Camellias and Narcissi
Let’s make wall decorations of camellias and daffodils that are at their best in winter.
It can be tough to go out into the cold to see each flower, but when they’re displayed on the wall, they warm the heart and let you easily feel the season.
First, combine materials like origami paper, construction paper, and tissue paper to create each flower.
If you also make leaves and branches and arrange them together, you’ll get a more realistic scene—highly recommended.
Imagine how each flower looks in bloom and get creative with the layout.
You might also add snowflakes to the open spaces.
Bring a festive winter scene to life with these two flowers!
Simple collage lettering
Let’s use old magazines and newspaper inserts to create lovely works of art.
Using a technique called collage, you make a painting by attaching multiple pieces of paper, fabric, wire, and so on to the surface.
If you make a collage with familiar materials like magazines and newspaper inserts, preparation is easy.
Use various portions of these materials and paste them onto a preliminary sketch that features a single kanji character.
Since you’ll be cutting out the character with scissors, it’s fine if pieces extend beyond the draft lines when you paste them.
Then attach the cut-out collage character to a backing sheet.
It’s fun to see how the character’s feel changes depending on where you place the left and right components of the kanji.
Consulting with older adults to choose a single kanji and create it together can make the activity even more enjoyable.
Because it uses fine motor skills, you can also expect brain-training benefits.
Wreath of plum blossoms and bush warblers
February is that time when, even in the cold, you can start to sense a hint of spring.
The bush warbler and plum blossoms also evoke the arrival of a warmer season amid the chill.
Let’s make a wreath out of origami so that older adults can enjoy the feeling of the seasons too.
We’ll fold the base of the wreath from origami paper as well.
You can make it without using glue or scissors—just folding.
If you’re good at origami, you’ll likely enjoy working on this.
Finish by adding plum blossoms and bush warblers folded from origami to the wreath.
Display it in your room and you’ll instantly feel a spring atmosphere.
stained glass-style ornament
Let’s make beautiful stained-glass-style wall decorations that are perfect for the Christmas season! First, cut black construction paper into any shape you like.
At this point, cut out the center so that only a border remains.
Laminate what you’ve made and trim off the excess around the edges.
Then, simply color it in from the back using markers in several colors, and you’re done! When coloring, if you divide the sections with a black pen before filling them in, it will look even more like stained glass.
Attach string or ribbon and hang lots of them on the wall.
Resist painting with winter motifs
Are you familiar with resist painting? You draw an outline with crayons, then paint over it with watercolors, and the areas not drawn with crayon will take the paint.
This technique uses the principle that the oils in the crayon repel the water in the paint.
It’s a fun method that older adults can enjoy while creating their own pieces.
If you pre-cut the drawing paper into shapes with a winter theme, it may make it easier for older adults to draw.
For example, mittens, snowmen, or knitted hats are recommended.
You can create a wall display filled with unique winter works by older adults.
Winter camellia and snow rabbit
Some seniors may enjoy gardening as a hobby, right? This time, we’re introducing a recommended craft featuring the winter camellia.
As one of the representative winter flowers, a winter camellia craft is perfect for those who love gardening and flowers.
You can also make snow bunnies and snowy landscapes out of drawing paper or cardstock to decorate the wall together.
You’ll be able to bring a wintry atmosphere indoors in no time.
It’s a great way for seniors who find it difficult to go outside due to the cold season or physical reasons to still feel the season indoors.
Seeing their own creations beautifully decorate the space can also give them a sense of accomplishment.
Please try making these together with seniors.
Zodiac wall decoration
The zodiac signs change every year.
It’s said that the origin of the zodiac can be found in ancient Chinese calendars.
Through zodiac-themed wall decorations, older adults may be able to feel the seasons and events like New Year’s and winter.
It’s also believed that displaying the zodiac invites good fortune and serves as a prayer for health and protection from misfortune.
It’s said to carry the meaning of welcoming deities as well.
As a lucky charm, it’s perfect for year-end and New Year craft activities for seniors.
Some older adults may recall stories related to past zodiac years.
It’s a project that can spark lively conversation and help broaden social interaction among seniors.
