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!

Cosmos decorations

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Decoration

Arrange the cosmos flowers in a circle for a bouquet-like decoration.

The base is made by combining paper folded like a screen, and you should be mindful of creating a rounded shape.

Then, add cosmos flowers made by cutting origami paper, along with decorations like ribbons to make it look like a bouquet, and you’re done.
