[For Seniors] Embraced by Spring: Wall Decoration Ideas to Enjoy in April

Parallel arrangement of tulips

[Origami] How to make a parallel tulip arrangement / 【折り紙】チューリップのパラレルアレンジメントの作り方

When it comes to spring flowers, many people probably think of tulips.

This time, we’re introducing a three-dimensional tulip craft.

Three-dimensional origami might sound difficult, but there aren’t many detailed steps, so it may be easy for many seniors to make.

Folding these cute tulips can also spark lively conversations among seniors and those around them.

By the way, a “parallel arrangement” is a style of flower arranging where the plants are placed parallel to each other, evoking the image of them standing in a row.

Tulip wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip Wreath

Tulips are one of the flowers that color the spring season, and their rich variety of hues conveys the excitement of spring.

This is a wreath that captures that springtime joy by arranging colorful tulips on a circular base.

It’s recommended to make the wreath base in green to evoke leaves; create triangular pieces and insert adjacent pieces into the gaps to form a circle.

Then just add tulips and other decorations to the base to finish.

To make the tulips really stand out, it’s important to use folds to give them a three-dimensional look.

Nemophila

[Origami] Easy and Cute Nemophila Folding Method ◇ Origami Nemophila Flower — Spring Blue Flower ◇

Nemophila, with its gentle blue blossoms and petite size, softly colors the spring season.

This project recreates nemophila flowers with origami, combining pieces to bring out their delicate charm.

Fold the paper finely toward the center to form five petals, then stack and assemble them to create the nemophila bloom.

Adding small touches—like staggering the layers during assembly or slightly bending the front edges—helps create a three-dimensional look.

Lining up flowers in different shades to make a gradient also seems like a lovely idea.

Rose wall hanging

How to make rose flowers and leaves #dayservice #daycare #daycareforolderadults #dayrehab #caregiving #olderadults #easycrafts #craftactivity #rose #rollingcoloredpaper

We’d like to introduce an original rose wall decoration made by rolling paper.

Prepare colored paper for the flowers and leaves.

For the flower, take a strip of colored paper cut thinly: randomly pleat (accordion-fold) two-thirds of the strip, leaving the remaining one-third unpleated.

Starting from the unpleated end, roll the paper; when you finish rolling, glue the end to secure it, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, similarly roll thin strips of colored paper from one end, glue to secure, then pinch and shape them with your fingers.

For the stem, cut a long, narrow strip and lightly roll it to add a gentle curve.

Arrange and glue the flowers, stems, and leaves onto your choice of backing or base, balancing the layout, and you’re done in no time! Since there are no difficult steps, this craft can also be used as finger dexterity training in senior care facilities.

Wisteria Flowers Made from Triangles

Kimie Gangi: Super-easy wisteria made from triangle origami

This is a wisteria decoration made by combining pieces of origami folded into triangles.

The folding method is very simple: first divide the origami into four triangular sections.

Apply glue to the left and right edges and fold them inward toward the center.

Glue two of these together to make one large blossom.

Next, we’ll make the small blossoms.

This time, divide the origami into four squares, then fold each square in half to make a triangle.

Fold them the same way as the large blossom, preparing some that are glued in pairs and some that remain as single pieces.

Attach them in order onto a paper tape, and the beauty of the arrangement forms a lovely wisteria trellis!

Wisteria flowers made with the kirigami technique

DIY Paper Wisteria | Paper Flowers | Origami Flowers

These are wisteria flowers made of origami, with realistically tapered petals that get smaller toward the tip.

If you use two-tone origami paper with a gradient, the result will be even more striking.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Then cut it into half a heart shape and unfold it.

You’ll have eight petals; cut off one petal, then glue the remaining edges together to make a six-petal flower.

Gradually increase the portion you cut off to create slightly smaller flowers as you go.

String the flowers together from the smallest one using a needle and thread, and you’ll end up with an exquisitely delicate and beautiful wisteria.
