June often brings a stretch of rain and a damp, muggy feel.

The rain is a blessing, but it can make this season uncomfortable, especially for older adults.

How about brightening up gloomy June days with some wall decorations for a refreshing change of mood?

Here are some recommended wall decoration ideas for June.

Hydrangeas, bellflowers, and gardenias come into their prime with refreshing colors, and frogs and snails also evoke the rainy season.

Wall decorations with a Father’s Day theme may even bring back fond memories for some people.

It’s lovely to make something to decorate your own room or to give as a gift, but creating a single piece together with everyone is also highly recommended.

Enjoy June with a touch of creativity.

After the rain

After the rain

The rainy season tends to bring many wet days.

With the hope of catching a few breaks of sunshine, here are some wall decoration ideas themed around “after the rain.” In the hydrangeas, a folded umbrella and a smiling teru teru bozu make it feel as if the rain has just cleared.

Making the umbrella, hydrangeas, and paper chains from origami involves some fine work, but it’s great for hand and finger training.

Don’t push yourself—go at your own pace.

It’s also recommended to divide roles and create them as a group so you can enjoy chatting while you work.

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)

Cherries come into season during the rainy period.

How about making a wall decoration with the hope that delicious cherries will grow and that we’ll get to eat them this year too? It’s easy to make.

Roll red origami paper into balls for the fruit, roll green origami paper into thin strips for the stems, and cut out leaves with scissors.

Finally, glue everything together and you’re done.

If you also make a tree out of construction paper and stick on the cherries and leaves, you’ll have a splendid wall decoration.

After enjoying it as a decoration, you can also use it for a cherry-picking game, so it’s highly recommended.

June bride

June bride

Introducing a wall decoration with a June bride theme, surrounded by beautiful roses.

Prepare tissue paper in your favorite colors; crumple it, then shape it to create rose blossoms.

Make the leaves in the same way.

The more varieties of flower colors you use, the more vibrant it will look.

Cut out silhouettes of a man and a woman from black construction paper, then paste them onto a pale-colored background along with the flowers and leaves.

You’ll have a lovely couple encircled by flowers.

Since the process isn’t complicated, it’s easy to use as occupational therapy in senior facilities, and it might even spark lively conversations like, “Back when I was young…”

Rainbow, umbrella, hydrangea, raindrops

[Paper Garland Craft Ideas] June Wall Decorations – Rainbow, Umbrellas, Hydrangeas, Raindrops (Senior Recreation, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Crafts, DIY, Paper Folding, Origami)

Rainbow, umbrella, hydrangea, raindrops

Here are some wall decoration ideas that fully capture the rainy season, featuring rainbows, umbrellas, hydrangeas, and raindrops.

All you need are origami paper, paper tape, and patterned paper.

You can create three-dimensional decorations for the rainbow and hydrangeas simply by repeating easy steps, and designing the umbrellas is fun because you can choose your favorite colors and patterns.

Activities that use fine motor skills help stimulate the brain and may be effective in preventing cognitive decline.

In senior care facilities, these projects are also recommended as group activities to encourage interaction and deepen connections.

Marigold

Marigold

Marigolds bloom in bright yellows and oranges even in the rainy season.

Let’s make origami marigolds that can blow away the gloom of June.

By folding and cutting origami paper, you can create marigold petals.

First, roll the paper into a ball and crumple it to give the petals more texture.

Make several petals and layer them.

This will express the marigold’s characteristic multiple layers of petals.

Make some leaves as well and display them together with the marigold flowers.

A room with marigolds has a bright, cheerful atmosphere—perfect for lifting the spirits of older adults.

Iris flowers swaying in the wind

Iris flowers swaying in the wind

How about a wall decoration of Japanese irises that sway beautifully in the breeze? These irises are made using the pinwheel-making method.

Use blue, light blue, and purple origami or construction paper to create the pinwheels.

If you attach small pieces to represent the inner petals, they’ll look even more like iris flowers.

Since irises bloom along watersides such as marshes and ponds, a light blue background works well.

Make leaves from green construction paper and place the flowers at the tips.

At this time, we recommend fastening them with clear push pins.

On nice days, let in some fresh air and enjoy watching the irises gently sway.

hydrangea

[Senior Activity] June Hydrangea Wall Decoration [Easy]

hydrangea

Hydrangeas are the quintessential flowers that bloom around June.

Their purples, blues, pinks, and whites brighten up the damp, rainy season! How about using hydrangeas for a June wall decoration? Even if continuous rain keeps you from going out as much as you’d like, decorating the wall with colorful hydrangeas is sure to lift your spirits! Make a stamp by wrapping a rubber band around a makeup sponge in a cross shape, apply watercolor paint, and press it onto shoji paper.

Once it’s dry, cut it into circles and crumple them lightly to add dimension.

Mixing paints can produce unexpected and interesting colors, so this project is also great for craft activities at day service centers!
