chrysanthemum flower

Wall decoration: Two easy types of chrysanthemum flowers made with origami and colored paper (with voice-over). How to make easy chrysanthemum flowers from paper / 2 types.

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, aren’t there? Because there are so many types, their peak viewing season lasts throughout most of the year, except during the cold winter months.

Chrysanthemums have long been familiar flowers in Japan, so many older adults likely feel a close connection to them.

Here, we’ll introduce a wall decoration made with origami chrysanthemums.

Fold the origami paper and cut it so that it forms petal shapes.

Open and refold the paper, tie a string at the center, and adjust the petals to finish.

The number of petals will change depending on how you fold the paper.

You can also make beautiful chrysanthemums by creating petals from strip-shaped construction paper and gluing them together.

Let’s decorate with various kinds of chrysanthemums to brighten up the facility.

Being in a room with chrysanthemums is sure to bring a sense of calm to older adults.

Chitose Ame (longevity candy)

Shichi-Go-San is a major November event celebrating children’s growth, isn’t it? Many of us have experienced it from different perspectives—our own childhood, accompanying our children, or taking our grandchildren to the shrine.

Speaking of Shichi-Go-San, one essential element is chitose-ame, whose charm also lies in its packaging adorned with auspicious designs.

Just placing lucky motifs such as cranes, turtles, and the pine-bamboo-plum trio around the “Chitose-ame” lettering instantly evokes the scene of Shichi-Go-San.

You could try recreating existing packages, or it might be fun to design your own auspicious chitose-ame bag and incorporate it into your decorations.

Frame of “Grapes and Cosmos”

“Grapes × Cosmos” September wall display with framed decorations

Autumn is a season with many delicious fruits, and among them, grapes come in many varieties.

And when it comes to symbolic autumn flowers, cosmos are a classic.

Here’s an idea: frame and display these two together.

For the grapes, to create a three-dimensional look, cut several half-circle pieces of origami paper to the same size and assemble them as if making half of a paper ball.

Stack the origami sheets and trace the template from above, then cut them all at once for efficiency.

For the cosmos, use pink, red, white, and yellow paper; simply cut petal shapes and layer a few together.

Try decorating the basket with grape leaves and tendrils as well.
