[Craft Idea] Wisteria Flowers (May, Spring) (PDF pattern link in the description) (Activities for seniors, day service, occupational therapy OT, childcare, crafts) (Wall decorations) (origami)

These are stylish wisteria flowers with a simple silhouette.

First, cut purple origami paper into four equal squares, fold each into a smaller square, and round off the corners with scissors.

Apply glue to the white side, shape it like a cone, and make the petals.

Next, cut light-green origami into thin strips, connect them end to end, and attach the petals in pairs along the strip.

Tip: attach only one petal at the very bottom.

Finally, combine everything with leaves made from light-green origami and branches made from brown origami to complete the piece.

You’ll want lots of petals, so it’s a great idea to divide up the work and make them together.

Hydrangeas and a snail

Easy with a stapler: Make a hydrangea with origami (with audio commentary)

Here’s a lovely idea featuring beautifully colorful hydrangeas and a little snail.

First, prepare small sheets of origami paper.

If you don’t have small ones, you can quarter a standard sheet to make the same size.

Crease the paper, secure it with a stapler, then open it up to form a flower.

Once you’ve made about ten, gather the flowers and glue them together.

If you attach them closely, you can create a full, realistic hydrangea look.

With such pretty hydrangeas, even the snail seems to be having fun.

Even on gloomy, rain-prone days, this decoration will brighten up your room—so give it a try!
