[For Seniors] Early-summer-themed wall decorations: Recommended ideas for July

Morning Glory ~Wire Craft~

Craft Idea: Morning Glory – Wire Craft (July–August, Summer) (Wall Decorations, Recreational Activities for Seniors, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service) (Origami, Flexible Wire) (DIY)

Let us introduce a summertime craft for seniors that offers a slightly mature, elegant atmosphere: the Morning Glory Wire Craft.

Using soft craft wire, you can freely bend and shape the petals and vines of morning glories, creating a delicate piece that highlights the beauty of clean lines.

By layering and attaching colored paper or tissue paper at the center of the flowers, you add dimension and color for a more authentic morning glory look.

As you intertwine wire-made leaves and vines, a dynamic design emerges.

The finished piece is perfect for hanging on a wall or displaying by a window.

It’s a refined, refreshing craft that invites focus and imagination.

“Sea Creatures Made with Bubble Wrap” is a wall decoration idea that lets older adults feel the summer season indoors.

By painting packing bubble wrap to depict octopuses, pufferfish, turtles, and more, this easy, imagination-sparking craft can also trigger memories of summer at the seaside.

In particular, it is expected to have reminiscence therapy effects that recall youthful beach outings and family trips, which can help maintain cognitive function.

Suzuran tape comes in a variety of colors.

It’s a flat plastic bag-type tape that expands the possibilities for crafts.

Prepare cutouts shaped like illustrations of sea creatures such as fish, octopuses, and jellyfish.

Attach them to several strands of Suzuran tape, hang them up, and you’re done.

Using blue or light blue Suzuran tape enhances the ocean atmosphere even more.

For the sea creatures, coloring pages are fine, or you can have seniors draw them.

You can also find sea creature illustrations online, which makes it easy to try.

Sea made of clay

@wincocjifredstephen

In colorful summer, it’s very simple to make beach scenery with clay #DIY

♬ original sound – wincocjifredstephen

In this season when we can sense the approach of summer, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the ocean even indoors? The idea that makes that wish come true is “An Ocean Made with Clay.” Using soft, fluffy clay, you can freely shape starfish, crabs, waves, and more for this wall decoration.

Its charm lies in spending unhurried time while moving your fingertips.

As you create, conversations naturally unfold—memories like “a beach trip from years ago” or “collecting shells with the kids”—leading to reminiscence therapy.

Once finished, hang your work on the wall and a little seaside scene will spread through the room, soothing everyone who sees it.

It’s a warm and enjoyable summer recreation that can also stimulate cognitive function.

You can choose where to display it to add a summery brightness and glamour, and the easy steps make it approachable.

Blot painting with aluminum foil

Sea creatures crafts: Perfect for summer wall displays in daycare, too! (For 4- and 5-year-olds)

Here’s an introduction to a bleeding/flow painting technique that makes you feel cooler just by looking at it.

Usually, you brush water onto drawing paper and then touch it with a paint-loaded brush, right? This time, we’ll use aluminum foil.

Color on the aluminum foil with water-based markers.

Spray water over the colored area, focusing on the center; two to three sprays are enough.

Place drawing paper—on which you’ve already sketched sea creatures—on top of the foil.

Hold the paper down with your hand, then lift it to see the water-based marker bleed and tint the paper.

Once your bleeding painting is done, cut out the shapes with scissors and hang them on blue raffia (suzuran) tape to create an underwater atmosphere indoors.

Older adults are likely to enjoy the ocean world you’ve made inside.
