto the base.
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.
