[For Seniors] Exciting Summer Wall Decoration Ideas

Goldfish wall decoration

[Craft Idea] Goldfish Paper Craft (July/August Summer) (Senior Recreation) (Early Childhood Education) (Wall Decoration) (Moving, Easy) (Creative) (Psychiatric OT)

How about a cool decoration that looks like cute goldfish gracefully swimming along the wall? The method allows for lots of individuality, so each older adult can enjoy it in their own way! Make the goldfish’s body with origami paper, and use tissue paper for the dorsal and tail fins.

If you crumple the tissue paper first and then cut it, you can create a variety of fluttery fin expressions! To finish, attach the body and fins and add the eyes.

Round stickers make easy eyes.

When displaying them on the wall, try adding strings and hanging them—you’ll get a refreshing, breezy look.

Give it a try!

Hydrangea ball

How to Make a Floating Flower Ball [Hanging Flower Ball]: Starfish and Hydrangeas ★ Summer

When you think of beautiful flowers from early summer to the rainy season, hydrangeas come to mind.

There’s something stylish about how the scene feels complete only when they bloom in the rain.

The color of hydrangeas varies by variety, but it’s also said to change depending on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.

Why not try making hydrangeas yourself with simple materials? You’ll need a styrofoam sphere, and fabric or felt for the flowers and leaves.

The basic method is just to fix small pieces of fabric onto the styrofoam with a bamboo skewer.

Square pieces of fabric mysteriously take on the shape of petals as they sink into the styrofoam.

Making lots to decorate your home in early summer can be lovely.

Recommended for those who have plenty of time.

clear-file wind chime

Summer decoration: Easy and cute wind chime DIY [Clear File] — How to make a wind chime

Recommended for seniors who are confident with their hands is this “Clear File Wind Chime.” Since you’ll be using blades or utility knives, please be very careful when making it.

Materials: clear file folders, string, a small bell, and optional decorative items.

First, cut the clear file into thin rectangular strips, then connect these vertically to form a birdcage-like shape.

This will be the body of the wind chime, so fix it into a spherical form and add decorations.

Thread the string through, attach the bell, and you’re done.

You can use old clear files you no longer need.

It takes more time than paper crafts, so give yourself plenty of time and enjoy the process.
