[For Seniors] Recommended for March! Wall Decoration Ideas (41–50)
Plump Strawberry
Spring is the season that overcomes winter and brings abundant harvests, and we find more chances to see colors that feel warm.
This decoration features a strawberry motif that evokes the warmth of spring, layered with leaves for a colorful look.
The key is to crease both the leaf parts and the strawberry parts firmly—create them so they have a three-dimensional feel, then layer them together.
Treat each layered strawberry-and-leaf as a single set, and enhance the sense of depth by experimenting with how you arrange those sets.
Balancing with the background is also an important point for conveying warmth.
Hinamatsuri wreath
A single paper plate transforms into a Hinamatsuri wreath! Cut a circular hole out of the center of the plate and decorate the rim with origami paper, stickers, and more.
Punch a hole and thread a ribbon through it so you can hang it on the wall.
Cut the removed center piece in half, and attach Japanese-patterned origami to each half to make the kimono for the Ohinasama (Empress) and Odairisama (Emperor).
Then assemble the faces and kimono parts from colored construction paper, and attach them so they sit in the middle of the wreath.
You’ll end up with an irresistibly cute wreath featuring the Empress and Emperor snuggled together at the center.
Plum blossom ornament
Plum blossom decorations are lovely, aren’t they? Making them together with seniors feels exciting as we sense the arrival of spring.
Using colored construction paper, we can create plum blossoms in a variety of hues, and just looking at them lifts the spirits.
Doing detailed work with origami or chirimen crafts is fun, too.
The appeal of three-dimensional decorations and wreaths is that everyone can share ideas and work together, and the joy when they’re finished is something special.
It seems like it will be a wonderful time to share the delights of spring.
Sumire
Violets are spring flowers that bloom from March to May.
When it comes to spring, bright-colored rapeseed blossoms and cherry blossoms tend to steal the spotlight, but there are surely many people who say they prefer the refined purple of violets.
To make a violet wall decoration, cut purple origami into small petal shapes, gently curve each piece, and layer them to create a three-dimensional look.
If you prepare two versions—one viewed from the front and one from the side—and display them together, the result will look even more realistic.
Highly recommended!
Hina dolls
With Hinamatsuri approaching, let’s try making hina dolls by hand with origami! The kimono, which looks complicated, is easy to create by gluing two sheets of origami together like the outer and lining fabrics, cutting them into a rounded shape, and simply folding them over like a kimono overlap.
Make kimono pieces in colors and patterns suited to the Empress (Ohinasama), the Emperor (Odairisama), and the three court ladies (Sannin Kanjo), then attach the faces to complete your origami hina dolls! If you prepare various patterned papers—such as chiyogami or traditional Japanese designs—you’ll be able to enjoy making hina dolls in your favorite style.
butterfly
This butterfly decoration looks like an intricate, three-dimensional piece, but it’s actually very easy to make! Cut construction paper into the shape of a butterfly and mark the areas you want to indent.
Using a ballpoint pen that no longer writes, press firmly along the marks to create creases, then indent those areas and flatten the center to fix it in place with glue.
For the antennae, use a hairpin with rounded tips.
Secure the hairpin at the center with a thin strip of paper, and in no time, your butterfly is complete.
Translucent Garland
A translucent garland that creates a light, springlike atmosphere.
Cut translucent origami lengthwise into strips one-eighth the width.
Glue each piece together alternately top and bottom in sequence, offsetting them diagonally as you go to create a soft, petal-like design.
Make a second set of the same pieces and attach it to the first to give the garland a three-dimensional look.
Punch holes and thread clips through to finish it as a hanging decoration.
Because it uses translucent origami, the soft colors shine beautifully when light passes through.
