Plum blossom wreath
The blooming of plum blossoms makes you feel the end of the cold winter and the arrival of spring, doesn’t it? Today, we’re introducing a “plum blossom wreath” that’s perfect for ushering in that hint of spring.
Both the wreath base and the plum blossoms can be made with origami.
Origami can be done while seated, so it’s recommended as a recreation activity for older adults.
Plum blossoms are familiar to many seniors, so this project may be easy for them to try.
It also encourages social interaction as people can chat while they work.
You can have fun arranging it by changing the colors of the origami, too.
By the way, when red and white plum blossoms bloom together on a single tree, it’s called “Genpei-zaki.” The name comes from the colors of the flags used by the Genji and Heike clans during their battles in the Heian period.
Easy hanging Hina dolls made from cardboard
You can easily make hanging Hina dolls using familiar materials like cardboard.
The steps are simple: cut the cardboard into an egg shape, draw the faces, and attach kimonos made from origami paper.
Even with this simple process, you’ll end up with very cute Emperor and Empress dolls.
You can also make small items that evoke the Peach Festival, such as peach blossoms and hishi-mochi, and hang everything on a string to finish.
If you add the three court ladies in the same way as the Emperor and Empress, it will create a lively atmosphere.
Since there are many steps that use your fingertips, you can also expect a brain-training effect.
They say the fingertips and the brain are connected by many nerves—so much so that the hands are called the “second brain.”
Pop-up cherry blossoms
From cherry trees laden with blossoms, one can sometimes feel a sense of luxury and impact.
The more cherry trees there are, the stronger that feeling can be, right? Let’s help older adults pick up on that atmosphere from the walls of facilities decorated with cherry-themed works.
We’ll make cherry blossoms of different sizes and colors out of construction paper.
Attach the tips of the petals you’ve made with glue.
The key is to be thoughtful about the order in which you attach them.
With a bit of planning, several blossoms can come together to create a three-dimensional finish.
Display them on the wall, and add some petals alongside to enhance the overall look even more.
Even seniors who find it difficult to go out may be able to feel the spirit of hanami by looking at these three-dimensional cherry decorations.
Cherry Blossom Fan
This wall decoration features a fan adorned with vibrant cherry blossom patterns, as if expressing the joy of spring’s arrival.
You can use store-bought paper with cherry blossom designs, but you can also create a beautiful handmade pattern by arranging cherry blossom-shaped cutouts of washi paper on a backing sheet and spraying over them.
A pink gradient looks lovely, and adding gold spray gives it an elegant finish.
Finally, glue the completed cherry blossom patterned paper to black construction paper, accordion-fold them together, and secure the end with a small piece of black construction paper—done!
Camellia wall hanging
A camellia wall decoration is a wonderful idea.
As a flower that heralds the end of winter, it sounds like a heartwarming craft.
You can cut paper into petal shapes or crumple tissue paper.
Since the tasks are simple, everyone can work together in a friendly, relaxed way.
It’s also nice that each person can go at their own pace.
Seeing the finished camellia decorations will surely fill you with a sense of accomplishment.
You’ll be able to enjoy the changing seasons and feel the arrival of spring in the room.
Let’s make camellias bloom together and brighten up our time at day service.
onion
Many senior care facilities change their wall decorations with each season.
Some staff may be troubled because the walls end up looking similar every year.
So this time, we’d like to introduce a slightly unusual onion-themed wall decoration.
Sweet and delicious new onions are said to be in season from March to May.
Let’s try making lifelike onions together with the seniors! Crumple a sheet of copy paper into a ball, then insert leaves made from similarly crumpled green origami.
Use pale orange origami to represent the onion skin.
Tie on a string, and your realistic onion is complete! If you also create eaves or a hanging rack to suspend them from, the atmosphere becomes even more authentic.
Calendar in patchwork
This is a charming patchwork calendar that makes great use of lots of little square fabric scraps.
The quilted texture is soft and soothing—just looking at it is comforting, isn’t it? The colors and patterns that change day by day are pop and fun, and if you add snap buttons to each date piece, you can use it all year round.
When you attach the dates with the buttons, it’s even more enjoyable if you think of exciting events as you go—like “The 3rd is Hinamatsuri” or “The 14th is White Day!”
