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.
five-tier Hina-doll display
These days, it’s become rare to see impressive Hina doll displays like five-tier or seven-tier sets.
Some older people may feel a bit lonely, thinking, “They used to be displayed in so many places.” In that case, why not use time during day-service recreation to have staff and participants work together to create a magnificent five-tier display on the wall? If you prepare the base tiers and small parts in advance, everyone can have fun decorating while discussing how to arrange everything!
Tulip hina
Tulips are one of the essentials of spring, and the way their brightly colored flowers bloom so vigorously conveys the joy of the season.
This craft combines tulip blossoms with Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) motifs to create a project that feels distinctly springlike.
The base is construction paper cut into a tulip shape; onto this, you add origami clothing and decorations to complete the Hinamatsuri theme.
For the two main figures, make slits and then glue them together to give them a three-dimensional look so they stand out from the rest—that’s the key point.
Finish it off with leaf parts and surrounding tulips to create an overall festive look.
Origami Camellia
Making camellias out of origami is truly lovely.
As you move your fingers, it feels like your heart is enriched, too.
Camellias, which are at their best in winter, can give you a sense of spring arriving a little early.
Crafting a camellia from a single sheet of origami paper might seem difficult, but if you fold it slowly and carefully, you’ll end up with a beautiful piece.
Using gradient origami paper can make your camellia look real.
Yellow camellias are said to be rare.
How about chatting about fun tidbits like these while everyone enjoys making them together?
peach blossoms
These are origami peach blossoms that are perfect for wall decorations during the Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival) season.
Cut origami paper into a pentagon, then fold it into a pinwheel-like shape, layering the folds so that it forms five three-dimensional petals.
Secure it with glue so it doesn’t open, and draw the pistil and stamens in the center to finish! The folding method is a bit intricate, so it’s recommended for seniors who enjoy origami and fine handiwork.
If the folding is too difficult, don’t worry about folding—try an easier method by cutting out individual petals and gluing them together instead.
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!
field of rapeseed flowers
A wall decoration themed around a field of rapeseed blossoms is a great idea for creating a bright, spring-like atmosphere.
Cut origami paper in half, fold it into small sections, and crease it.
Cut along the creases to form a square, then round the edges to shape the petals.
The key is to add a gentle curl to the petals.
Place the pieces you’ve made on top of a ball of crumpled origami paper.
For the stems, cut paper into rectangles, bend them into a bow shape, and give them a curve.
Make two types of leaves and add wrinkles to recreate a more realistic rapeseed field.
The gluing process also serves as fine motor exercise and is recommended for those who enjoy detailed work.
