[For Seniors] Color Your Care Facility’s Spring: Wall Decoration Ideas

In many elderly care facilities, such as day service centers, wall decorations are changed each month to match the season.

It’s also enjoyable to have the seniors help make them and decorate together.

In this article, we’ll share spring wall decoration ideas designed for older adults!

There are many motifs that come to mind when you think of spring: cute flowers like cherry blossoms and dandelions, and themes related to the Doll Festival (Hinamatsuri), among others.

A common feature is that they’re bright and charming.

Use lovely wall decorations that bring a sense of spring indoors to brighten up your facility’s walls.

Cherry blossoms are an essential motif of spring in Japan, and their gentle pink evokes the warmth of the season.

This decoration strings together cherry blossom motifs to express the soft spring sunlight.

Fold origami and cut it so the patterns appear; first draw clear guide marks, then cut along them, and make the same shapes in various colors.

Finally, connect the blossoms to complete it—aim for a color gradient, and be sure to adjust the length as well.

Soft, slightly translucent tissue paper.

This time, let’s imagine it as fish scales and make a carp streamer (koinobori).

For the koinobori base, cut colored construction paper to shape.

For the scales, tear the tissue paper into rectangles, fold each one in half, and twist the base.

Glue the scales onto the base in staggered rows, and your koinobori is complete! Depending on the colors of the construction paper and tissue paper, each piece will have its own unique character.

Display the finished work on a wall to enjoy the season, or attach it to a long straw and use it as a handheld koinobori.

Transparent Koinobori

[Easy and fun♪ Adorable translucent Koinobori] We had lots of clear round stickers (sealing stickers) at home, so we used them as fish scales and made a koinobori windsock 🎏 Designing the scale patterns yourself and sticking them on one by one is perfect for developing creativity, concentration, and fine motor skills ☺️ My 5-year-old daughter said, “I want to color neatly!” and filled in all the scales without leaving any gaps 🖋 (How they draw really shows each child’s personality, which is fun to see.) She also wanted to draw the koinobori outline herself, and when she did, it turned into a cute-shaped koinobori again! (Kids 4 and up might be able to do this part too ✨) If you don’t have clear round stickers, I think semi-transparent round stickers like washi tape-style ones would also look cute ☺️ Give it a try as a Children’s Day craft♪ ★Materials★ ✳︎ Clear file folder ✳︎ Gold origami paper (for the pinwheel parts) ✳︎ White round stickers ✳︎ Clear round stickers (sealing stickers) ✳︎ 1 wooden chopstick ★Tools★ ✳︎ Water-based pens ✳︎ Oil-based color pens ✳︎ Scissors ✳︎ Tissues ✳︎ Clear tape ****************************************** Creating daily with my 6-year-old daughter♪ Original craft recipes for parents and kids to enjoy (We also sell craft kits and digital craft data 🌸) Utatan’s Simple Crafts ⇨ @utatan_simple_crafts Thank you 🐰✨ ******************************************work#I love craftsChildren's DayChildren’s Day craft#May production#Childcare CraftingAfter-school day service#SeniorActivities#AtHomePlay#StayHomePlay Project#KoinoboriKoinobori (carp streamers)Life with childrenLife with childrenParentingKoinobori Craft

A skeleton koi-nobori you’ll want to display where the light shines! Just cut a clear file into the shape of a koi-nobori and stick on colored round stickers as the scales—an easy idea anyone can try.

Use transparent round stickers for the scales, and add any colors or patterns you like with a permanent marker.

Draw the tail fin’s pattern with a pen, and use opaque round stickers for the eyes.

Once your koi-nobori is finished, attach it to a pair of chopsticks, then top it off with a pinwheel made from a clear file, and you’re done!

Two-color felt koi-nobori

[Care Recreation] Easy! Carp streamers made with two colors of felt — just cut, paste, and weave
Two-color felt koi-nobori

Let’s make a carp streamer with felt that gives a warm, cozy feel.

Once you’ve prepared felt in different colors for the body, cut both pieces into a “V” shape with a 5 cm width.

After cutting, apply glue to both ends and stick them together, then make two slits along the crease so they’re the same width.

Stack the two pieces so that the slitted sections form a lattice pattern, and use the initially glued area to create the face and tail fin.

For the eyes, use eye stickers, and wrap a thinly cut strip of white felt around the mouth.

Just looking at it will brighten your mood! This is a sparkly hanging carp streamer decoration.

Since the base uses cardboard, after cutting it into the shape of a carp streamer, hollow out the inner scale sections.

Next, cover the entire base with white masking tape.

Then wrap your favorite patterned masking tape over it to decorate.

For the scales, use pipe cleaners threaded with beads.

Thread the pipe cleaners through the gaps in the cardboard in a zigzag pattern, adding beads and securing them as you go.

Finally, stick on the eye stickers and it’s done!

Chirimen craft: Koinobori (carp streamers)

Chirimen craft: Koinobori (carp streamers)

Because of its distinctive texture, chirimen fabric strongly evokes a traditional Japanese atmosphere.

This piece uses that Japanese-feeling fabric to make a koi nobori (carp streamer), clearly emphasizing that it’s a Japanese event.

The key point is the scale pattern; using it well gives the koi nobori a luxurious look.

Layering various fabrics to add volume further enhances the splendor when they’re displayed together.

It also seems fun to think about what shapes would best bring out the qualities of chirimen.

A stylish carp streamer made with sheer organza ribbon.

You can also attach it to clothing as a corsage.

First, cut the ribbon to twice the finished length.

Then fold it in half and secure it with double-sided tape.

The fold will be the head, so add an eye there, and cut the opposite end with scissors to make the tail fin.

After that, decorate it cutely with beads and lace to your taste! Attach felt to the back, then add a circular piece cut from a milk carton and a corsage pin on top, and you’re done.
