[For Seniors] Recommended in March! Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Hanging ornament of an origami kusudamaNEW!
A colorful kusudama hanging decoration made from origami in various colors is perfect for displaying around Hina dolls! First, fold the origami in half vertically, then fold both sides toward the crease you made and unfold.
Next, fold two corners on a diagonal into small triangles.
Then again, fold both sides toward the initial center crease.
From the short edge, fold toward the center to make a triangle, and tuck the folded section inside.
Once you’ve made all the necessary creases, one kusudama unit is complete! Make many of these units and assemble them to form the kusudama.
Thread a string through it and hang it from a wooden board to display.
Hanging ornaments of oshie-style Hina dollsNEW!
This is a hanging ornament made using the oshie technique, which creates dimensional pictures by layering pieces of fabric.
You attach various decorations—such as the Empress and Emperor dolls and plum blossoms—to a core, separating them into parts and sticking them on in order.
Once the pieces are finished, connect them with strings and assemble them onto the base to complete it! Using chirimen crepe fabric adds a traditional Japanese feel.
Attach a string to the base and display it on a wall or door.
You can enjoy arranging the decorations and their placement as you like, resulting in a highly original piece.
No-sew felt hanging decorationNEW!
The no-sew felt hanging ornaments are lovely pieces that give a warm, cozy feel.
Use 5.5 cm × 4 cm felt and chirimen fabric scraps to make small birds.
Adding metallic yarn creates a neat accent and makes them look festive.
For the eyes, simply paint rhinestones black for an easy solution.
Use small pieces of pink, white, and green felt to make hishi-mochi, and use small oval felt pieces and chirimen scraps to make zori sandals.
After crafting three-dimensional cherry blossoms, use a bamboo skewer and embroidery thread to assemble them into hanging ornaments.
Soft-colored felt and chirimen fabrics blend well with interior decor, so they’re recommended.
Give it a try!

dandelion fluffNEW!
When you see dandelions in bloom, you can’t help but think, “Spring has come,” right? Older adults may also feel the arrival of spring.
In spring, you might make dandelion crafts as part of recreation activities.
It’s also a great idea to make dandelion fluff and display it together with the dandelion pieces.
If you use them as a wall decoration, they’ll create a lovely atmosphere indoors.
Seeing the displayed dandelions and fluff may bring back memories for some seniors—of their childhood or moments with family.
Be sure to enjoy a pleasant time together while sharing those memories.
Tulips and DaisiesNEW!
When it comes to flowers that bloom in spring, tulips are a classic—their richly varied, colorful blossoms capture the excitement of the season.
This decoration features colorful tulips made from origami, arranged side by side to look just like a flower field.
The key to the flowers is to crease them firmly so they take on a three-dimensional shape, creating a cute, rounded look.
It’s also recommended to place daisy (marguerite) motifs around them; consider the balance as you arrange everything to make it look even more beautiful.

How about decorating an entire wall with springtime flowers you can easily make from origami? The method is super simple: make two parts by accordion-folding the paper, rounding the corners, and folding each piece in half, then glue them together and fan them out 360 degrees.
You’ll get a cute, fluttery-looking flower.
You can stick them on the wall as they are, or create a tree trunk and arrange them around it to look like cherry blossoms—both turn out beautifully.
With few steps and a simple folding process, it’s an activity that even older adults can enjoy with ease.
Hinamatsuri Flower BallNEW!
A flower ball you can hang from the ceiling or simply place on a table as a decoration.
Even with items from the 100-yen shop, you can make something lovely and cute that’s perfect for Hinamatsuri.
Use a glue gun to attach artificial flowers to a craft foam sphere.
Try using artificial peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, or other pink flowers.
Add a ribbon, and it’s done.
Since it’s made from lightweight materials, it might be easy for seniors to handle and create as well.
You can get everything you need at the 100-yen shop, so give it a try.
