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

A summer so hot you break into a sweat from the morning.

Things like swimming in the ocean, shaved ice, and summer festivals may come to mind.

However, it seems that many older adults find it difficult to sense heat and the change of seasons.

So this time, we’re sharing ideas for wall decorations that let people feel summer even inside a facility.

We’ve gathered works featuring iconic summer plants and animals like sunflowers and fireflies, as well as seasonal scenes such as the sea and fireworks.

By enjoying the season through wall displays and reminiscing about summers past, we hope everyone can savor their days more deeply.

Please use these craft activity ideas with older adults to help create enjoyable moments together.

Summer wall decoration

A summer-themed wall display lets you feel the season and brightens the mood, doesn’t it? This is a wall art project that’s easy for seniors to make, too.

How about a design with sunflowers stretching energetically up toward the blue sky? For the sunflower blossoms, tissue paper or colored paper works well.

For the stems and leaves, crumple paper into a ball, open it up, and cut it into shape after giving it a wrinkled texture—this brings out a natural, plant-like feel! Using materials like crepe sheets that already have a wrinkled texture makes it easy, so give it a try.

Adding clouds, the sun, and summer insects will make the display look even more charming!

In July, Mount Fuji’s official climbing season begins, right? How about a mountain-themed wall decoration for a day-service craft activity to mark the occasion? Some older adults may have hiking experience, too.

It would be wonderful to have them share their memories while making the mountain! The method is very simple—just cut construction paper into a mountain shape.

Using several colors rather than just one will likely enhance the design.

You could also collaborate with elements like the sun, clouds, birds, or a line from a haiku or poem in the background to create an even more interesting wall display.

Morning glory leaves and vines made with origami

Origami [Morning Glory Leaf and Vine] How to make Origami Morning Glory Leaf & Vine*
Morning glory leaves and vines made with origami

This project combines not only morning glory flowers but also leaves and vines.

By carefully layering parts like flowers and leaves—crafted with clever reverse folds—you can aim for a three-dimensional, soft look.

While the flowers and leaves tend to stand out, paying close attention to the length and shape of the vines will further enhance the beauty of the morning glory.

Create the flowers and leaves with reverse folds for a three-dimensional effect, then decorate them with vines made by twisting thinly cut strips of origami paper using a simple process.

It’s also recommended to consider how the vines overlap and finish them as if they’re wrapping around other decorations.

Easy with origami! Translucent garland

With translucent origami paper, you can easily create stylish interior decor items.

A top recommendation is a translucent garland.

Start by folding summer-themed motifs with the see-through origami.

Alternatively, you can use a stapler to make charming pinwheels.

Once they’re ready, thread them onto a string to form a garland.

You can arrange them in a straight horizontal line or link them vertically—either works.

Adjust the design to suit the space where you’ll display it.

Morning glory in origami kirie (paper-cut art)

This is a simple craft where you fold an origami sheet into a small shape, cut along a curved line, and then unfold it to reveal a morning glory shape.

For morning glories, the star-like form at the center is important, so the folding steps are key to making it appear well.

The fine reverse folds may seem tricky, but it’s just a repetition of straight folds—proceed by checking which line to align with each time.

Since the finished piece has a star-shaped hole, you might place white paper behind it to make the pattern stand out.

Morning-after frame

We all want seniors who find it difficult to go out to be able to enjoy beautiful flowers, don’t we? This time, we’re introducing a frame decorated with origami morning glories.

It’s a simple craft: just attach origami morning glories to an origami frame.

We hope this lovely piece will give viewers the feeling of having admired real flowers! Morning glories are often associated with “summer,” but they bloom from the rainy season through around November.

Through this activity, even seniors who find it hard to sense the changing seasons may be able to feel them—and the conversation about their blooming period is sure to be lively.

Morning glory hanging ornament

Hanging Morning Glory Ornaments ~A cute morning glory that always stays by your side as a summer memory~ @origami @hanging ornaments
Morning glory hanging ornament

What was the first origami you ever folded? Regardless of gender, I feel like everyone in Japan grows up with origami.

The classics are the crane and the samurai helmet, and I hear young people today can even fold hearts.

If someone can fold a morning glory, how about combining those and making a hanging morning glory decoration? A hanging ornament will surely bring a refreshing breeze.

First, add leaves to the morning glory you folded from origami.

If you layer dark green and light green, it gives a three-dimensional effect.

Use thin wire to strengthen the parts that connect the flowers.

Hide the wire by crafting vines out of green paper.
