[For Care Facilities] Let’s Enjoy the Summer! A Collection of Wall Decoration Ideas

Let’s make fireworks with paper quilling

Let's make fireworks with paper quilling—easy and fun with simple twirls!

Fireworks put you in an emotionally rich mood and provide a wonderful kind of stimulation, don’t they? They’re especially beneficial for the brains of older adults.

As we go about our daily lives, it’s easy to lose a sense of contrast and of the seasons, so seasonal events are very important.

When you make a fireworks craft, you can imagine the summer that’s just around the corner.

This time, I’ll introduce a fireworks craft using origami and bamboo skewers.

First, wrap the origami paper around the bamboo skewer.

Then attach them to construction paper to depict the fireworks.

The steps are very simple, yet the result is a splendid display of fireworks, so I highly recommend it.

Tanabata Decorations: Sputtering Edition

Tanabata Decorations: Splatter Paint to Make the Milky Way | [Tanabata Craft] [100-Yen Store DIY] [Easy Craft] #100yen #DAISO #DIY #Recreation #DayService #Tanabata #ElderlyCare

Some senior care facilities may hold Tanabata events or activities in the summer.

Older adults might also hang tanzaku—small paper strips with their wishes written on them—on bamboo leaves.

How about adding a little twist to those tanzaku? Try attaching a backing sheet with a Milky Way-inspired design.

With a backing, you can hang the tanzaku directly on the wall.

To create the Milky Way pattern, the spattering technique is recommended.

It’s a method where you flick paint from a brush to create a scattered effect.

The fine speckles of paint look just like the Milky Way.

If you’re concerned about paint splashing around, try using a tool made from a milk carton or similar to help contain the splatter.

Tanabata garland

Easy Tanabata Decorations: How to Make a Tanabata Garland with Origami — Crafts for Preschoolers, Elementary School Children, and Senior Activities

Here’s an introduction to making a Tanabata garland using transparent origami or transparent design paper.

Think of the Milky Way and the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi shining in the night sky.

We’ll use store-bought star-shaped cards that evoke those stars.

Of course, you can also make your own by cutting star shapes out of thick paper.

Cut the design paper to match the star-shaped cards.

Similarly, adding pieces cut into circles or diamonds will make the decoration even lovelier.

Make streamers as well and paste them onto the star-shaped cards.

Attach all the decorative pieces to a string and connect them together to complete the garland.

This charming Tanabata craft is something older adults can also enjoy making.

Tanabata Wreath Made with Origami

[Origami] Tanabata: How to Make a Bamboo Wreath

We’d like to introduce a Tanabata wreath you can make with origami.

When you hear “Tanabata,” what do you think of? Orihime and Hikoboshi, stars, bamboo? Let’s fold origami based on those Tanabata images and attach them to a wreath.

There are many origami designs for Orihime and Hikoboshi, ranging from simple to intricate.

An origami wreath is made by combining identical wreath components.

It seems like a lovely activity to do with older adults while reminiscing about Tanabata memories.

Watercolor making

How to paint fireworks ✨ #transparentwatercolor #watercolormaking #watercolor #watercolortips #howto #tips #art #illustration #fireworks

We’d like to introduce “Watercolor Making,” an idea for creating gentle, atmospheric wall art that you can enjoy by playing with overlapping bleeds.

By simply using water-diluted paints to let colors bleed and blur, you can express a magical summer fireworks sky.

Tools like brushes, sponges, and tissues can create charming textures, so even those who aren’t confident in drawing can enjoy it.

Each finished piece has a strong presence on its own, and when displayed on a wall, it creates a very soft summer landscape.

It’s a relaxing, hands-on activity that’s both fun and soothing for the heart.
