winter camellia

Kimie Gangi winter wall decorations: Camellias made with tissue paper (#January #February #seasonal wall decor #tissue paper crafts #winter camellias #easy #pretty #diycrafts #seniors)

As its name suggests, the winter-blooming camellia is perfect for wall decorations during the colder months.

When we think of winter, we tend to imagine cold elements like snow, but the charming look of the winter camellia can bring a warm atmosphere to your room.

This is especially nice for seniors who find it difficult to go out during winter—they can enjoy the season from the comfort of their rooms.

You can use tissue paper to create delicate textures or origami to add vibrant colors—either way, it makes for a soothing wall decoration that’s especially comforting in the cold season.

[Cute Origami] How to Fold a Setsubun 'Ehomaki (Short)' (Origami no Jikan)

Shall we all have fun making a festive Setsubun wall decoration of ehomaki? Use colored paper and origami to represent seaweed, rice, and fillings.

Use black or white paper for the seaweed and rice, and colorful paper to create your favorite fillings.

If you make it three-dimensional, it will look even more realistic.

It’s also nice to chat while choosing a variety of colorful fillings.

Folding origami and cutting paper use your fingertips, which helps stimulate the brain.

After you’re done, you can gaze at the finished wall decoration and imagine the delicious ehomaki.

That kind of time is wonderful, isn’t it?

pine

Kimie Gangi tissue paper Shochikubai “Pine” #tissuePaperArt #fluffy #superEasy #DIY #wallDecor #NewYearDecorations #NewYear

Pine, a popular classic item for New Year’s decorations, is one of the “Shochikubai” trio and is considered auspicious.

Why not try displaying it on the wall? Using translucent tissue paper creates a bright, festive atmosphere.

First, cut slits into the tissue paper to make the pine needles.

Next, attach them to a brown chenille stem (pipe cleaner) to complete the pine bough.

Then, mount the pine onto a tree trunk expressed with brown tissue paper to complete the pine tree.

How about using it as a wall decoration in a care facility welcoming the New Year? It’s also recommended for older adults to work on together, designing it like a bonsai.

The craft using milk cartons sounds fun.

Making it together with seniors would make it an even more wonderful time.

Using tissue paper to finish it in vibrant colors is the key, isn’t it? It seems like each person’s individuality will shine, creating a one-of-a-kind daruma.

Making daruma based on the zodiac animals also sounds interesting.

Setsubun hanging decoration

[Craft Idea] Hanging Decorations for Setsubun (February Setsubun) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation/OT/Daycare) (Early Childhood Learning) (Origami) (Kirie/Paper Cutting) (DIY)

Setsubun, which invites good fortune and drives away evil, is an essential winter event that also carries a wish for a healthy year.

Let’s incorporate various motifs associated with Setsubun—such as oni (ogres), ehomaki sushi rolls, and holly-and-sardine talismans—into your decorations.

This project has you make each motif with origami, creating a cohesive look thanks to the unified material.

Since ehomaki and holly-sardine pieces end up with similar shapes, try varying the color and form of the oni to add originality.
