Christmas hanging ornament
These are hanging decorations with festive motifs that evoke Christmas, such as Santa Claus and holly leaves.
Pay attention to how each motif is made and layered to create a three-dimensional finish.
To make Santa Claus, roll a piece of red construction paper cut into a fan shape, then attach parts like the hat and face to complete it.
The holly leaves follow a simple process of layering cut pieces, and it’s recommended to arrange them around Santa to decorate him.
Incorporate ornaments inspired by snowflakes as well to effectively convey the atmosphere of Christmas.
Christmas tree
Christmas, now a major event symbolizing December in Japan as well, lifts many people’s spirits even during the busy year-end season.
A wall decoration depicting a Christmas tree can let older adults—who may find it difficult to walk through the bustling city—enjoy the excitement of Christmas.
You can also have fun with it as a craft, since it’s easy to customize, such as by cutting slits into the colored paper to give the tree the texture of fir branches.
It’s a winter-themed wall decoration that’s sure to bring back the feelings of childhood.

Christmas wreath
When you see Christmas wreaths, many of you probably feel that Christmas is finally drawing near.
The sight of colorful wreaths decorating entrances makes it feel like the whole town is buzzing with excitement, doesn’t it? In recent years, it’s become easy to make wreaths using materials from 100-yen shops, but it’s even simpler to create wall decorations with materials like construction paper, making it easy for seniors to participate.
This is a lovely wall decoration idea where the Christmas wreaths everyone makes brighten up the room.
Heart-shaped paper fan
Introducing heart-shaped paper fans perfect for Valentine’s Day! Just accordion-fold colored construction paper, and you’ll have a three-dimensional heart in no time.
It’s an activity that seniors can enjoy making together, naturally sparking conversation.
Choosing colors to show personal style is part of the charm.
Display the finished pieces on a wall to instantly brighten up the space.
They’re great for decorating facility walls, and also lovely to take home and display.
Create a wall decoration that brings a warm atmosphere to chase away the winter chill—give it a try!
Rose heart wreath
This rose heart wreath is perfect for a group craft activity where many people work together to complete a single piece.
You’ll make three-dimensional rose flowers out of origami and then decorate the wall with those parts to create a vibrant display.
For the roses, you’ll use kirigami to create multiple petal pieces and assemble them into rose blooms.
Making two sizes of roses—large and small—adds a sense of movement when displayed on the wall! Because this project involves detailed work, it’s also effective for seniors’ finger dexterity training and dementia prevention.
It’s a fun craft where you arrange each piece into a heart shape while considering the overall balance!
holly sprat
Hiiragi-Iwashi, made from holly twigs and grilled sardine heads, has long been established nationwide as a Setsubun talisman to ward off evil.
Based on the belief that it keeps demons away, it’s also recommended as a wall decoration for care facilities with many elderly residents.
While making a real one can be difficult due to its appearance and smell, it can be crafted with origami, making it an accessible project.
Its cute look adds a wintery touch to a room while helping to keep misfortune at bay.
Poinsettia wreath
Would you like to make a poinsettia wreath together? Using red and green origami paper that evokes the season, we’ll fold the leaves.
Adding creases will give them a more natural texture.
As you layer and glue the leaves, it will turn into a lovely, three-dimensional wall decoration.
It sounds like a fun time where you can feel the arrival of winter while working with your hands.
It’s also a valuable activity that nurtures creativity and a sense of accomplishment for older adults.
When you make your next craft, please try a poinsettia wreath.
You’re sure to create something beautiful.
