For Seniors: Recommended Wall Decoration Ideas for March

Bush warblers and Japanese white-eyes

Origami Warbler and Japanese White-eye folding tutorial (niceno1)

These wall decorations of bush warblers and Japanese white-eyes evoke the arrival of spring.

After folding the birds from origami paper, draw small, cute black eyes for the bush warbler, and distinctive white-and-black contrasting eyes for the Japanese white-eye.

They can stand on their own, so you can display them on a surface, or pair them with other spring-themed decorations like cherry or plum blossoms on the wall.

By feeling the season through crafting, even those who find it hard to go out might think, “This spring, maybe I’ll take a walk and listen to the birdsong!”

onion

[Craft Idea] Onion Crafting (May, Spring) (Senior Activities) (Early Childhood Education) (Wall Decorations) (Vegetables) (Scenery)

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.

dandelion

Easy and cute March wall decoration with pattern: “Dandelion”

When you spot dandelions by the roadside, it really feels like spring is on its way, doesn’t it? March still brings plenty of cold days, but while we eagerly await the warmer weather, why not try making a dandelion wall decoration? Create the yellow flower, the green stem, and the calyx from colored construction paper, glue the pieces together, and then decorate the wall with them alongside little butterflies fluttering around the dandelions.

Dandelions may seem complicated in shape, but they’re easy to make if you use craft templates.

It’s also a great idea to pre-cut the parts and ask older adults to assemble them into dandelions!

Origami Camellia

[Origami] How to fold a 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

[Origami] Peach Blossom: How to Make an Origami “Peach Blossom.”

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.
