[For Seniors] Heartwarming and cozy: Perfect wall decoration ideas for winter care facilities (31–40)
Perfectly round snowman
Let me share an idea for making a perfectly round snowman designed to look like it’s gazing upward.
First, cut a paper cup about 4–5 cm up from the bottom.
Next, attach a snowman face made from construction paper to the bottom of the cup, then glue it to the center of a paper plate.
The paper plate will be the snowman’s body, so add pipe-cleaner arms and use round stickers to create patterns on the body.
Finally, decorate the paper plate with star stickers, and you’re done.
It’s very simple yet creates a striking piece, so give it a try!
Snowman made with rings
A classic for birthday decorations! This is a snowman craft made with paper chains.
Make a loop by gluing a strip of construction paper into a ring, thread another strip through it, then glue it into another ring to create a chain.
Use colored paper for the top ring, as it will be the bucket hat.
The second ring is the face, and the ones below form the body—decorate them with stickers and ribbons.
Attach arms made from brown construction paper and a hanging ribbon to the head, and it’s complete.
Hang it on the wall or ceiling to bring a wintry vibe.
You can use this idea to make Santa Claus, too.
Snowman Stencil
With a clear plastic file, you can easily enjoy stenciling.
First, cut the file open so it becomes a single sheet.
Then cut out a snowman shape or use a craft punch to cut snowflakes to create your stencil sheet.
Once the sheet is ready, place it over drawing paper and secure it, then dab on paint with a sponge.
After the paint dries, add a bucket hat, a carrot nose, and branch arms made from construction paper, and draw the face with a pen to finish!
A big Christmas tree
Let’s create a large Christmas tree on the wall—an iconic holiday decoration.
The process is to decorate triangular pieces in green and arrange them into a tree shape, intentionally leaving gaps so the overall form still reads as a tree while adding a sense of depth.
Once the tree shape is set, including the trunk pieces, it’s recommended to decorate the surrounding area to aim for an even more luxurious look.
If you incorporate reflective elements like gold tape to catch the light, the festive excitement of Christmas will stand out even more.
Christmas Decorations with Paper Ring Garlands
This is about making a chain garland by turning long, thin strips of paper into loops and linking them together, giving it a Christmas feel.
Imagine connecting large loops with thin loops, arranging it so that only one side of each large loop is visible.
The motifs to create include Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowmen.
Each motif is completed in two segments—one for the face and one for the body—and then connected together.
Since you’ll make several long garlands, it’s recommended to vary the positions of the motifs on each one to achieve a more luxurious look.

Simple Christmas Tree
This is a Christmas tree decoration whose charm lies in the layered, three-dimensional look of the leaves.
The key is how you make the leaves: firmly crease the paper first, then cut it into leaf shapes, and bend them to create a 3D effect.
Next, make the conical base of the tree and layer the bent leaves onto it.
Once the green part of the Christmas tree is finished, add the trunk and decorations to make it even more festive.
It’s also recommended to arrange snowflakes around it to enhance the overall atmosphere.

Here’s an idea you can use when you’re short on time but want to make your wall look cute.
All you need are printed papers with Christmas illustrations and raffia ribbon.
Prepare a variety of illustrations.
After cutting out each illustration with scissors, attach them to raffia ribbons cut to match the length of your wall.
Using two colors—red and green—will give it an even more Christmassy feel.
Once all the illustrations are attached, stick the raffia ribbons to the wall, alternating red and green.
It’s an easy idea that creates a very festive, eye-catching wall display.
