[For Seniors] Perfect Finger Exercises! Seasonal Flower Origami

Wisteria in papercutting

Paper-cut wisteria

Wisteria trellises swaying in the breeze are so lovely—they truly capture people’s hearts.

Some of you may look forward to visiting wisteria trellises in spring, while others, especially seniors who now find outings difficult, may have fond memories of touring famous wisteria spots.

In this article, we’ll introduce paper-cut wisteria flowers you can enjoy indoors.

That’s the beauty of crafts—you can enjoy them regardless of the weather or your ability to go out! Using blue, purple, and light-purple origami paper, we’ll make small petals.

It helps to draw lines with a pencil before cutting.

Leave the petals unattached without glue on purpose, so they flutter lightly and create a soft, swaying look.

Work together to make plenty of petals and create a beautiful wisteria trellis!

Wisteria flowers made with origami

[Origami Spring Flowers] How to Fold a Wisteria Flower | Origami Wisteria

Here’s an idea for wisteria flowers that will instantly brighten up a room when hung from walls or the ceiling.

Prepare origami paper in purple, light purple, yellow-green, and green, then fold the flowers and leaves.

Make the flowers using origami cut in half.

Fold the paper in half lengthwise, unfold it, and then fold both edges inward along the center crease.

Some of the steps are a bit detailed, but using your hands skillfully can help prevent cognitive decline.

The more wisteria flowers you make, the fuller and more beautiful the result will be, so please have the seniors divide the work and create them together.

Origami artwork: wisteria flowers

Origami Work: Wisteria

Let’s try making origami wisteria flowers in the style of tsumami-zaiku (pinching craft).

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold again leaving a small gap at the center and glue it in place.

Turn it over, fold in half, and glue the pointed tip side.

Insert a thin, elongated stick into the crease and gently spread it to create volume.

Make many petals using purple or light purple origami and layer them.

Create long, thin sticks, assemble them in a lattice-like structure, and attach the wisteria flowers to finish.

This project helps with hand exercise and rehabilitation, stimulating the brain and potentially aiding in dementia prevention.

How about using it as a recreational activity in a senior care facility?

Wisteria swaying

[Spring Origami] Hanging Decoration: How to Make Wisteria Flowers [Origami]

How about a hanging wisteria decoration with a realistic, three-dimensional look? Prepare purple, light purple, and yellow-green origami paper, bamboo skewers, and string.

The flowers are made from quarter-size origami sheets, so please cut them in advance.

Fold the colored side in half, then fold in half two more times.

Draw petal shapes with a pencil and cut them out.

Use a bamboo skewer to curl the tips of the petals into a gentle curve.

Make a small stick-shaped piece and attach it to the petals to complete each flower.

Then, adhere the flowers onto a long, narrow strip of yellow-green origami to build up a three-dimensional floral cluster.

Attach a string and hang it by the window—watch it sway softly in the breeze.
